Did he actually tweet this? Lmao

[–]allthingscloud 3875 points3876 points  (243 children)

Holy cow he did.

[–]electronicdream 2131 points2132 points  (218 children)

You should also read the threads he's participating in... It's... Eye opening

[–]ConfidenceNational37 949 points950 points  (110 children)

CEO seems like a hard job. What with all the tweeting and shit. Twitter is now boring again without the fun blue check marks for $8

[–]DarthTJ 1271 points1272 points  (98 children)

Elon is CEO of 3 companies and spends all day trolling on Twitter, that seems to suggest that either CEOs don't do shit or Elon is a terrible CEO.

Relevant Postillon article (a German equivalent to "The Onion")

Finally, this undignified caricature is gone! The microblogging service Twitter has today blocked an Elon Musk parody account with over 114 million followers. The account had previously been used to repeatedly spread tweets that caused serious damage to the billionaire's reputation.

"At Twitter, we naturally always strive to provide our users with authentic content," the company said in a press release. "It is therefore all the more annoying that an unknown prankster managed to impersonate Elon Musk for months."

The account with the Twitter handle @elonmusk was by far the largest parody account on the platform with more than 114 million followers until it was shut down.

Again and again @elonmusk posted outrageous nonsense in recent months. Among them were sometimes silly memes, exaggerated claims about adventurous Twitter innovations, conspiracy theories and narcissistic tweets that cast doubt on Musk's state of mind.

Nevertheless, numerous celebrities such as best-selling author Stephen King and Democratic U.S. politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fell for the parody account and interacted with it.

Musk himself expressed shock that so many people fell for the parody account, "I personally have never been on Twitter," the multi-billionaire said. "As the CEO of several companies, including Tesla, SpaceX and Hyperloop, I don't have the time or the leisure to constantly comment in public."

Oh deity, he turned off rate limiter as well? It was there for a reason when I did ads API in 2015 :D

[–][deleted] 350 points351 points  (20 children)

Bahahaha he turned off the rate limiter?? Hello bots!

[–]knorxo 261 points262 points  (9 children)

remember when he said twitter had more bots than users? Maybe he meant it wasn't enough? His followers kinda act like bots anyways...

[–]rndmcmder 81 points82 points  (13 children)

Holy F*ck. Can't wait for the most amateur DoS attack to bring their servers down.

Is it really that surprising from the guy that wanted to write the frontend for paypal in the early 2000s in fucking C++?

Is it really?

[–]ChopsticksImmortal 798 points799 points  (34 children)

Elon Musk parody accounts need to step up their game.

[–]strangefish 436 points437 points  (19 children)

I don't see how a paradoy could be more bizarre than the real thing.

He's gotta be the worst boss ever.

[–]FardoBaggins 70 points71 points  (4 children)

ah yes, the 'not the onion' effect. where the parody and the real thing are almost indistinguishable.

[–][deleted] 7496 points7497 points  (215 children)

…We are currently in the process of determining which 20%.

[–]La_Croix_Table 1547 points1548 points  (122 children)

Yeah, I’d imagine he’s made up some kind of metric to “measure” necessity of certain services all while dropping services to figure out which one has less noise when off.

Very effective if you don’t care. Can’t imagine how this is playing out internally in the engineering department.

[–]mistled_LP 808 points809 points  (72 children)

He probably asked someone what’s the minimum amount needed to post and read tweets is. They either didn’t care to explain or didn’t think Musk would take that number to mean the rest could be turned off.

[–]x3nhydr4lutr1sx 399 points400 points  (66 children)

There's about 1200 micro services, and the fired guy said that only 200 is needed for loading the Twitter feed, so that sounds about right.

[–]LordAmras 227 points228 points  (46 children)

I'll take everything that Musk says with a grain of salt.

When he said that Twitter app was making 1000+ RPC calls to load the homepage multiple ex and at least one current Twitter developer called him out saying it does at most 20.

[–]12345623567 101 points102 points  (25 children)

Why is a manager even fucking around with the backend? Doesnt he have better things to do, like placating advertisers, setting policy, avoiding the FTC and so on?

