As George Kittle’s football career has grown over the years, so has relationship with his wife, Claire Kittle.

The pair met during their freshman year at The University of Iowa in 2012, at which George played for the school’s football team and Claire played for their women’s basketball team. The two graduated in 2016 and George was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers the following year.

One year after making his NFL debut, George popped the question to Claire in 2018.

“I had this big trick. I told her that the 49ers were doing a couples photoshoot for the whole Niners,” George said in an interview with NFL Films in November 2023. Despite getting injured during a preseason game the night before, he pushed through the pain to get down on one knee.

The two continue to show their love for each other before each of George’s NFL games. “We have a pretty good pregame routine down,” Claire told NFL Films in November 2023. “He comes over and says hi to his mom, dad me, and you can just tell, like, the energy and he’s just, like, ready to freaking go. It’s so fun to be able to watch him in that moment do what he loves.”

We’re all aware of the cliché that moving is one of the most stressful life tasks you can do – and unfortunately for many of us, this cliché usually proves to be true. As such, a checklist for moving into a new house can be enormously helpful, signaling the most important tasks to tick off during the entire process and taking the added stress of remembering everything yourself away.

Moving house – whether you’re buying, renting, moving across the country, or relocating locally – is a life step full of lots of mini tasks. Not only are you reckoning with the emotional weight of leaving one home for another, but you also have to consider the logistic components of moving too, such as packing, changing your address, cleaning and redirecting your mail.

Enter the ultimate moving house checklist. Ticking these home organizing ideas off of your to-do list in the weeks (and months) leading up to moving day will ensure that you can rest easy knowing that you’ve covered all the essentials – and on time, too. With tips and guidance from moving and organizing experts, this is your foolproof checklist for moving into a new home.

Checklist for moving into a new house

Though there will be some tasks specific to your move, most of the below items on this moving house checklist are things that every mover will need to complete, meaning they’re important to take note of. However, if any don’t apply, simply tweak the list to your requirements.

As soon as the move is confirmed

1. Begin to declutter

Though it may seem too early, as soon as contracts have been exchanged and you have your move-in date, it’s a great time to get started with your moving house checklist. And the very first step, experts explain, is to begin decluttering your home, for a clean slate in your new property.

‘As soon as you know you’re going to be moving, start removing anything you don’t want or need,’ professional organizer Felice Cohen said. ‘Take it one section at a time, and as you go through items, ask yourself, ‘Do I want this taking up space in my new place?’

Though it may seem overwhelming, it pays to do this now in more ways than one. Mary Jo Contello, owner of Organized by MJ, said, ‘You don’t want to pay someone to pack and move items you do not want. Consider that you should only plan to move items that you need, want, and that fit, to the next place.’ If you struggle with getting rid of things, perhaps these decluttering tips can help – or these insights into how professional organizers declutter to move.

2. Take measurements of your new home

As long as the current tenants/owners don’t mind, this is a great time to measure up your new home to make sure that your existing furniture fits into its relevant room. Measure the space for the most essential pieces first, such as beds, wardrobes, sofas and desks.

And if you find that some things don’t fit, you should have plenty of time to order new pieces before moving day.

Two months before your move

3. Organize and schedule movers

Two months out from a move is a very reasonable amount of notice to give if you’re looking to hire a professional removal company for your relocation. Ian A. Imlach, VP of Business Development at moving company Imlach Group, said, ‘Get estimates from a few different moving companies (if you’re wondering how much it costs to hire movers, it may not be as pricey as you think).’ This is especially important during the summer months, as many movers are booked out a month or more.” 

Or, if you’re keen to move yourself, now is the time to figure out how much van space you will need, and start getting quotes for the necessary moving vehicle.

However, Ryan Carrigan, CEO of MoveBuddha, explained that hiring movers can take a lot of stress off of your plate. ‘My biggest tip for people who are looking to move is to be willing to get a professional, especially for a larger job – as they will understand how to make the process quicker.’

When discussing options with moving companies, be sure to give them an accurate picture of the size of your current and future property, as well as the number of items you need to move, to avoid being caught out price-wise.

