Hope Elon has a taste tester for his coffee.

For starters, he may be firing STAFF, or they may be leaving of their own accord, BUT the Socialist Dopes that use Twatter, much like the Socialist Dopes over at DU, WILL stick around to make endless trouble. They have nowhere else to go and nothing else to do...from Mom’s Basement.

*SMIRK*

President in Exile Trump? PLEASE take notes! When you win in 2024, fire every last ONE of them in the White House, FUMIGATE the place, ESPECIALLY the DOJ and re-hire from the BEST and BRIGHTEST CONSERVATIVES in each of our STATES!

Absolutely NO ‘insiders’ other than Melania. That is all. :)

Entities like the BBC should only have accounts there is the can PROVE assertions like Trump is pushing misinformation.

Media entities should have to pass some sort of test for truth.

Good point!   He definitely is a "different kind of billionaire" (at least based on my very limited knowledge of billionaires).

The India tech mafia in Silicon Valley is far left, from the elitist castes in India and they promote each other and discriminate against Indians from lower castes. Good riddance.

That’s right. And ask just about any person in retail.....they are the very worse customers. Demanding and obnoxious.

>>Has anyone discovered yet why Musk was carrying the bathroom sink around?

From the article:
In business parlance, “kitchen sinking” means taking radical action at a company.

"One of my managers had an expression: 'They who are not fired with enthusiasm will be pretty soon.'"

That's a good one.

After seeing videos on Fox tonight of Twitter employees basically just bumming around, doing nothing productive on the job, one of my former bosses had a saying that also seems to fit those Twitter workers (before the "fired with enthusiasm" part comes about).   He used to come along, and say, "Working hard, or hardly working?"

But Twitter is critical to civilization and humanity going forward. If we don’t all communicate with this app, that Musk owns, humanity is doomed! Can’t make this up, someone coming at this with humility actually wrote that.

Vijaya Gadde, the head of legal policy, trust, and safety was also fired

Multiple outlets reported that Gadde played a central role in the Trump ban decision....

Depending on what they’re assigned to, a lot of IT work is actually just monitoring things and looks like ‘doing nothing’.

However, if they’re customer service reps and they’re doing nothing....

LOL yes.

IF Musk fulfills his promise and restores Trump’s account, I will create one and follow him. Provided of course that Trump WANTS to return.
