It's actually fairly simple. If a user notices a post in their feed from an account they don't follow, they can simply click or tap on the three dot icon located in the upper right-hand corner of the specific post. This will open a drop-down menu.

However, if the post is an ad, this menu provides additional options. ... "Not interested in this ad," ... "Report ad" ... "Why this ad?"

You bet your ass that they are going to get rid of those options.

    Only a true genius could have taken that failing company and transformed it it into the criminally failing company that it is today.

    I wonder if this is a bug not a feature. Since, ya know, 90%(?) of the workforce was essentially forced out

    The bug is the feature. Firing 90% of the company doesn't just save you a ton of money, and doesn't just trim the fat or rot of a company. It removes any dissidents and skeptics who don't have total, unwavering, boot-licking loyalty. Even Musk fanboys were likely forced out just for questioning whether it was a good idea to fire 90% of them. The slightest hint of independent critical thinking is snuffed out by force, or leaves the company voluntarily when they see the writing on the wall, or they are merely unable to leave.

    What else could that maneuver possibly produce except a small army of sycophants?

    And then once you have those sycophants, it doesn't matter whether you make good or bad decisions, you will never ever be challenged on them. You don't have to worry about how your orders become reality or if you break any laws along the way, your gang of losers will make it happen and won't ask for a penny of overtime pay.

    Hanlon's Razor is dead, at least as applied to Musk, because the malice and stupidity are one and the same.

    EDIT: Consideration for H1B

    If you ask the people remaining on it, it's with a "t".
    If you ask everybody else...

    These days whenever there is a new change on Twitter's UI, I'm not sure if it's a bug or intentional feature.

    Later, Musk tweets that they were just doing to a test to collect data. Because they want to prove that having to label them is bad and destroys engagement.

    Someone ping me if this happens.