4. Start packing non-essential items

It might seem too soon to begin packing, but squirreling away any non-essential items now will be something you thank yourself for in the days before your moving date.

Life organizer Debra Baida, founder of Liberated Spaces, suggests tackling ‘infrequently used items, and things you don’t plan to use before the move.’ This might include items such as ‘books, special occasion tableware, photographs and memorabilia, seasonal clothing (that will be out of season when you move), and holiday decorations.’

If you want, she even suggests taking down decorative items at this time, to really get ahead of schedule. ‘If you are comfortable with visible shelves, and wall space looking a little more spartan than usual, this is a good time to pack decorative household items, tchotchkes, and artwork,’ says Debra.

5. Book your annual leave

Many of us will need to take at least some time off to deal with a house move, so now is the time to request that annual leave in order to make sure everyone involved has enough notice. If your move-in date falls in the middle of the week, consider that you may need more than one day away from work, especially if you are moving cross-country.

6. Start planning how to use up opened items

Try to avoid taking any already-open items to your new property, especially when it comes to food or toiletries. 

Not only will this give you less ‘stuff’ to move, but it’ll also save you from any accidental spills during the move itself. Felice explained that; ‘Toiletries and food can spill, leak or attract insects,’ which isn’t ideal as you settle into a new home! This might mean finally using up that old facial serum or the packet of lentils that have been sitting in your kitchen for months.

1 month before your move

7. Order any essential moving supplies

If you’re wondering how much it costs to move, there’s no doubt that it’s a pricey process. And part of that cost comes in making sure you have everything you need to actually pack your items. At this point, make sure you have all the essentials to hand, such as packing tape, sturdy moving boxes, sticky labels, permanent markers for writing onto said labels and bubble wrap – and order them in if not.

Emily Speed, professional organizer and owner of The Organized Home Mindset shared one of her top packing tricks, suggesting that you invest in clear bins instead of boxes for regularly used items.

‘Clear boxes will enable you to locate items quickly, and it will look and feel less overwhelming in the new space when it comes to unpacking.’

8. Make a list of people to notify of your move

With just four weeks until you’re out of your current property, it’s important to put together a list of people/organizations who need to know that you’re moving. This might include your workplace, your bank, household service providers (such as gardeners or cleaners), and any organizations you or your family might be a part of, such as sports clubs. 

You don’t need to actually ‘tell’ these people just yet, but putting together a list will be infinitely helpful for you to refer to closer to your moving date. However, you may want to inform any family members and friends you haven’t yet told now, to ensure they don’t deliver any further posts to you!

9. Start packing more of your items

Three to four weeks before moving is the ideal time to seriously begin your packing process. Sarah Schier, the owner of the home-organizing company Beautiful Life Creative Organizing, admits that while it may feel early, doing so is incredibly helpful when tackling such a big job. 

‘Starting early gives you sufficient time to sort through your belongings, declutter, and pack efficiently without feeling rushed or stressed. It also allows you to create an inventory and label your boxes properly, making unpacking easier at your new home,’ she said.

Go room-by-room, packing less important items first, and more of your daily essentials as your move gets closer.

She helps busy professionals and families to create beautifully organized homes and specializes in Relocation Management, where she oversees each client’s entire move, including unpacking and organizing their new home.

10. Put together a moving binder

Of vital importance in your moving house checklist is arranging all of the relevant documents that moving requires. As such, Ian advises that you should ‘definitely keep a binder or digital file of all essential documents – staying organized is a big factor in keeping the stress down.’

Assemble all relevant paperwork, such as insurance papers, contracts, an inventory if you are renting your current property, and any useful receipts. You never know when you might need them all! 

This binder can also hold all of your important paperwork for your new home when you get there, such as your first bills, and any mail from the former tenants/owners that you may need to forward.

2 weeks before your move

11. Label boxes according to your new home

With packing well underway, Felice explains that now is the time to make sure your boxes are labeled accurately, so you can easily locate any items before moving and after.

