I think I'd like to hear now from some X employees about how they think the Everything App™ is taking shape. Does the new CFO approve of recent developments? What about the EMEA Comms director? Is the VP for stakeholder engagement still happy to have this company on their CV?

RIP MTV thank you for not pivoting to vertical video
I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were:
MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles)
Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)
