First things first: I hate Elon Musk. It’s been sometime since he acquired Twitter and the product continues to run. Let’s have an analytical logical discussion. Remember he downsized the company from 7.5K employees to 1-1.5K. Videos are still getting uploaded and being served continuously on the feed. No lags and significant users (vs previous period) still using the platform. Credit must be given to engineers who built this scalable platform that is still sustaining the load at 6x reduced capacity. On one end Twitter engineers have done an exceptional job, on the other hand Elon as a business ceo equally has been ruthless and still found a way to keep the ship floating. What do you think? #twitter #x #google #meta
Most tech companies could operate with under 1000 people
May be true but do you really want a society with huge unemployment?
And you believe private companies overhire for charity..lmao
Having never been an active twat, I’m curious what active twats think of the rebrand.
You didn’t need that many plp to run twitter Managers hire more plp to get themselves promoted. More people means you have more scope, experience managing bigger teams. What happens is those plp fill their schedules with BS work that doesn’t move the needle. OKR that sound important but don’t move the needle. Features are shipped faster too, less red tape
And without a trust and security team, Russia and China get free reign to run psyops on mentally weak right wingers, including Elon. It's a win for somebody, but not for you. Unless you are in the business of being an authoritarian leader or maybe a grifter selling <insert favorite new scam pillow, gold bug, influencer product, etc>.
Yea those right wingers! Hardy har har let the dems turn USA to SF
I have to partially credit him with curing my Twitter addiction, because it just isn't as enjoyable to use anymore. Content I see is less relevant and the are so many more ads (that are no longer labeled as such so it takes longer to skip over them).
Yep this. I deleted the app and don’t miss it except in breaking news events. My various communities from Twitter have moved to other apps
Lol u must be be liberal
So treading water is a success? The company is valued at like a third of the purchase price.
Every time I open the app I get this screen Deleted app, cleared cache, etc etc It’s so fucking buggy and shit nowadays Replies are just fucking dumb crypto bro blue checks with ai generated responses

Nailed to a wall maybe
Nailed to a cross
Poor blue bird, he died for our sins
BlueSky save us!
Wait !! Like do you know how scalability works?? Elon removed the engineers and not the servers from the data centers - that is why you still see them taking the load the surviving the day albeit with much lesser folks

Thank you AAPL and NVDA
Weird that you hate a billionaire you’ve never met who hasn’t impacted your life in any way
It’s perfectly rational to hate billionaires. Billionaires are a scourge to this world.
Lol! It’s the same way lot of ppl hate Trump. Ideological differences can lead to that.