Her top tip? ‘Label the box of the room the item is going to, not from. This minimizes confusion, and ensures that heavy items are moved only once.’ She also suggests that it pays to be cautious with your labeling, especially if you’ll be without your belongings for a time. She said, ‘Don’t write “valuable” or words like “TV” on boxes – this could invite theft. Just write “fragile”, instead.’

12. Pack kitchen items you don’t use regularly

(Image credit: Herringbone Kitchens)

Mary Jo explained that ‘the kitchen typically takes the most time to pack’, so putting away items you don’t use as often two weeks ahead of time is a valuable forward-planning tip.

And it’s likely that there are plenty of items in this room that you don’t use on a day-to-day basis. Sarah elaborated that this may include ‘infrequently used appliances, special occasion dishes, and extra kitchenware,’ as well as deep cleaning items, or bottles of alcohol.

13. Investigate home insurance

Take a moment to organize your home insurance policy at this point – speak to your current supplier to see whether you can move your policy over to your new property, or whether you’ll need to take out a new one with a different supplier for your area.

You’ll also want to make sure you are covered in your new home from day one.

14. Move items into storage if necessary

If for any reason your move requires putting items into storage, now is the time to do so! 

Not only will moving these items out of your home create more room for packing, but it’ll also give you more headspace to consider which items are actually moving along with you, and which can be thrown out/donated beforehand.

One week before your move

15. Pack important items you want to keep an eye on

There are many precious items that you’ll want to keep track of as you move between homes, to avoid damages, losses, or even the potential for theft. Because of this, pack these with just a week to go, so you know where they are at all times.

In fact, Sarah even advises, ‘Pack important documents, jewelry, and valuable items separately from everything else, and transport them yourself for added security.’ If you’re planning to move any houseplants, you may also want to keep these separate.

16. Box up those remaining items

The final week before your move is the time to pack away the rest of your household items. To break this down, this means boxing up almost all of your kitchen items, aside from the basics that you’ll need to prepare meals – such as saucepans, a range of utensils, a few glasses and mugs, and some cutlery. 

This is also the time to focus on your wardrobe, Sarah said. ‘With a week to go, except for a few outfits, pack the majority of your wardrobe, keeping in mind the season and weather conditions at your destination.’ See our guide for how to fold shirts to ensure yours are kept in tip-top condition during the move.

And when it comes to the bathroom? ‘Pack most of your toiletries, leaving out only the essentials for personal hygiene in the days leading up to the move, such as toothpaste, shampoos, and soap,’ she advised.

The day before your move

17. Put together a bag of essentials

The days after your big move will probably be slightly chaotic. As such, one brilliant tip for your checklist for moving into a new house is to pack a suitcase containing only the key items you’ll need in the days after getting settled into your new home.

‘Pack everyone’s pajamas, toothbrushes, bed sheets, blankets, pillows and a couple of outfits, to make the first night and next morning less stressful,’ Felice said. You might even want to pack things that you’ll need in the days following the move, such as laptops, make-up and medications, to ensure that anything important is easily accessible without wading through a mass of boxes!

18. Action your change of address

Remember that list you jotted down weeks ago as part of your moving house checklist? Now is the time to action it, and notify all relevant parties of your change of address. 

For example, get in touch with your new doctor’s office, optometrists, gym, and your new town council. Notify neighbors of your imminent departure too – not only to say your goodbyes but also so that they can collect any mail you might miss.

19. Clean your new home

(Image credit: Getty Images)

With everything packed away in boxes, it’s the perfect time to clean what will largely be a clear, open space. 

Take a few hours to scrub down what will soon be your former home, in order to ensure everything is in as good a condition as possible for its new tenants or owners. This is especially vital when renting, given that tenants are required to return the property to the original state they received it in.

FAQs

What is the first thing to do when moving?

Though this may be different for lots of people, many of the experts Homes & Gardens spoke to insisted that the first step when a house move is confirmed (aside from signing legal contracts!) is to declutter your current space.

Sarah said, “This is my number one tip for everyone! Take the opportunity to declutter and donate or discard items you no longer need. Moving is a great time to start fresh. Don’t waste time and money by moving things you’re going to end up getting rid of in the new house.”

