    And yet you manage to reply to each of them. You are working harder for Elon than his Twitter employees.

    I haven’t replied to each of them. In fact, I think this may be my first reply to you ever.

    That’s because that’s my first ever post to you.

    I don’t think even Maye would be as protective of Elon as you are.

    Yeah, maybe it's just trolling, but the guy really really seems to have some kind of Randian hero complex.

    He's not here for discussion, he's a partisan in the truest sense and he argues what he doesn't know. I'm sure he hated Elon 6 years ago.

    Everyone - the top guys don’t want anyone calling other posters a troll. I really don’t want to go back and have to edit or delete a ton of posts.
    So how about you just quit using that term from now on?
    Thanks

    How about code words like rabid partisan? Looking for something that’s accurate but doesn’t make the poor poster feel bad…

    So far Elon Musk's effort to "clean house" at Twitter could have the unintended effect of cleaning house to the point where Twitter could becomes another MySpace. In case anyone may have forgotten about MySpace.
    "In June 2006, it [My Space] surpassed Yahoo! and Google to become the most visited website in the United States.[8][9]"
    Elon Musk is rapidly transforming Twitter from what is arguably the most influential social media platform into what could become a footnote in the history of social media. Although I'm sure it's not what the OP meant, Elon Musk's efforts at "cleaning house" could make Twitter irrelevant in the not too near future. If he wants to avoid destroying Twitter Musk will have to reverse course and that means ending his bullying and intimidation of Twitter's workforce as well as turning the platform into another 4Chan.

    Nothing Musk has done since taking over Twitter has been for the benefit of users or advertisers. Nearly everything he's done has had negative unintended consequences, most notably an 8% drop in Tesla stock in the last 30 days.

    Elon Musk has become the John Ruiz of corporate CEOs.

    Im just hoping for twitter’s demise, not Elon’s. I don’t give a shit about Musk. You’re clearly a Musk fanboi.

    spiraling down the toilet, expect it to crash sooner rather than later.

    Elon Musk Has MELTDOWN On Twitter After 75% Of Workforce Quits & Senate Threatens To INVESTIGATE Billionaire's New Company (msn.com)

    As RadarOnline.com reported, Twitter is now on the verge of collapse as a result of three quarters of its workforce opting to depart the company on Thursday.

    “The team that maintains Twitter’s core system libraries that every engineer at the company uses is gone after Thursday,” one employee revealed. “You cannot run Twitter without this team.”

    “I know of six critical systems (like ‘serving tweets’ levels of critical) which no longer have any engineers,” said another employee who has since the company. “There is no longer even a skeleton crew manning the system.”

    “It will continue to coast until it runs into something, and then it will stop.”

    Elon is a great example of why rich people shouldn’t get stoned. Normal people can handle it they just order Taco Bell and live with the regret the next day….

    Still unmitigated doom ahead

    Trump has said he won't go back to Twitter since he's got Truth Social, but Trump lies about everything, so I guess we will see.

    I’m guessing they have at least a “gentleman’s agreement” off the record that he will come back and start using Twitter again. If Trump truly hopes to win in 2024, Twitter is a must. That said, I don’t think Trump will win in 2024, so there’s that.
