i’ll stop reporting on the twitter dumpster fire when it stops delivering absolutely fucking BONKERS news, but:

can we talk about how a fake-but-verified twitter account for pharma giant eli lilly started a domino effect that tanked their fucking stock by billions of dollars

the stock for their competitors novo nordisk and sanofi is tanking too

again, to reiterate: billions of dollars

elon you stupid, silly cunt

omg

not just ‘billions of dollars’

$16 billion specifically

Tweet from verified user Alejandra Caraballo that reads: "A single tweet from a verified impersonation account caused Eli Lilly to lose $16 billion in market cap. Tweets and news cycles can move markets. While I don't think anyone will shed a tear for Eli Lilly, this demonstrates how important social media safety is to companies."ALT

imagine getting fucking nuked like this by ONE TWEET

I can’t remember which company it was, but there was a guy who pretended to be a representative and went on the news with a fake apology for the horrible things the company did, which then raised awareness and tanked their stock prices. Anyway, this is that but multiple times over 48 hours.

i am fully invested in the dumpster fire going on with twitter. like holy shit this is fantastic