It’s also one of the first things you should do when you know you are moving, as it’s likely to be one of the longest processes. Throwing things out can be difficult, so getting started with it as your first job should give you plenty of time to get it done, pre-move.

How early to start packing for a move

It’s subjective, but most organization professionals agree that you probably don’t need to physically start putting items into boxes until a couple of weeks before your move-in date. 

‘The perfect move can be planned out about two months before your move-in date, but you don’t need to start packing until you are 2-3 weeks out, in my opinion,’ Ryan said. However, Sarah suggests getting started 4-6 weeks before your move-in date – so there is no one right answer.

There are pros and cons to both. Packing earlier means there will be no last-minute rush. It may also be a beneficial option if you are generally kept very busy with day-to-day life. However, packing six weeks ahead of your move also means you run the risk of being hindered by boxes as you continue to live in your home. Keeping items in their place until two weeks before your move will mean fewer interruptions like this, but will also require a faster packing process. The choice is yours!

How do I pack my house for moving?

The key to packing your home up in a way that isn’t too overwhelming is to take everything a step at a time. It can help to consider packing in this way:

• Go room-by-room: This will help to ensure you tackle packing with a measured approach. ‘Focusing on one room at a time will help maintain organization, and prevent items from getting mixed up,’ Sarah said. Why not start with rooms you use less (such as basements, offices, or guest rooms), moving onto essential rooms like your bedroom and kitchens, last?
• Package similar items together: It can also be helpful to ensure your moving boxes contain similar items, to minimize confusion when you get to your new home. Don’t be tempted to lump your office supplies in with your clothing, for example! As you’ll only be darting from room to room when you move, to unpack everything in the right place.

Moving home isn’t a quick process, but there are ways to make the entire thing easier on you and your family. 

One of our favorite additional tips? Pack items in the container they already live in. Christina Giaquinto, professional organizer and brand ambassador of Modular Closets, suggests for example, “Leave your clothes on hangers! This will help you easily move your clothes from the old house to the new house.” 

The same applies to other clothes – if they already exist in organizers, for example, don’t be afraid to pack them this way. It’ll make unpacking much simpler!

Am 27. Oktober 2022 machte der Unternehmer und ehemals reichste Mann der Welt, Elon Musk, Schlagzeilen, indem er unglaubliche 44 Milliarden Dollar aus dem Geld anderer Leute investierte, um Twitter zu erwerben.

Die beliebte Mikroblogging-Social-Media-Plattform kämpft seit 2019 um Gewinne.

Grundsätzlich glaube ich nicht, dass jemand Twitter besitzen oder betreiben sollte. Es möchte ein öffentliches Gut auf Protokollebene sein, kein Unternehmen. Elon ist jedoch die einzige Lösung, der ich vertraue, um das Problem zu lösen, dass es sich um ein Unternehmen handelt. Ich vertraue seiner Mission, das Licht des Bewusstseins zu erweitern.

– Jack (@jack) 26. April 2022

Anlässlich des einjährigen Jubiläums von Twitter-Gründer Jack Dorsey, der das erste Übernahmeangebot von Elon Musk öffentlich unterstützte, haben wir uns entschieden, eine endgültige Zeitleiste der Beziehung von Elon Musk zu Twitter zusammenzustellen.

Begleiten Sie uns auf einer Reise durch die Schlüsselmomente, die zu diesem bedeutenden Meilenstein in der Technologiewelt geführt haben.

Wo alles begann

Elon Musk erstellte seinen Twitter-Account im Juni 2009, als er ungefähr 38 Jahre alt war.

Ein Archiv von Wayback Machine vom 1. August 2009 gibt einen Einblick in die Anfänge seines Kontos und enthüllt die ersten 20 Konten, denen er folgte.

Bildnachweis: Internet Archive Wayback Machine

Sie können eine Mischung aus Meme-Accounts, Star Trek-Schauspielern, Journalisten und einer Handvoll anderer sehen.

