AndyM3000 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'm only on Twitter because its such a good source of information that I can't get easily elsewhere. I'd be happy to see it fall apart though, along with the rest of social media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted November 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 15, 2022 Musk has always made money through publicity and marketing, not competency - that seems to be the approach he's taking here - in a click based business, make as much noise as you can, there's no bad noise as long as people are clicking.

I never much liked him, but it was that whole “pedo guy” affair that made me realise he wasn’t just an overrated oddball, but an actively harmful personality who needs to be stopped. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Think a lot of the Musk fanboys don’t realise how hard it is to keep something like Twitter running 24/7, especially as it has such unpredictable traffic, and any new features / updates / bug fixes are happening on a live service. Should be entertaining… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) The context is hilarious, a couple of days ago he sent out an internal shitpost informing all employees that they needed to be extremely hardcore and work 80 weeks if they wanted to stay, and gave them a choice of clicking a link to accept, or automatically get laid off with 3 months severance. They had a day to decide. It seems a lot of people made the smart choice, took the 3 months, and told this entitled moron to kiss their arse. He's really, really deluded.

Mister_a Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Our company laid off two members of a 5 man team than ran the servers 24/7. Once they realised the mistake, they had to bring the same two guys back as contractors lol. Companies rarely operate in a sane manner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
