Boo frickin’ hoo. Give these people a quarter.
He’s going to run it like SpaceX. He burns through people, uses them up and replaces them with new. I’ve been to a place where the SpaceX people in Texas hang out, there are no old people, they are all young.
“Elon broke me.”
I remember reading how “employees” would show up whenever, go have a workout, a nap, then free steak dinners. Maybe do some “work”. The people fired by Musk were deadbeats. Heaven forbid the boss expect someone to actually work.
Zero sympathy for Twitter employees.
Just my humble opinion.
“her forthcoming book”
Yeah, I stopped right there.
“fly to New York with his long-distance girlfriend, Alex, an OnlyFans star “
Wonder how that’s working out?
Oddly not a word in the article about the broken morale of the many, many more people seeing a stolen election, the installation of a Marxist government, and the steadfast internal destruction of America.
Blah blah blah blah blah. Far from being a “sinking ship”, Twitter has continued to operate just fine under Elon after firing 80% of the employees.
When you can get rid of 4 out of 5 people on the payroll and still operate without any major breakdowns, that tells you your headcount was grossly inflated and you had a lot of unproductive employees.

Arriving at Twitter the day after Elon arrived, I went to our floor’s free food area for my custom fruit smoothie enhanced with vitamins and also my special latte made with coffee beans flown in from Bora Bora this morning. Note to self, update Twitter’s procurement system for more beans tomorrow! Where was I? Oh yea, off to my morning’s free massage and sauna which I booked with the Twitter employee app just before it went to bed last night. After my session, I checked my email to discover that Elon was in the building and making life difficult for the few employees actually came to work. Oh look it’s time for my lunch! Will blog later after lunch, TaTa……
Translation: Work is hard and the twits never had to work before.
Aw.
Techies seem prone to being “wrecks”. I’ve noticed it here.
Oh! The huge manatee!!
The company was WAY overstaffed, as witness that it still runs fine with all of then gone.
[[“People were emotionally a wreck,”]]
Oh, is that what they are calling pansies these days? “People”?
[[Lin said. He paid for the flight and hotel himself.]]
The horror! All by himself? How did he ever weather the ordeal?
I hope President Trump will follow Elon’s example in January 2025.
that Musk dint have to rehire/go on a hiring jag was proof those he let go weren’t needed...
