Twitter is already built and in production.
Guess it is back to the FBI for them then....
Sounds like Elon wants to make money.
Nah, it’s to the IRS, making $40K a year as a GS7.
When you add this recent number of firings to the 3,700 he fired back in November, it looks like he plugged that hole and then some.
And by cleaning out the lazy latte crowd, he probably improved performance significantly for those who remained.
Improved the performance or got performance from those that remained?
I bet he improved morale substantially for those who were actually doing real work.
sounds about right...
it’s not a self driving car or self landing rocket or something...
Twitter now gives a blue checkmark to anybody willing to pay $5/mo for the service. I might sign up shortly for that.
Free Republic should do something like that. Charge a nominal monthly fee in exchange for a "checkmark" or some other recognition on their profile. Seems a small and insignificant thing but many people will pay it for the status symbol alone. I know I was motivated to pay $30/mo here to be in the "dollar a day club" but that seems to have fallen by the wayside.
Would certainly cut down on or eliminate the constant Freepathons.
I'm thinking there is a legal reason Free Republic can't do that however. Too bad.
That must be true. The essential ingredients for resentment in that regard are no longer present. If you have heat+fuel+oxygen=fire, take one of the three away and, emergency handled.
You bet. Big lift in performance and moral.
So once which took 7500 workers now require 1500 workers? Very interesting.... At $250,000 per worker (should be close when adding payroll cost in California), that’s a saving of 1.5 billion dollars a year. Nice job Elon 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder if Musk got rid of the free drinks and eats areas? Maybe throwing out the deadwood saved enough to let the productive continue to benefit from the free cappuccino, latte and whatever machines. Pretty sure the free wine took a hike.
With me in charge, you could run Twitters core business with 20 old white guys.
So what CNN.. how many engineers does SpaceX have or Tesla? 550 engineers for an already built platform seems like a lot.. Yes I am an IT engineer and manager.
What Twitter does isn’t too complicated. Even 550 engineers still seems like a lot.
I reckon Musk sold all the wine dispensers in the employee break room. Oh, the horror! Snowflakes melting for miles!
A couple of dozen geezers could handle it. I know a bunch of them.
