I thought this point from a former employee was astute https://t.co/qz865JfdZG https://t.co/OBCeZq6yEP — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my post-mortem on Ev Williams’ tenure at Medium and how it got caught in the middle https://t.co/qz865JfdZG https://t.co/WZo5mSEFkX — PolitiTweet.org

Some blog should do a post headlined “Twitter sues Elon Musk on Prime Day” just to see if it performs better in Google search — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@peteryared right. and then Twitter will point out that he’s violated the merger agreement in six different ways and so it doesn’t matter — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@peteryared merger agreement said that those numbers are estimates and subjective. Elon agreed to those terms without reservation. there is no way to get from there to Material Adverse Effect. Bank on it — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@peteryared sure, but then read in the Twitter response how none of that matters in the slightest. (Also they didn’t knowingly misrepresent spam numbers. Also even if they DID it would mean Twitter was MORE valuable (because of higher ARPU). Don’t fall for this BS! — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@peteryared I’m sorry to hear that you have been Elon-pilled! And encourage you to read the lawsuit — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@dshaw @gmcconnaughey twitter agreed not to make any major changes without consulting him as part of the deal — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Aaaand that’s the lawsuit. Very persuasively written, I’d say. I’m sure Musk’s team will respond with a lot of exasperated spluttering — but at the moment, it’s hard to see a single fact on their side — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Twitter notes that Elon isn’t allowed to terminate the contract if he himself has breached his own obligations under the deal. And then lists six ways that he breached those obligations https://t.co/rYEMQ5qj4C — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Related: for the first time, Twitter confirmed that attrition is up since the Musk deal was signed. So much for Elon the talent magnet https://t.co/p0hVOUObgB — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Twitter has been trying to create a retention program to stop all of its best workers from fleeing amid the chaos that Musk has created, but Musk won’t approve it (!) https://t.co/20IGgXLVMR — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Wow, just look how hard Musk has worked to understand Twitter’s process for measuring spam https://t.co/87SaFq70kO — PolitiTweet.org

One of the better exhibits I’ve seen in a legal filing https://t.co/38mbvZm8av — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

Twitter sues Elon Musk, calling his attempts to weasel out of the deal “a model of hypocrisy” and “a model of bad faith.” https://t.co/iWpLK9h7Wf https://t.co/DJ0xQjQYyC — PolitiTweet.org

@eringriffith omg — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@nbashaw we’ll see but i’m struck by the continued reliance on anti-censorship rhetoric as the key differentiator — has been a dead end for Gab/Truth Social/GETTR et al but the Coinbase mafia keep going back to that well — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

@nbashaw off the top of my head — posting that is up to 5,000 times slower than posting to https://t.co/2MzVS1TFVv — PolitiTweet.org

@damedoteth what would you say is the median view of blockchain users toward centralized authorities? — PolitiTweet.org

Casey Newton @CaseyNewton

“The underlying philosophical idea behind [blockchains] is, 'We want a world without any sort of centralized authority, because we cannot trust any of them ever.' And that is the opposite of what we want as a society, in my opinion." https://t.co/ncR1sDTt1X — PolitiTweet.org

@joshhunt NFT sales peaked in January and had grown 100x in a year but yes there were plenty of people saying that it was all a big scam — PolitiTweet.org
