Newly leaked documents provide a hint as to what Elon Musk is building at Twitter 2.0, including “blue for business” - a feature that’ll allow companies to buy verification badges for their workers and put new badges on their profiles: platformer.news/p/elon-goes-ha…
Twitter employees who don’t sign Elon Musk’s “hardcore” agreement by 5pm today have effectively resigned, the company says. They’ll be on payroll for 2 months and get an additional month of severance, pending a separation agreement that has not yet been shared.

I just asked Meta’s Galactica.org to write about the “political economy of Facebook.” It returned, “Sorry, your query didn’t pass our content filters.”   Upon checking further, I can’t get #Galactica to write anything about Facebook or Mark Zuckerberg. Not that I was expecting a blistering critical analysis, but it feels pretty weak that Galactica will write about other platforms and tech CEOs, but seems to filter any attempt to write about Facebook or its CEO.
I'm guessing whoever's responsible for keeping the Twitter careers site up has also been fired.
