    The attack started when Musk acquired Twitter and laid off everyone who wasn’t an asshole.

        I understand that it can be immensely scary to leave a job and if the acquisition happened a week ago I’d be more forgiving but… they’ve had enough time, H1Bs have exit clauses that, especially someone fleeing Twitter for ethical reasons, could have used to find an alternative sponsor.

        I do fucking hate H1B exploitation, but folks have had long enough at this point that the excuses runneth dry.

          I was on an H1 programme, but not for a green card. Just until the TNs were fixed.

          But these exit clauses? Never heard of 'em. We lived in abject fear of fucking up to the point of being fired, as that meant a moving truck super-fast. We were glad we had a company that paid us at par and also kept us on when it had to downsize for daring to sue IBM.

          I shudder at the people trapped at Twitter and what they must see daily.

          they made sure that if your fired you will be deported, or if you stop getting sponsored or something. biotech also exploits visas too, but not too the extent of tech employers, making an already very hard industry to get into harder.(why do you think alot of scientists tend to be from the ME, INDIA or asia)

    Most of the people involved in that cyberattack are wearing thigh high socks and cat ear headphones, and they’re much cooler than Musk would ever be.

        Having a janky wang doesn’t make Musk uncool in and of itself, lots of janky wang-havers are cool.

        His insecurity about it, publicly, deprives him of any coolosity he ever could have had.

        He is a man without potential or love.

          The joke started out in my head as “stop, I can only get so hard!” And then I classed it up with medical terminology.

          priaprism

          I had to look this up, and wow, the image on the Wikipedia article for priaprism is… well, it’s something.

          Fresco of Priapus, Casa dei Vettii, Pompeii. Depicted weighing his enormous erect penis against a bag of gold.

      I mean, they’re being DDOSed right now. But yeah, he fired anyone who would know how to mitigate a DDOS attack.

        He can literally go and hire cloudflare to come in and help him fix it.

        But I’m sure he needs someone experienced enough to manage that project.

            Probably, but it wouldn’t be all that easy. It would require him to intimidate a bank or get a personal loan. He has the asset weath required, but, especially with the recent Tesla failure, he’d be hard pressed to get an honest loan from a bank for fear that he’ll run his finances into the ground.

            Cloudflare is worth 40B, he certainly doesn’t have anywhere near that much cash, his entire tesla holdings are around 100b and worth a lot less every day.

        I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed “redundancies” in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.