Einige dieser Accounts gehören vielleicht zu den empfohlenen, aber selbst in diesem frühen Stadium können wir bereits Elons vielseitigen Geschmack beim Kuratieren seiner Twitter-Timeline erkennen.

Die ersten 20 Accounts, denen Musk folgte, waren: PeoplePETS, Wil Wheaton, Tony Hawk, Michael Ian Black, Google, Jack Gray, Kimberly Cole, Cake Wrecks, LeVar Burton, 50 Cent, Digital Royalty, Terry Moran, SomeEcards, I Can Has Cheezburger, BreakingNews, ReadWrite, Tim O’Reilly, Steven Johnson, Kevin Rose und PoliticalNotes.

Elons erster Tweet

Zu Elons Ehre – sein erster Tweet vom 4. Juni 2010 ist immer noch live. Seltsamerweise scheint er die Benachrichtigungen zu diesem Beitrag noch nicht stummgeschaltet zu haben, da er ab 2021 immer noch auf den Thread geantwortet hat.

Bildnachweis: Internet Archive Wayback Machine

Richtig, in Elon Musks erstem Post auf Twitter ging es darum, wie sich jemand auf Twitter für ihn ausgab. Sicherlich wird der Identitätswechsel auf Twitter in Zukunft kein Problem für ihn werden (aber ich greife vor.)

Es ist auch erwähnenswert, dass er zu dieser Zeit nur 414 Anhänger hatte – wirklich ein Mann des Volkes!

Elons Sinn für „Humor“ verfestigt sich

Bis zum 9. Juni 2013 – Elon hatte eine kleine Armee von Anhängern gewonnen, aber glücklicherweise nur 713 Mal getwittert, eine respektable Rate von einem neuen Post alle 1,5 Tage.

Dies liegt wahrscheinlich daran, dass Twitter erst Ende 2017 Thread-Tweets gestartet hat.

Bildnachweis: Internet Archive Wayback Machine

Der Witz selbst ist ein Scherz auf CS101-Niveau über das Transmission Control Protocol, aber er legt wirklich den Grundstein für seinen „Comedy“-Stil, den Rolling Stone in einem ausführlich berichteten Artikel brillant dargelegt hat.

Eine bemerkenswerte Sache an der Ausgabe von @ElonMusk vom Juni 2013 ist sein Avatar. Er hält eine Geige, möglicherweise aus Epic Bacon-Gründen, aber man kann sich nicht sicher sein.

Musk hat nie über das Instrument getwittert. Eine umgekehrte Bildsuche bringt diese unglaubliche AliExpress-Auflistung hervor:

Elon trifft eine Milli

Irgendwann um den 9. Oktober 2014 herum erreichte Elon Musk einen vielversprechenden Meilenstein.

Er schloss sich einem Elite-Rang von Benutzern an, als er seinen millionsten Follower gewann. Nicht, dass Sie danach gefragt hätten, aber laut Guinness-Buch der Rekorde war Ashton Kutcher im Jahr 2009 der erste, der „zwei Kommas“ erreichte.

Bildnachweis: Internet Archive Wayback Machine

Auf den ersten Blick scheint es, als hätte Elon Musk ein neues Blatt aufgeschlagen. Sein Avatar zeigt jetzt ein professionelles Kopfbild, und sein jüngster Beitrag feiert einen bedeutenden Meilenstein: Tesla-Fahrzeuge haben insgesamt 500 Millionen Meilen weltweit gefahren.

Aber dann scrollen Sie nach unten zu seinen beiden früheren Timeline-Tweets, die immer noch live sind und …

Elons Ära

In den nächsten Jahren wuchs Musks Einfluss, als er das Erwidern und Simulieren auf eine neue Ebene brachte, während er seine Unternehmen (und seinen persönlichen Reichtum) aufbaute.

Im Zeitraum von Oktober 2014 bis März 2022 stieg auch seine Follower-Zahl auf 75,8 Millionen.

