Elon sent an email at 3am today (Monday) asking people to submit their work for the past 10 days. This probably implies he expects you to work during Thanksgiving, because otherwise past 10 days is just Monday to Wednesday of last week. #layoffs #twitter #elonmusk https://twitter.com/gergelyorosz/status/1597213463813980160

Why does leetcode get so much hate?
Dude needs to lay off the powder
Yeah I often wonder if he's using drugs. Perhaps not recreational but maybe modafinil or other prescription nootropics. The reason are his outrageous claims of working 120 hour weeks. Nobody does that without assistance. When he goes manic and gets that god complex you see his heightened impulsivity.
It could also be that he’s simply not treating a manic episode: the stress of being court ordered to spend 44M you don’t comfortably have would send me over the deep end too.
his last tweets have gone off the rails completely, he's now complaining about psy ops on Twitter and apple cutting ads, maybe you wouldn't have psy ops if you didn't fire the content moderation team
What is psy ops?
psychological operations I guess, trying to influence people's opinions through methodological manipulation and influencing. in other words spamming the same thoughts everywhere until it sticks, which is exactly normal Twitter but with bots/paid shills, which is again, normal Twitter, probably complaining because they're not hyping him up this time
Right now, Elon is code reviewing a Docker config file wondering what YAML is. 😂😂😂
I find this worse than firing half the company tbh
He'll be lucky to sell Twitter for $2B after all this is over
Elon was the GOAT all along for all those polls asking “Which ceo can code” and shit lol He codes and knows how much engineers slack tbh
He sure knows how to incentivize dog & pony shows. People are going to be more focused on the appearance of work than actually doing anything
ah yes, he's showing he's really competent with the multiple shittakes we've seen in a few weeks - "Twitter is a software and servers company" - "damn can't believe i found this issue through Twitter, we should have alarms go off when we get db write spikes or something" - "we're turning off useless services, like 2FA"
If there weren’t so many livelihoods at stake I would find this a bit more entertaining. It is fascinating to see what Elon is doing here and I don’t think we’ve ever seen anyone attempt such a massive culture change at a company so quickly and so publicly. Im very curious to see how it shakes out, a lot of people are predicting the demise of Twitter, maybe that will happen but I’m not totally convinced. I definitely feel bad for most of the lower level people currently employed at Twitter, they seem to have walked into a hurricane. No sympathy from me for the execs though.
Twitter already lost 50% of their top advertisers. I’ve noticed the tweets I get are steadily becoming unrelated and more right wing/borderline racist and decided to uninstall. If apple really pulls it from the App Store then it’s over for twitter
Where did you pull that out from ? 🤣
I think we are about to witness the first case of someone flushing away 44b / twitter in a matter of months. Apple has stopped advertising on Twitter is considering pulling out Twitter from the App store.
This sounds funny lol, how can you judge an engineer through some random PR. ‘Oh, the variable doesn’t sound right, indentation doesn’t align too, you are fired effectively immediately’
Let’s be real, he’s just checking how much they worked weekends and holidays.
Might as well tie them to the desk at this point.
Or tie it around like a badge and carry it with you always. EM can even wake you up in the middle of the night and ask for your code. This guy doesn’t sleep and doesn’t let his employees sleep.
I have seen dogs on a leash getting more freedom than Twitter's employees after Elon Musk takeover.