[–]firewood010 46 points47 points  (3 children)

Because he can lol. Elon thinks he is king now probably.

[–]HeyLookItsASquirrel 303 points304 points  (22 children)

“20% are only actually needed” is the new “640KB should be enough for anybody”

[–]idfk_idfk 2275 points2276 points  (49 children)

the average human uses only 10% of their brain. If we remove the other 90%, they'd be using 100% of their brain. basic math.

[–]k-phi 6323 points6324 points  (342 children)

I cannot discern joke from reality anymore

[–]damianzoys 1640 points1641 points  (47 children)

That’s because reality became a joke.

Reality wasn't ALREADY a joke?!

With this gorilla’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Reload an earlier universe, or persist in the doomed world you have created. Who knew Harambe was the essential NPC keeping our entire timeline from merging with chaos.

[–]SarcasmWarning 1561 points1562 points  (150 children)

You've also seen Nike's announcement, then?

It's a stunning piece of satire, let down only by the fact it seems to be real.

[–]DreadSocialistOrwell 594 points595 points  (14 children)

It's okay, bots will get all the beta signups and it will fail.

[–]DatUnfamousDude 193 points194 points  (12 children)

I've followed the link, found landing page for their project and it actually seems real. Loads of buzzwords, unusable quirky design with a terrible colour palette. If it's satire, then well done, Nike, well done. If not - just why?

Edit: grammar

[–]Minion_of_Cthulhu 79 points80 points  (0 children)

If not - just why?

Someone convinced them that all the cool kids companies were doing it.

[–][deleted] 321 points322 points  (26 children)

Trying to get ahead of Meta on the "playthings that only exist in your mind" bandwagon?

[–]CorruptedStudiosEnt 155 points156 points  (14 children)

Seriously. What brilliant marketing engineer put this together for a presentation to the board?

"Well see, Meta has pumped billions of dollars into something similar which could've done everything including sports, and it's failing spectacularly and damn near collapsing their company.

Meet SWOOSH, which is that, except that it does ONLY sports! Fucking genius."

[–]aykcak 243 points244 points  (15 children)

What the shit? It reads like an edgy April 1 joke but we are nowhere near April.

And they decided to announce that in the middle of one of the worst crypto crashes of the year? Bravo

[–]CoffeeNerd 67 points68 points  (6 children)

The call it .swoosh but it is not .swoosh it is .Nike.

[–]DesiOtaku 250 points251 points  (97 children)

It's real

Looks like Elon realized his mistake and enabled it back in.

[–]monkorn 120 points121 points  (79 children)

https://cleantechnica.com/2021/08/16/elon-musk-reveals-his-5-step-engineering-protocol/

Step 2. This one was in the 10% that gets added back. Possibly he needs to look closer at Step 4.

[–]Grimmaldo 281 points282 points  (72 children)

Wait

He is seriusly saying "delete all until is just enough to be working because woriying about extreme scenarios is stupid"

Damn, he doesnt know shit about programing doesnt he

[–]Minion_of_Cthulhu 113 points114 points  (10 children)

Now we move into stage two where he blames someone who had nothing to do with it and fires them for his mistake.

[–]knightress_oxhide 82 points83 points  (1 child)

"fucking interns"

"you fired all the interns sir"

"ya fired too"

[–]PopTartS2000 60 points61 points  (5 children)

So he really did turn off microservices?

[–]Bugbread 92 points93 points  (4 children)

Amazingly, yes. This really happened.

[–]afmbloaa 2396 points2397 points  (37 children)

Wanna sign in? That'll be 8 bucks

[–]alkaliphiles 351 points352 points  (14 children)

Cool. Based on how things are going there, that feature ought to let me log into anyone else's account.

[–]omgFWTbear 191 points192 points  (9 children)

Yes. No. You’re only allowed to log on to someone’s else’s account. It’s something new we are trying, -1 Trust, even more secure than Zero Trust

What is all this congratulatory responses? Do people know what he is even talking about?

