Elon’s Twitter takeover is going swell. 

 

At this rate, there won't be much of a platform left for Trump to return to

Wait, are they saying that the company will have less than 1k employees?

No, I think that 7.4 number was after the initial round of cuts. 

Edit: it wasn't

Before the Thursday deadline, Musk and his advisers held meetings with "critical” Twitter employees in an attempt to dissuade them from leaving, reports say. He also seemed to retreat on his stance on not allowing people to work from home in confusing messages about the company’s remote work policy.

Ok, looks like the cuts started on Nov 3rd, so yeah, less than 1k employees if they all follow through on leaving. Yikes.

This is more devastating than anything else. They called his bluff and now he's begging for them to stay. Nobody is going to respect a CEO acting this way.

It's funny to read all the people saying "Well it still works so I guess all those people weren't needed". Very clearly don't understand how software/web servers work.

He’s acting like there’s nowhere else to work in Silicon Valley.  

I don’t think Elon ever really understood twitter.    He used it just to troll people.

All I can say is the $8 Checkmark has been comedy gold.

They were all good but this one is still my fav

I've got to give credit where credit is due.. 

Trump may be a terrible businessman but even his most failed ventures never flamed out as terribly or were as costly as Elon Musk's egotistical foray into Twitter.

This is like watching WeWork in fast forward. Mind boggling all around. How could he not foresee that some of most marketable employees in a competitive industry would tell him to eff himself.

Ego. Really the only explanation.

I don't know. The internet has been full of companies going belly up.

Having worked at a casino, i have no idea how you can bankrupt one. Your clientele is literally addicted to your product. Keep them clean and have great personalized guest service. It's not that hard.
