He is pretty famously not an engineer. See the Vegas loop with fucking cars.
I've pointed this out to several people recently, but although he is, the people he's saying it to aren't and don't really react.
Still remember Kotaku using this image for every article about mass layoffs & studio closures back in the day.
"So when do we see our fancy new office?
"As soon as you fond your fancy new job. You're all fired."
As somone who writes ugly, inefficient code, I'd be safe.
Can we all please not assume everything on Twitter is true without any sources? I mean sure, that seems like something Elon would do but it could easily have been made up.

"What about all the tweets that weren't people using the n-word?? Checkmate, libs."
i mean
just a couple days ago he asked all his programmers to print out and send him all their code for him to review
I mean, I don't believe it just based on that tweet, but I absolutely believe Musk is stupid enough to do something like that.
Essentially the reason the board quickly accepted Elon's offer. No takezie backzies
Only junior coders that write 10 million lines of code to do simple things are left
If it's hard to use, then boomers and idiots can't join, so honestly, maybe this is a good thing.
Yes, I want to gatekeep parts of the internet, the experiment of opening it up to everyone has, on balance, been not a great time.
That's kinda Muskrat's problem to combat misinformation now that he owns Twitter. And now he gets to do it with half as many people! Not including the ones who are already looking to leave after this shitshow.
Yeah now that you state this I think I'll erase any thoughts I have on this until I see some first hand sources
"man, this is gonna be a rough 2023, itd take a miracle or a dumbass buying twitter to get us outta this one"
"good news, boss. elon musk just got ratio'd by the hard-drive"

Even if it's not true, who gives a shit? Maybe Musk will learn that it's not just right-wing chuds that can spread misinformation on Twitter.
true or not, the shitshow going on does give a good reason to change passwords on twitter
"There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye."
I can agree with this take. Fuck elon either way.
Some info on potential legal trouble Elon is in
Not sure if this was posted yet but Twitter may be on the hook for a shit ton of CA labor violations

And also how it may also violate civil rights laws

Looks like most of Twitter India have been let go too.
Gotta say, Musk has somehow proven himself to be even more of a colossal dumbass than what I thought he was with how he's running things after, what, the first week?
Literally this image in perpetual real time:

It would not surprise me if this was part of it, but on an earlier page it sounded like the entire Accessibility team got the boot, and that seemed intentional to me. Like, I do not doubt for a second that Elon would say "Accessibility? We don't need a team for that. Blind people only make up half a percent of the population, and they can't see ads, so fuck 'em."
(to be clear, this wildly oversimplifies what the accessibility team does, and the statistic on prevalence of blindness is made up and totally wrong)
FWIW, bonuses aren't actually taxed any higher, they just have different rules for withholding, so more is withheld at the time of payment, but not in actual taxes when it comes to filing.
He isn't "losing it." He's always been a shitbag lunatic.
I'm so tired of people trying to make excuses for him, even if they don't realize that's exactly what they're fucking doing. He's a terrible fucking human being. He doesn't do or say what he does because he's drug-addled, mentally ill, or looking at "revenue and advertising." He does it because he's an arrogant shitstain who can easily have people carry his water, including those saying he's deranged as opposed to purposeful.
If that's true, holy shit.
That logic would be okay only if you have, i don't know, a fucking emerald mine and you need to figure out who are the best at picking up shiny stones among all the kids.
Awesome! I love the story of how ResetEra came to be. It's my favourite place to read about.......everything.
Yeah I posted this earlier, but it really paints a more complete picture of why things went to shit so quickly. Twitter is in the hole for 2023 way more than people were already imagining, and antagonizing and pushing away advertisers further is just WILD.
Nothing bad will happen with unmoderated social media on the subcontinent. Nothing.

More examples of the average intelligence of Musk fanboys.
It's also a lie. Twitter wasn't killing it financially but when Musk bought the company there was $6B in their war chest.
It would be amazing if people just started uploading a ton of videos to Twitter and make it so much more expensive for Musk.