Wenn Sie in der Stimmung sind, in den Abgrund zu starren, bekommen Sie ein ziemlich gutes Gefühl für Musks Posting-Stil in dieser Zeit, wenn Sie durch die Hunderte von Malen scrollen, in denen er auf einen Tweet nur mit dem „“-Emoji geantwortet hat.

Quelle: Twitter

Eine sehr wichtige Sache geschah während dieser Zeit. Am 7. Mai 2018 twitterte Elon „Rococo Basilisk“ in Anspielung auf das Gedankenexperiment von Roko’s Basilisk, und infolgedessen fing er an, mit Grimes auszugehen.

Der auslösende Vorfall

Am 20. März 2022 wurde die rechtsextreme christliche „Satire“-Seite The Babylon Bee in eine 12-stündige Auszeit versetzt, nachdem sie einen transphoben Artikel über Dr. Rachel Levine, die stellvertretende US-Gesundheitsministerin, veröffentlicht hatte.

Babylon Bee-Redakteur Seth Dillon weigerte sich, den Tweet zu entfernen, und schließlich sperrte Twitter den Account „dauerhaft“.

Wir löschen nichts. Wahrheit ist keine Hassrede. Wenn der Preis, die Wahrheit zu sagen, der Verlust unseres Twitter-Kontos ist, dann sei es so.

– Seth Dillon (@SethDillon) 20. März 2022

Was hat das mit Elon Musk zu tun, fragen Sie sich vielleicht?

Nun, während Musks letztendlichem Twitter-Kauf im Oktober 2022 kamen Textgespräche zwischen dem späteren „Head Twit“ und seiner Ex-Frau Talulah Riley ans Licht.

Es stellt sich heraus, dass die englische Schauspielerin ihrem milliardenschweren Ex am 24. März 2022 eine SMS geschrieben hat, um ihn zu ermutigen, „Twitter zu kaufen und es zu löschen“, weil „Amerika verrückt wird“, wie bewiesen wurde, dass der Satire-Account keine Hassreden auf Twitter posten darf.

In derselben Woche, am 26. März 2022, forderte der @WSBChairman-Account Elon auf, Twitter zu kaufen und das Logo in Doge zu ändern – was er schließlich im April 2023 tat.

Das Vorspiel

Was als müßige Spekulation begann, verwandelte sich schnell in Elons ersten Pitch an die Investoren von Twitter. Am 4. April kaufte Musk 9,2 % der Twitter-Aktien, 73,5 Millionen Aktien, für etwa 3 Milliarden US-Dollar und twitterte:

Einen Tag später, am 5. April 2022, kündigte der damalige Twitter-CEO Parag Agrawal an, dass der Kauf Musk einen Sitz im Aufsichtsrat verschaffen würde.

Er ist sowohl ein leidenschaftlicher Anhänger als auch ein intensiver Kritiker des Service, der genau das ist, was wir auf @Twitter und in der Vorstandsetage brauchen, um uns langfristig stärker zu machen. Willkommen Elon!

– Parag Agrawal (@paraga) 5. April 2022

Am 10. April 2022 gab Agrawal den Ton für die nächsten Monate an und gab bekannt, dass Musk nicht in den Vorstand eintreten werde.

Der Antrag

Am 14. April 2022 – nur 20 Tage, nachdem Riley Musk eine SMS geschrieben hatte, veröffentlichte Elon, dass er tatsächlich ein Angebot zum Kauf von Twitter gemacht hatte.

Musk bot 54,20 US-Dollar pro Aktie (verstehst du … 420, wie die Unkrautnummer?), was einem Barkauf von 43,4 Milliarden US-Dollar entspricht.

Er begann Threads über Meinungsfreiheit zu posten und darüber, wie ein von Elon Musk betriebenes Twitter ein offenes Forum für Diskurse und Gespräche sein würde, an dem sogar seine Hasser beteiligt sind:

Ich hoffe, dass selbst meine schlimmsten Kritiker auf Twitter bleiben, denn das bedeutet Meinungsfreiheit

– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 25. April 2022

Der Vorstand von Twitter widersetzte sich zunächst dem Angebot und plante, eine „Giftpille“ einzusetzen, um die Übernahme zu stoppen, aber schließlich war Musk derjenige, der Zweifel zeigte.

