Social media is a vile cesspool which is harmful to people. There is no scenario where this isn't true. You either stringently moderate it and then you split social media into different platforms like they have News channels or you just don't use it. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. I don't have any and life is perfectly fine. WhatsApp and the internet are on my phone I can get news from the places I want to like BBC, The Guardian, FT and Irish Times VillaTalk is social media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, but it’s also well moderated so you don’t get the vile rubbish you see on some platforms. And If you do, the post and poster are swiftly removed.

Davkaus Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Why is he so keen to completely tank the company? Is he so committed to spite he'll just write off $40bn? Edited November 4, 2022 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It’s a bit like the Donald Trump school of management isn’t it. Sack a load of people so everyone knows you only want arse kissers working for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) How has he possibly managed to do proper analysis of who is needed and who is not in a few days? He's probably tanked quite a few good and essential people who do key roles that he's got no conception of what they do. Wouldn't be surprised if they get lots of downtime soon. Plus the poor sods left behind will probably be very unhappy with double the work and nowhere to go for solutions/help on various issues. Couldn't he has taken a good year or so to carry our a root and branch inspection of how it all works, who does what before taking action?

Quite simply, he hasn't Threats of mass layoffs. Allegedly ordering people to work 80+ hour weeks. Instructing the whole company to print out their code(?!) so they can be code reviewed by Musk and his Tesla engineers. Announcing an end to working from home. It's sabotage, there's no other reason for it. And anyone who's worked in a hostile or failing company will know one thing - the good staff jump earliest. Twitter will be left with a demoralised, angry set of employees, consisting entirely of people who for one reason or another can't find anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he's deliberately trying to sabotage it (although with Musk, I guess anything is possible). He doesn't want ideas, he wants brown-noses at the top table who will do whatever he wants. It's his way or the highway and getting rid of a whole bunch of people early lays a marker down for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted November 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2022 If there is one thing the world needs right now it's a platform where you can say anything at all without fear of being reprimanded or prosecuted for libel, staffed by people who don't give a f**k.

I think it's partly a security system that should work to protect kids from imposters and evil people. So, parents and kids know the yare really following (Insert Marvel star for example) then they know its the real deal and not a Twitter user using the name as a method to talk to underage kids "Were you really in the film X" is fine as long as it doesn't get replied to from Bob in a caravan in Alabama using the same name.

Maybe he is daft enough to think he can come in and antagonise all of his engineering department. SpaceX is widely known as SlaveX for a reason, after all. But it's one thing building a company up using this approach and boiling the frog as you go, and another thing to have such a night and day change. If he thinks he can apply the same slavedriving policies to a company that's previously treated its staff fairly well, though, I think he's in for a shock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