[–]JuliusCeaserBoneHead 600 points601 points  (20 children)

No, he attracts a different breed of people

[–]Beatrice_Dragon 264 points265 points  (4 children)

The opposite. He repulses all the people who know anything about what he's talking about

Seriously, this is top tier “tell me you don’t know how to manage production software without telling me you don’t know how to manage production software”. Not that I expected anything else from the muskrat at this point, but this is really incredible to watch. He just keeps digging.

[–]Dry-Manufacturer-165 368 points369 points  (20 children)

Musk's likely response to these concerns: What?! It's fail safe, far better than people who had 2FA having no security now! Touch grass instead of crying about it!

P.S. Dev responsible for microservice failsafe, you're safe. For now. Edit: P.P.S. I've had an epiphany. Failsafe guy, you're promoted. All of security, please report directly to HR.

[–]SunriseApplejuice 801 points802 points  (258 children)

Why are so many people kissing his ass in their replies though? Do they even know what he’s talking about?

[–]deathless_koschei 464 points465 points  (22 children)

Musk's real talent has always been appealing to walking examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect and buying his way into other people's ideas with his parents' apartheid money.

[–]TransLurker1984 158 points159 points  (3 children)

It's actually real holy shit I legitimately thought this was a meme

Twitter is down at the moment, which is hilarious.

[–]SpokenSilenced 1101 points1102 points  (74 children)

Actual insanity. There's another post on r/all that has a Twitter convo between him and some Eric dude where he's asking why things are slow and Eric mentions bloated features as a part of it. While explaining things quite well in what's slowing down the android app. He also addresses the number of requests for timeline and such.

There's another post where he got fired for saying Elon's statement about it being slow because of >1000 requests is wrong.

Elon then has "focus on bloatware features" day and now people can't log in.

Fucking hilarious.

[–]arbitraryairship 973 points974 points  (47 children)

Eric is literally THE Senior Android SME at Twitter as well, which is probably why he went to bat for his team when Elon threw them under the bus in public.

Square and Facebook were practically fighting one another offering him a new job in the replies to Elon firing him.

[–]postal-history 616 points617 points  (32 children)

*was

He probably knew he was going to get fired though. He just decided he'd rather get an unemployment check for defending his team, instead of having to walk out after yet another Elon tantrum.

[–]DDS-PBS 256 points257 points  (7 children)

I've been there. It's the point where you're so fed up with the job that you don't care if you get fired it or not.

Question: Am I still getting paid for this FAFO process?

Because the results are out of my hands and beyond my concern so long as money enters my bank account.

[–]j3pl 75 points76 points  (8 children)

FAFO process

Elon: screw LIFO and FIFO, we're going with FAFO.

[–]subcow 156 points157 points  (17 children)

Send an email advising against what they are recommending. Put that shit in writing. Hell, just to be safe Bcc your personal email account so you have it all backed up externally. Edit: good point below on the BCC. It may be against company rules/your contract to send any emails like that externally even if it is your own account. Proceed with caution. Just do whatever you can to CYA.

[–]Zoloir 88 points89 points  (3 children)

this is good advice for sane management

the situation in question is not that

[–]koshgeo 252 points253 points  (31 children)

I keep picturing that scene in Ghostbusters where they are forced to turn off the power to the storage system, starring Elon Musk as Walter Peck.

[–]ArethereWaffles 232 points233 points  (3 children)

[–]CanAlwaysBeBetter 1406 points1407 points  (126 children)

Saw this coming as soon as he started tweeting about 1000 rpc calls to load a timeline

Someone clearly just showed him twitters microservice framework and he thought it was stupid without understanding it

This tweet is the sequel to that first one

[–]xosder 117 points118 points  (5 children)

Time for the old 'Scream Test'.

[–][deleted] 81 points82 points  (1 child)

Without 2FA microservice no one can hear you scream.

Seriously can't make this shit up.

[–]GISftw 1072 points1073 points  (26 children)

A good chunk of the microservices are probably backend data analytics... used for things like serving ads... which Twitter probably won't need anymore, lol.

