I hope it lives on, thats where I get all my school news and it's easy to send things out. If it dies I'll have to get another platform. Yuck

Fair statements.
He wants ad revenue, but doesn't need it. His add revenue could go to zero and he could still fund the operations. Doesn't make sense, but he knows that's on the table for him.
i get a lot of news on Twitter - just follow who u find reputable. Why on earth would u look at all the other stuff? Who cares? I don't read the National Enquirer. Do I think the NE should go away? No. Also, this is from a person who has never been on FB.
You can stop with your first sentence.
He "realized" nothing. He's always been a fraud and is a tool to destroy a platform many marginalized and oppressed groups use globally to share what is happening to them.
One of my kids was recruited by Spacex but when he heard even the interns had to work 80 hours a week he decided to take his skills elsewhere. Life is too short for that crap.
Twitter sucks my balls, net negative for society.
People just don't want to work anymore
It’s a place you go to if you’re really invested in the mission or to get it on the resume after a year or two.
I think he's finding out that the "dead weight" he found in the first month wasn't dead weight at all. It was just his poor understanding of how social media companies work.
Running a website doesn't take many people. Moderating a site with millions of users and doing it in a way where you won't get sued into oblivion takes a lot of people. Big part of the reason the previous owners wanted out, hard to make money with it.
Good for your son. It was the correct choice for him.
But there are a lot of great things that SpaceX has and will accomplish.
Twitter did not need that many engineers. They know it and Musk knew it. Same thing for Facebook. You get that many engineers and they are just looking for things to do like block freedom of speech and fact checking. No real value added with that many engineers.
edit: Most of them on visa's or from foreign countries not US citizens. Not that I have anything against them just saying it isn't all US citizens getting laid off.

Both of those are government-backed. Life's easy under subsidy and government contracting. Twitter does not fall into those categories.
Also, Elon still financed about 40% of his Twitter purchase IIRC.
Twitter is really only good for following Super 70s sports, Barry McCockiner, and 3 year Letterman. Other than that its a cesspool.
I always laugh at the idea that the previous owners didn't want to make money. If your take starts with you assuming a business owner doesn't care about making money than you should probably just sit it out.
And no equivalent reason to do that for Twitter. It doesn't have nearly the attachment space travel or early EVs have
Still have never signed up for Twitter but getting a kick out of the drama that has gone down so far. It's obvious that some are just too obsessed over social media that this has created anxiety and stress for them. Personally could care less if Musk burns it to the ground, maybe will force some of us to look differently at how we use social media.
Won't post the link here at the risk of someone taking it the wrong way but there is a pretty funny video on YouTube I came across that was a satirical take in a fired Twitter employee interviewing for a new job.