Am 13. Mai 2022 sagte er, der Deal sei „vorübergehend ausgesetzt“, weil Elon der Behauptung von Twitter nicht glaubte, dass Spam-/Fake-Konten „tatsächlich weniger als 5 % der Nutzer ausmachen“.

Er würde es wissen, denn wie wir damals schrieben, waren fast 23 % von Elons 93 Millionen Anhängern falsch.

Der Twitter-Deal wird vorübergehend ausgesetzt, bis Details vorliegen, die die Berechnung unterstützen, dass Spam-/Fake-Konten tatsächlich weniger als 5 % der Benutzer ausmachenhttps://t.co/Y2t0QMuuyn

– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 13. Mai 2022

Elons Behauptungen, dass Bots und/oder gefälschte Spam-Konten eines der Hauptfunktionsprobleme bei Twitter seien, haben sich bis heute fortgesetzt, wie dieser kürzlich veröffentlichte Tweet zeigt, in dem die Funktionen von Twitter Blue angepriesen werden.

In den kommenden Wochen wird Twitter Antworten priorisieren nach:

1. Personen, denen Sie folgen
2. Verifizierte Konten
3. Nicht verifizierte Konten

Verifizierte Konten sind 1000-mal schwieriger von Bot- und Trollarmeen zu spielen.

In dem alten Sprichwort steckt große Weisheit: „Du bekommst, wofür du bezahlst.“

– Elon Musk (@elonmusk) 18. März 2023

Dieses sinkende Gefühl

In den folgenden Monaten ging es beständig hin und her. Elon schimpfte weiter über Bot-Armeen und gefälschte Konten und Twitter rief seine Stall-Taktik auf.

Am 12. Juli 2022 verklagte Twitter Musk, um ihn zum Abschluss des Deals zu zwingen.

Twitter hat eine Klage beim Delaware Court of Chancery eingereicht, um Elon Musk für seine vertraglichen Verpflichtungen zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen.

– Bret Taylor (@btaylor) 12. Juli 2022

Am 26. Oktober 2022 erhielt die Twitter-Zentrale in San Francisco ein unerwartetes Sanitär-Upgrade. Elon Musk gab bekannt, dass er die Social-Media-Plattform auf die normalste Art und Weise gekauft hat.

Oh warte, nein hat er nicht. Er ging in die Firma, die er gerade zugesagt hatte, für 44 Milliarden Dollar mit einem verdammten Waschbecken zu kaufen. Ein ganzer Arsch sinkt.

Diese Porzellan-Waschwanne war vorausschauender, als wir damals dachten – in den sechs Monaten, seit Elon die soziale Plattform gekauft hat, haben wir beobachtet, wie die Bewertung, der Ruf und die Funktionalität von Twitter erheblich „sinken“.

Die Herrschaft von König Musk

Das bringt uns ungefähr auf den neuesten Stand, wie wir zu diesem Punkt gekommen sind. Ich werde ein paar von Elons „Errungenschaften“ seit der Übernahme von Twitter blitzschnell aufzählen.

Das ist also das meiste, soweit ich es finden konnte. Ich bin mir sicher, dass ich viele wirklich gute (schlechte) Sachen verpasst habe.

So oder so, da haben Sie es: eine umfassende Zeitleiste von Elon Musks Zeit auf (und bei) Twitter. Ich werde eine lange Dusche nehmen und darüber nachdenken, was mich zu diesem Moment geführt hat, und mich fragen, ob es das alles wert war.

Haben Sie irgendwelche Gedanken dazu? Schreiben Sie uns unten in die Kommentare oder tragen Sie die Diskussion auf Twitter oder Facebook weiter.

Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma get engaged at Disneyland

Rebel Wilson delighted fans after announcing her engagement to Ramona Agruma in a sweet Instagram post this week.

The Pitch Perfect star shared the happy news with two adorable pictures posted to her social media account as the couple enjoyed a trip to Disneyland.

