Twitter is going really great
As I keep saying, the company is not compatible at all with how Elon Musk thinks how a company should be run. In fact, it’s likely the complete opposite is true, which is why there’s far fewer than 50% of the company’s staff remains.
Originally Twitter wanted to shave 25% of their headcount even without Elon, because they were painfully aware the company was bloated. Elon boasted about wanting to cut 75% of the staff, but when he came in, he ended up Thanosing the company instead.
What he probably wasn’t counting on (or maybe he did to an extent) were the culture clash and staff solidarity so now Twitter ends up with fewer than 3000 employees and that number is likely going to go down even further by the day. Apparently 75% of the remaining staff opt out of the “extremely hardcore” conditions.
From the looks of it, Twitter could break next week with nobody available to fix things. People are already seeing glitches and things not working on the site.
He boasted about cutting 80% of the micro services that he deemed inessential to running Twitter which ended up disabling two factor authentication via SMS and now it looks like his 75% layoff plan is working, albeit perhaps slightly differently than he intended.
Musk is fucking around and finding out.
I was going to post the article about the latest round of resignations but this Techmeme page is more relevant with all the live tweets included
