    Twitter falling out of the tree

    Musk is firing people who keep the lights on.

    Dosen't surprise me.
    I use Twitter for four things

    1. Link pumping (still good for that)
    2. Public complaints against companies (Very good)
    3. Taking the p155 out of Nadine Dorries (Excellent)
    4. Following Larry The Cat and Sir Michael Take CBE MP. Probably the 2 best Twitter accounts ever! (Better than excellent!)

      Well it’s all happening in real time on Twitter as all of the now ex-employees are tweeting their notices.

        I hope he's got some money left aside to pay for all those unfair dismissal law suits.

          Ah. From Chief Twit to Chief Tw@t in nothing flat.

          The perils of believing your own publicity.

          Meet nemesis.
          When the fun stops, STOP.

            I heard he hired Kwasi as business strategy leader and Liz as head of HR.

            Seriously though this is genuinely quite amazing. We all know Elon is a bit of a loose cannon but I think generally he's been regarded as a sort of erratic genius... His past successes has been incredible. To see a cockup unfold like this so publicly, with him live tweeting the whole thing, is darkly comedic.

            He is clearly brilliant but with terrible people skills and finds himself how the public face of one of the most famous companies.

              He is a straight talking engineer.

              He has said most other CEO's behave like androids or NPC characters from a video game with a limited dialog tree.

              He recently said he was working 70 to 80s a week but now added CEO of twitter so he is working 120 hours week

                  He’s going to need to be, he’s got rid of most of the SRE’s.

                  Probably thought “I’m a REAL Engineer, they’re just code monkeys”.

                  Or believed the hype about ‘moving quality to the left’.

                    He made an offer to buy the company when he was pissed/drugged up. He then tried to back out of the deal, was forced to continue, and now he's making the most of what he's got. Reducing costs, seeing what's viable, getting rid of what isn't.

                    He should've waited for the fire sale - Twitter was always going to go bust.
