C’mon, Elon. Can’t you just make them all go into the office?

After all, as you say, if they don’t go into the office, they can pretend to work elsewhere.

You may be right..assuming the libs continue on Tweater. Only time will tell. My guess is somebody rich lefty starts a competitor that they all migrate to and Tweater looks like MySpace.

Well-if the delicate little flowers can’t handle intelligent debate, let them take their intolerance, tantrums and virtue signalling to a competitor with an echo chamber-I’m pretty sure there are enough mature human beings who can handle debate and different opinions to make a profit for Twit...

Sounds like a good first day goal for Elon, and that will get the attention of the leftovers.

Be sure to escort those being fired to the front gate and have local police there to keep the fired ones moving on to avoid blocking traffic outside the gates.

Only time will tell.
I certainly wouldn’t buy the stock until it shakes out.
I’ve been suspended from Tweater for years but can read tweets and my view is that a large majority of users are liberals.
Musk Tweater may wind up competing with Parler and Truth Social for the minority.

If he does, I bet FB will have a hiring fest.

Just moving out of San Fran to a Midwest or southern state will do it.

That would leave the company with just a skeleton crew of just over 2,000 employees, which experts say would make it difficult for the social media company to tamp down on what it deems to be 'misinformation.'

Isn't that the point? Staff would no longer be needed to police speech on the platform, based on Musk's intent to stop doing that...

Honestly if I’m Elon Musk, I would relocate the headquarters to Mumbai, India. And hire new workers there. The remaining 2,000 workers in the U.S. will just keep the nuts and bolts of the company in place.
