But I was just informed that nothing has changed and it’s running fine.

You do realize that wanting Elon Musk to physically penetrate you is not an actual personality, right?

The effort was there open mic-er

Americans also pay for "global supply chains".

You really do not have a clue do you? If it wasn’t for the global supply chain, most Americans wouldn’t have half the ish they do. Without the global supply chain, most of us would be out of work. But go ahead and keep deflecting. 

Elon Musk says Twitter is done with layoffs and ready to hire again

Musk didn’t specify the kinds of engineering or sales roles Twitter was hiring for, and the company doesn’t currently have any open roles listed on its website. "In terms of critical hires, I would say people who are great at writing software are the highest priority,” he said during the meeting. The Verge reported last week that Twitter recruiters were already reaching out to engineers asking them to join "Twitter 2.0 — an Elon company.”

WT Hell is he up to? I cannot figure these moves out.

Let's all make a Harlem Shake video.

Who's in?

Now it's obvious why sh**libs are screeching at their monitors over the acquisition.

It's like a rudderless ship and the engineers have been locked out of the control room. The ship will keep moving until it strikes something.

Meanwhile at the soylib alternative to twitter:

The sh**libs are cannibalizing each other. :roll:

This is the first move he's made that makes sense to me. The website isn't sustainable long term with its current staffing based on everything we've been told. The longer it's running on fumes and/or shut down (if that happens at some point) the more chance alternative websites will have to try to fill the void and poach users. 

Getting things back to running fully staffed as quickly as possible is the only way he can salvage some money and face in this situation.  Well short of stepping away but we know he won't do that.

Yep, and he can claim he is in tear down build back better mode whether that was by design or necessity.

They will be hiring people in other areas of the business where perhaps they can grow revenues.

And Twitter is definitely dying.  Most definitely dying since all those people left to go to Canada and employees got fired

Since I don't think beans on toast causes this, are you smoking crack?

DAUs or Daily Active Bots running amok because Elon shut down the microservices trying to battle the bot issue?

Also likely to be a short term bounce of users test driving Elon's Twitter.

If Twitter's revenue is 90% ad sales, and advertisers are pulling back because Elon is having a very public midlife crisis, then how do you reconcile that? Ford isn't gonna want their holiday ads running right next to Uncle Bubba screaming about Jewish space lasers.

Some advertisers are pulling back temporarily (fair enough), but does that not also mean other advertisers won't want to spend there, etc.  If some advertisers pull back, but the user footprint increases, does that not also help increase ad visibility/spend for those companies that still advertise there. Do you think that a larger user base is a detriment to advertisers wanting to spend their budget there?  Or a smaller one?

The presumption that no one will want to advertise on Twitter because they did stuff like actively remove kiddie pron or widened the POVs that are allowed on the platform, is funny - there is an echo chamber that old Twitter was great, etc - but if it was, why did it struggle to make a consistent profit and has been losing money recently.  More POVs encourage more advertisers to spend there right?

Could Twitter fail? Of course it could and in the very long term will (because most companies do), but this constant short term obituary writing is funny because someone bought a company and changed it.  It's a private company, it can do what it wants right?

You just don't seem very good at it.

You need to pack in a few more strawmen into this post, you're almost into the double digits, don't give up now!

I know your argument was "There's more activity"...but does this activity represent how Twitter is going to be? Or does it represent people tuning in for the circus since Twitter is in the headlines right now?

I think you'll agree with me - a business doesn't want chaos. Especially someone else's chaos. If you're CMO of McDonalds, and you just wanna run some ads without any drama, are you trusting Elon with your brand's reputation right now?

Sounds like you're living in an echo chamber of one, bruh. Because nobody said that except you.

It's simple—Elon is inviting chaos. He's attaching his personal brand to Twitter's brand. If Elon bought Twitter and said "We're doing free speech now" and then just shut up and let some tech CEO run things, they wouldn't be in the headlines as much.  But he wants to be a social media influencer. Which means any brand who pays to advertise on Twitter is now paying to be on the hook for wherever Elon's reputation takes them.

Yeah...and people can have opinions on it. The Eagles are someone's private company too. Let's end all football debates with that line too.
