Technology was starting to look easy.Too easy.Then Elon Musk bought Twitter.And Bing and Google flung out their spins on generative AI.And ransomware took down Royal Mail, a software fault grounded BA flights and the same happened across domestic US flights.In the era before Musk bought Twitter, I was bewildered that a site with active users in the hundreds of millions - rather than the billions of rivals such as Facebook or TikTok - had 7,500 staff and still managed to be so terrible at battling , fascism and spam.

It might seem that the Twitter logo in its current form has been around forever.The blue bird design is well known and has even survived Elon Musk's takeover of the social media platform - at least for now.But the original Twitter logo was very different indeed.While Twitter is now synonymous with blue - in more ways than one after the rollout of the Twitter Blue paid verification service, the brand's colours were almost a soapy, slimy green complete with a water droplet effect, for some reason.

Bluesky Social
Looking for an alternative to the now Elon Musk-owned Twitter?The original Twitter architect himself, Jack Dorsey, might just have something for you: Bluesky Social, a new "decentralized social network" that allegedly seeks to reclaim user data.But before you pack your Twitter bags for a decentralized social future, Bluesky isn't exactly here just yet.

Elon Musk, disruptor extraordinaire of the social media platform he bought for $44 billion isn't planning to run Twitter permanently on a full-time basis and says a CEO will be hired.The world's richest man - who is also CEO at Tesla and SpaceX - made the comments when he testified yesterday during a lawsuit brought by shareholders who claim his $56 billion compensation pack awarded by the electric car company was too high.

Tesla Inc. boss Elon Musk said on Monday he will serve as chief executive of Twitter, the social media company he just bought for $44 billion, a move that Wall Street analysts have said could stretch the billionaire thin.Musk, who also runs rocket company SpaceX, brain-chip startup Neuralink and tunnelling firm the Boring Company, fired Twitter's previous chief Parag Agrawal and other top company officials last week, and has proposed revisions to the platform's user verification process, which has been free until now.
