Cloud computing is a way for businesses to access extra computational resources over the internet. Without it, the internet as we know it would malfunction.
With the Twitter limits today, I think we are already seeing the fallout begin.
It took me 3 minutes of slow loading to get this and this.
It’s been over half an hour now and I still have a blank twitter page, what if today is the day twitter actually goes down.
When I first heard all of this I thought it was just a ridiculous rumour. Out of all the things Elon has done this probably surprises me the most. Google is probably one of a handful of entities that he can’t push around.
They want the money or its a sunk cost. Very few companies can afford to say no to billions of dollars and someone like Google just has to push a button in order to pull out of the deal, there’s no aftermath to clean up. On the other hand, you have someone like their office landlord which will have to put in a lot of work to find new tenants and clean up the property. They won’t be so willing to cut ties.

I’m surprised any other entities let him push them around? What is actually in it for anyone to do anything for this stupid waste of carbon and water?
