Nice take on the latest two high level Twitter resignations

Though to be fair, being the head of HR at a company that doesn’t offer employees toilet paper can only be marginally more fun than being head of engineering when the CEO is randomly disconnecting sensitive server racks.

If a San Francisco jury rules in the shareholder's favour, Mr Musk may be ordered to pay billions of dollars in damages.
He has already paid $20m to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) for the 7 August 2018 tweet, while Tesla had to pay another $20m.
The SEC also removed Mr Musk as chairman of Tesla as a result of the tweet.

Seeing more and more vatniks, and they are, to a man, anti-vaxers too. Pretty sure a lot of them are bots/Kremlinoids, especially given some of their attempts at British swearing

Re: tw.tter
Probably a good idea. Text messages aren’t very secure and there are lots of cases of them being spoofed or intercepted.
Google or Microsoft Authenticator apps on a smartphone are usually thought of as more secure.

wow. the guy, Halli, that Elon Musk has been mocking is not only a class act, but was literally on a list of "do not fire" VIPs because of how expensive his exit package was (likely because, if what Halli's other tweets say are true, Twitter acquired his company for a good price)

Rumour is that Twitter has managed to lose access to their internal root certificate authority and so can’t generate new certs. This happened because all the people with access to the root certificates were fired. Certificates are used to verify servers and establish secure connections between services. Certificates are now expiring and they can’t generate a new ones, Bad Things are happening as a result. This could be bad, as in very bad. With any luck terminal if they don’t have a decent disaster recovery plan.
Oops.

Re: tw.tter
The problem is that when they got fired all the keys they used to access the root cert should have been destroyed/revoked. So even being re-employed won't help. Keeping hold of any of those keys post employment is a very big no-no and you shouldn't admit it whatsoever if you have them.
There is most likely a disaster recovery* plan to deal with worst situations than this. It won't be fun, but then again, Elon will probably have fired the people in charge of disaster recovery.
That's all assuming the rumour is true though.

Which could have its own issue, as other parties may then decide not to trust Twitter's root certificates.

Interesting approach to getting self driving cars. Remove the radar sensor from new cars and disable it on Tesla's already on the road
Because obviously the way to get self driving cars is to first get the cost down then get the system to work.

He zeroed in on a target: the car radar sensors, which are designed to detect hazards at long ranges and prevent the vehicles from barreling into other cars in traffic. The sleek bodies of the cars already bristled with eight cameras designed to view the road and spot hazards in each direction. That, Musk argued, should be enough.
“No one believed me that working for Elon was the way it was until they saw how he operated Twitter,” Bernal said, calling Twitter “just the tip of the iceberg on how he operates Tesla.”

I was pointing out that the keys should have been destroyed/revoked on termination, because have non employees with security keys is a huge security risk.

NPR and BBC object to Twitter deciding to label them "government funded media".
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65226481
Article says Twitter originally labelled NPR "state-affiliated media" which put them in the same category as propaganda outlets like RT. When NPR objected they changed it to government funded. NPR say they're ceasing tweeting on the account while that stands.
