The average person from the midwest commenting about 150k as an excessive salary has no clue how expensive real cities are is what I find the funniest.

Sorry about that; I do try desperately to not make that mistake!

Building up a firm from scratch in an environment with no effective competitors and aided by govt subsidies and the climate movement is one thing.
My sympathies are firmly with the employees. A new boss comes in and fires folk and makes life very hard for the rest. As someone put it "The fact it would go from central town square for the world to 'will it work tomorrow?' is a big question," |

Of course I don't like seeing people loose jobs, however others such as Amazon are laying off people right and left as well.
What Musk has been doing with Twitter is beautiful. |

Hopefully Facebook/meta will be next, followed by sweeping restrictions on instagram, spapchat and tiktok. Give them the adult content rating they deserve. Get them out of the hands of our kids and fine those who have targeted the youth and the unsophisticated. More education in the classroom on what theses internet apps are doing to our young peoples developing minds.

Many here seem to have forgotten that Elon Musk was one of the founders of PayPal, and came from the Stanford University business startups culture. He's no stranger to dotcom and Silicon Valley culture.....

He is streamlining the company. The people who resigned were probably censorship liberals anyway. All he needs to keep are the agnostic engineers who don't have an ultra-liberal agenda. Anyone here who worked for big companies know only 20% of the workers do 80% of the work and I am being generous.

No one was working at twitter man. Name one thing which has been updated since 2010 on the app? They’ve promoted a culture of stagnation. Elon had to shake things up and get folks back in the office to get motivated |

I shake my head with what Meta is promoting with VR. Is the real world that bad? Why do we need an alternate universe to interact. |

Why is it a train wreck? Shortly after Twitter (…Musk) laid off workers, Amazon (…Bezos), Meta (…Zuckerberg), etc. laid off workers and Google is setting themselves up for massive layoffs as well. Musk isn't stupid.
Meta and Amazon laid off nearly three times as many employees as Twitter, yet, we focus solely on Musk's decision?!? Unnecessary meltdown much?!? The only reason people are up in arms over Musk is because they are upset over his acquisition. Last edited by Sedan_Clan; 11-20-2022 at 04:15 PM.. |

Amazon has something like 1.4M employees and Meta has over 70k. Twitter HAD 7k. You can't compare them based on the numbers laid off. That's just silly. Compare the layoffs and subsequent exodus at Twitter based on a % of workforce. Did Amazon, Google, and Meta put core revenue at risk with the layoffs? Did any of them leave critical departments completely unstaffed? A lot of people here defending WHY Musk came in and gutted the place. My train wreck comments were more directed at the HOW. |
