Look at the photos above. We have one of the most perverse beings that is capable of sacrificing half of its population in order to find balance… The other one is only Thanos, the character created by Jim Starlin, who now dominates trends before the arrival of Elon Musk to Twitter.

The nervousness before the announcement that was revealed this November 4 was evident in the Twitter offices in the world, to the extent that the employees have baptized this event as #TwitterSnap.
The memes did not wait
According to Casey Newton, a contributor to The New York Times, Musk ordered all staff to return home until further news.
In Slack, dozens of employees are posting the 🫡 emoji as a possible farewell.
Anticipating the loss of half their colleagues, some have begun calling Friday “The Snap” and posting Thanos memes.

This decision by Elon Musk that affects 50% of his workforce adds to the controversy over the employer’s proposals, of which the charging of eight dollars a month to verified accounts stands out, and the charge to watch videos on this social network .
According to Elon Musk’s office, these measures seek to make the social network profitable, and guarantee true freedom of expression.
Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressing advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.
Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
