Twitter may be hacked and nobody's talking about it
blog.thenewoil.orgThis just seems like ridiculous speculation when the answer is far more likely to just be that someone at Twitter decided to steal the account and sell it.
Facts we know:
1) Pre-Elon Twitter employees took bribes for verifications
2) Pre-Elon Twitter employees would steal even active vanity handles for their friends or coworkers.
Why do we suddenly pretend neither of these things happened countless times and jump to this other conclusion when it's far more likely someone on their way out the door decided to make a few more bucks under the table from Twitter.
Do you have any sources for this? If this did happen, what evidence is there that it stopped happening under-Elon? If a company have a bribery problem, often changing management is unlikely to fix in two months if ever.
I guess you could argue that all bribes for verification went away when twitter let you get verified for 7 dollars, but didn't twitter turn that off?
I'm saying we're purposefully ignoring the past to try and paint the change of leadership in a bad light when more likely scenarios exist.
Frankly the attempts to try and spin the narrative that the sky is falling at Twitter are getting tiresome.
The reality is (to the end user) the remaining team appear to be delivering the same experience at a fraction of the cost.
If that's the case, it's still pretty damning.
This is all speculation until Elon comes out to assure everyone that Twitter certainly hasn't been hacked, then I'll believe that it has been.