Rebel and Ramona posed in matching pink and white striped sweaters with navy blue hearts as they showed off the statement diamond ring that adorned Ramona’s finger.

The pair had a whirlwind romance and even kept their relationship under wraps for months before finally confirming the news on social media.

In May 2022, the Bridesmaids actress alluded to her new relationship as she opened up about her attempts to get back on the dating scene.

To celebrate the news of the couple’s engagement, Mirror took a look at their relationship timeline…

Both attended Vanity Fair’s Oscar party(GETTY)

The How To Be Single actress was first spotted with Ramona at the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers in January last year.

Two months later, Rebel invited Ramona to Vanity Fair’s Oscar party.

Both looked otherworldly in sparkling floor-length dresses as they posed side by side.

No one commented on the nature of their relationship at the time.

May and June 2022

She confirmed the relationship in June 2022

Rebel briefly dated Jacob Busch before finding love with Ramona.

The actress began dating Jacob, who is part of the wealthy Anheuser-Busch family, between September 2020 and February 2021.

After the split, she kept her love life out of the spotlight until early 2022.

“I wanted to consciously push myself to go out with some people and have this experience that I know isn’t normal, but it really helped me figure out what I like and don’t like,” she shared u up ? Podcast in May.

A month later, Rebel and Ramona went official with their relationship on Instagram.

“I thought I was looking for a Disney prince… but maybe all this time I really needed a Disney princess #loveislove,” Rebel wrote on her page.

Summer 2022

After going Instagram official, the duo shared glimpses of their relationship with posts on social media.

They even enjoyed several vacations together, with the Is’t It Romantic star previously sharing a snap of the two enjoying their time in Italy.

The couple looked happier than ever, and Rebel captioned the shot: “ciao bellas.”

The snap was inundated with comments from Rebel’s famous friends, with Paris Hilton typing, “So happy for you love!” while Vas J Morgan commented on a series of red heart emojis.

At the time, an insider told Us Weekly that they “had a great time with friends” during their summer vacation.

October and November 2022

Rumors of an engagement began to spread(Rebel Wilson/Instagram)

Rumors of an engagement began circulating in October when Rebel wore a massive diamond ring to the annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles.

Her outing came after sending fans into a frenzy when she shared a loved-up snap with Ramona, with the actress wearing the diamond ring in the picture.

A few weeks later, a source claimed, “They were making out in a corner telling everyone how excited they are to be engaged.”

It wasn’t long before the couple shocked the world when Rebel announced that she had become a mother through a surrogate.

She shared an adorable photo of her daughter, Royce Lillian, and spoke about the “love she has for her.”

“I am beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, who was born via surrogate last week,” she said.

“I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she is a beautiful wonder! I am forever grateful to everyone involved (you know who you are), this took years…but I wanted to give a special thank you to my beautiful surrogate mother who carried and gave birth to her with such grace and care.

“Thank you for helping me raise my own family, it’s a great gift. The BEST gift!!”

Rebel opened up about her relationship with Ramona, admitting that her friend’s family has yet to fully accept the couple’s relationship.

She spoke openly about the positivity she felt from her family after coming out to them, but also revealed that Ramona’s family wasn’t as open.

“My whole family was just amazing,” she gushed to Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne on their Life Uncut podcast.

However, the Pitch Perfect star then revealed their relationship had proved more difficult for her partner’s 38-year-old family.

“Ramona’s family wasn’t that tolerant,” she added. “And so, in many ways, it was a lot harder for her to have to break the news publicly.

“She’s not in the public eye with her, it’s much harder for her. It’s so sad to see what happened to her family about this. Hopefully people will change their attitude towards things.”

This week, the Hollywood star announced her engagement to Ramona on Instagram.

Rebel and Ramona appeared blissfully in the post, with beautiful pink and white flowers surrounding them in bouquets in crystal vases on two matching pedestals on either side of the pair, and petals all over the floor around them.

Rebel captioned the post: “Thanks @tiffanyandco for the stunning ring and to Bob Iger and the incredible team at Disneyland @disneyweddings for this magical surprise!”
