Elon Cleaning House

Elon: "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

 

Yes, it is totally normal and healthy for big companies to lose 75% of their employees.

 

Here's the thing, though. More users, less ad money, $1 Billion in interest alone, and no one around keep the company running ... it's kind of bad, actually.

Twitter's problem isn't users, it's not being able to make money off the users ...

 

He seems to be taking it hard..

 

I received an e-mail warning from Norton on Tuesday about Twitter Blue Accounts getting hacked.

 

I’m sure you’ll get that DM soon asking for clues and pointers.

 

Do you really think I could have done worse? Why don't you chip in $20 billion and we'll offer to take if off his hands at half price, I bet together we last at least 2 or 3 months before we completely destroy it. I'll even let you carry the toilet in on your first day ... for symbolism.

 

As long as the DAU continues to rise, advertisers will come.

 

Twitter officially blowing up

Twitter Employees Locked Out as Elon Musk Reportedly Fears 'Sabotage'

estimates are 75% of the remaining 3700 employees have opted out.

Time to fire up some up some Doors or Talking Heads Tunes

 

Damn ... now the ones left are going to have to work 240 hours a week. It keeps getting worse.

 

Well that’s pretty much the story of his life. Of course that’s how he thinks it happens.

 

Elon Musk told Twitter staff in a late-night email they must commit to his “extremely hardcore” vision for the company or they will be laid-off. The email, which Insider has seen, was sent at midnight Wednesday California time. It told staff they need to work “long hours at a high intensity” in order to “build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0.”

This is so absurd. There are people in Silicon Valley who will do that kind of stuff for start ups because they get ground floor shares of the company that could make them billionaires if it succeeds. But Twitter isn't a start up. To ask salary staff to commit to 12 hour days, 7 days a week, to build something that will make one person -- Elon Musk -- richer, is going to be a hard "no" from just about everyone.

 

Unconfirmed but apparently he laid off the guy who handles the security badges.....

 

I have a way out for Elon and I think it would save face. Donate twitter to The Poyntner Institute all current employees and ex employees can keep their jobs. Elon looks good gets massive tax write off

I swear I came up with this myself. My stretegery is top notch

 

He bought it to scuttle it, right? That's the most logical explanation.

 

He paid $44B for a company that apparently is of no value unless it is burned to the ground in the first month.

Once it’s MegaTelegram, it’ll be just another one of those, which struggle because they all suck. And the RWers are going to pay $8 a month for that? Doubtful even that population will pretend that’s sensible.

The former Twitter workforce and investors that actually sued him to buy could probably have an actual Twitter 2.0 up and running in months, for basically peanuts.

But I admit I was dumb enough to choose parents that did not own an emerald mine, so I’ll just watch to see how the magic is made.

 

Yeah, but it can be recreated pretty easily. Gonna whack moles in perpetuity?

 

Most of my feed tonight is people saying where to find them when it crashes, along with leaked internal messages of massive resignations and technical failures

 

So where’s that? Where to find them, I mean. Like, a different Twitter handle, or an actual different platform? Because one of those is sad and the other is not really a thing, at least today.