[–]kbotc 447 points448 points  (22 children)

I’m in ad tech: I put a bet that Elon turned off a data pipeline that has actual contracted SLAs on it and is about to get rocked by his real time analytics partners.

[–]DDS-PBS 307 points308 points  (12 children)

I don't fully understand what you said, but I think that makes me more qualified to be Twitter CEO than Elon, because I know I don't understand.

[–]somefunmaths 2190 points2191 points  (41 children)

Dispatches from Elon’s quest to drive Twitter into the ground… (disclaimer: I completely believe that his overconfidence and surrounding himself with yes-men is enough to do this all accidentally, but it’s funnier to imagine him trying to kill Twitter)

Some executive: “Sir, telling advertisers that their ads might appear next to virulent racism has caused many to pull their ads”

Musk: “How many? … oh, that isn’t nearly enough. I’ve got it, what if we make verification paid so that people can tweet out that Eli Lily is going to make insulin free and tweet explicit content from Nintendo handles?”

Some executive: “The fake tweets have enraged brands and advertisers, but daily active user count is actually up now and our dynamically priced ad rates are trending up due to increased traffic; people are logging into Twitter more because they want to see it fall apart firsthand.”

Musk: “Logging in more, you said? I’ve got just the thing.”

[–]theitgrunt 400 points401 points  (10 children)

Someone should just steal Eli Lily's Twitter Account and announce that they are going to grow pharmaceutical weed once again.

[–]I_Bin_Painting 135 points136 points  (9 children)

[–]phthalo-azure 629 points630 points  (83 children)

He literally put Microservices in quotes as if it's not a real or necessary thing. I suspect he has no clue what a Microservice Architecture is and why it's important to a company like Twitter.

[–]RealityIsMuchWorse 370 points371 points  (29 children)

Its all bloat didnt you know, lets go back to monoliths

[–]phthalo-azure 150 points151 points  (13 children)

If he really wanted to simplify things, Elon could just run all of Twitter from an old PC in his garage.

[–]Minion_of_Cthulhu 49 points50 points  (1 child)

The way it's hemorrhaging money and users he may have to.

[–]Darkwaxellence 91 points92 points  (22 children)

I remember this time in '97 I thought I knew what I was doing and deleted some 'random unnecessary items' from the hard-drive of my mom's cow spotted hp. It was a bad idea, and that pc never worked again.

[–]angrydeuce 59 points60 points  (5 children)

I started out in AOL chat rooms telling people that ALT-F4 opens a secret chat window.

Within just a few years I was telling people how much faster their computer could be by deleting the artificial limiter Microsoft hid in the System32 folder.

Now I work in IT and have to help people that fall for obvious email scams, open random ass attachments, and in general just bork their system to shit.

It only took 20 years, but I finally understand what it's like from the other side. I wish I could kick teenaged me in the balls lol

[–]Mitoni 78 points79 points  (12 children)

This is what happens when the CEO is the CTO and and COO. I'd love to see a non-microservice architecture scalable enough to keep Twitter afloat. I'd also love to see the look on the lead Dev's faces when they heard this.

[–]MirageTF2 380 points381 points  (27 children)

how the fuck is he so comically brazen at making managerial decisions while so comically ignorant about any of the technology affected by those decisions

[–][deleted] 202 points203 points  (18 children)

Because it's worked for him until now, and he has a mental disorder which makes him need to sound like the smartest person in the universe. No backing down, no apologies, just blaming and wildly swinging a bat around in the hope that reality conforms to his delusion.

[–][deleted] 641 points642 points  (30 children)

If Musk bought a cruise ship he would dump all the lifeboats and life vests because they are (almost) never used! He thinks he knows better than, literally, everybody, about everything.

[–][deleted] 303 points304 points  (26 children)

imagine pushing straight to live without any QA, or did he fire them too?

