An activist trolled Elon Musk via stinging messages projected onto Twitter HQ
As Elon Musk loses or fires more and more Twitter staff, the platform has been in increasing chaos.
I was laid off from Twitter this afternoon. I was in charge of managing badge access to Twitter offices.
Elon just called me and asked if I could come back to help them regain access to HQ as they shut off all badges and accidentally locked themselves out.

Musk’s twisted Jerry Maguire email came across as an added level of threat to the remaining workers.
Let’s talk about the legal problems Elon just created for himself with this cruel new staff email.
You’re fired if you don’t commit to long hours at high intensity within 24 hours?

Tweeters are bracing themselves for the platform to die.
me looking at twitter: this feels like the end of toy story 3 when all the toys accepted their deaths as they approached the incinerator
my wife: what the fuck are you talking about

Musk turned one of the biggest sites on the internet into a crater within a month.
I never want to hear anyone call him other than a dipshit ever again.
Twitter HQ
RIP Twitter

Elon always thinks he’s the smartest person in the room.
He’s about to be standing in an empty room and it still won’t be true.#RIPTwitter

In the meantime, one person – describing himself as a ‘projection activist’ – decided to take his criticism into the real world – where Elon Musk can’t turn the algorithm against him or delete his account.

The full scroll reads –
“Elon Musk: mediocre manchild, pressurized privilege, petty racist, megalomaniac, worthless billionaire, bankruptcy baby, supreme parasite, petulant pimple, apartheid profiteer, dictator’s asskisser, lawless oligarch, insecure colonizer, cruel hoarder, lawless oligarch, space Karen”
Not even a character limit to slow them down.
There were other messages –