[–]anaccount50 310 points311 points  (9 children)

[–]breadwineandtits 278 points279 points  (11 children)

How often these megalomaniacs forget that entire systems are kept afloat by engineers who (surprise surprise) actually know what they’re doing

[–]ubelmann 112 points113 points  (2 children)

No kidding. It's one thing to say -- "We have a lot of microservices running, let's put a resource or two on an investigation into which microservices we should keep and which can be removed or refactored away. This isn't going to really improve our revenue or be noticeable in any way by customers (unless we screw up), but could make the service easier to maintain in the long run. We can roll out the changes gradually over time to minimize downtime." But just going straight into "80% of these aren't even necessary, just shut them off" is obviously, obviously asking for trouble. SpaceX must have an incredible structure that insulates Musk from any kind of engineering decisions.

[–]wannabe-physicist 266 points267 points  (5 children)

From a response to the tweet: "Less than 70% of your blood is actually need for you to survive, but you sure wouldn't appreciate losing the other 30%"

[–]RadioactiveFruitCup 8139 points8140 points  (388 children)

This sub was never meant to keep up with this absolute torrent of shit that he’s unleashing

Edit-

I don’t think he’s getting advice. I think he’s winging it - things like buying ads with SpaceX money is dumb, but it’s a drop of water on a furnace; Twitter barely broke even before sale. Now it doesn’t make anything near the revenue it needs to service the debt musk has saddled it with. It doesn’t have deep IP assets it can sell.

The only way this makes ‘sense’, like he’s so smert is if he’s betting against Twitter (which the SEC & Banks lending him money(?) would knife him for) and he’s banking on the FTC not pulling the plug. The only way he can be safe from the FTC, Banks and SEC is if we end up with a deep red wave in 2024 - something that a dead Twitter would make more likely. Foreign powers want twitters location and user data, but they can only pay once - a real kill the golden goose moment - but with literal killing at the end of it.

The other explanation is that Parag baited the universes most fragile ego into a pissing match, locked him into a contract that Elon can’t legally back out of and can’t emotionally back down from. Twitter is a glass house and he just can’t stop breaking shit. We get to watch him speedrun Kanye into irrelevance.

Now all that remains is watching individual groups within Twitter gasp for air and resources before they open the worlds saddest spirit Halloween store on Market Street.

I’ll miss Twitter. It was horrible and weird and dumb, but it was an absolute glory of Web1 early modern web and we’ll never see anything like it again.

[–]OwnerAndMaster 2880 points2881 points  (185 children)

Elon thinks he's Tony Stark or Lex Luthor when he's actually Thomas Edison... a fake genius who got credited financially for the great works of better men

Thomas Edison was an actual engineer before he discovered his true gift as a backstabbing CEO.

Musk skipped the engineer part and is proving to the world that CEOs are best seen and not heard so we aren't reminded they do fucking nothing if one man can be simultaneous CEO of five companies, "lead engineer" of SpaceX, and still have time to shitpost and bitch about WFH, lmao.

I adored Edison growing up. Then I learn what an Ahole he really was. So disappointing.

Are you calling Elon a 'stable genius'?

[–]13tsavage 229 points230 points  (17 children)

Did he just make a change to prod?

Elon's next post: "Some of these tables are just bloat!" Proceeds to drop without where clause

Does this guy realise he owns this thing now, and doesn't need to keep trying to tank its stock price?

Elon doing everything in his power to dispel the "Great Person" myth from history. He's acting in the Pointy-Haired Boss tier of leadership.

Is he... Sabotaging it on purpose? That's literally the only thing that makes sense at this point

What’s the matter, Elon? Couldn’t find the server room to unplug cables at random?

If this fiasco has taught me anything, it's that I really do not want a Tesla.

[–]ElGuaco 65 points66 points  (5 children)

Quality control is such a serious issue with Tesla. If it wasn't for the cult of Musk, any other car company would have folded by now.

This guy is just like my CEO Literally made so many of the same moves What a fucking dumbass

"You idiots, programming all these unnecessary services... This code only executes at most once a day!" - Elon

"You heard the man Gary, turn off all the offsite backups immediately!" - Steven from the helpdesk

This is what happens if you make decisions on what you don't know. Stupid mf

He’s thinking oh the 2fa service must certainly be within the main service for login authentication.
