Interested to hear others opinions (not political or cave bound) about Musk's actions since taking control. He obviously realized there was some serious dead weight just milking a paycheck, but dang. If I had that much money into something that could vanish quite quickly ... well ... I'd take a different approach.

Hope it dies. Good riddance.
I don’t know technology behind the scenes and how it works. I heard Twitter had 7600 employees. Which seemed odd since it’s just a website. So I’m not really sure why they would need so many employees.
What’s the over under on this before it gets caved? 20 posts?
I use Twitter for different sources of information but it dies, I won't be sad.
Something else will pop up to take it's place.
I would like to know that as well. I started one when Royce Lewis announced his run for senate and that disappeared pretty fast. Idk what the record is though.
Doesn't matter how many employees you fire when all of your advertisers pull out because they think you suck at leading. You're still crashing it regardless.
He is doing a great job of doing a bad job.
I’ve been fascinated by the funeral held for Twitter over the past few days…on Twitter.
I don't think he is going to completely kill Twitter but I don't see how he will make his investment back.
How would you rate Twitter on a size scale against Facebook? FB employs 45,000 people worldwide. Instagram has 19,000. TikTok seems to have around 10,000. Twitter was already small in comparison.
It takes a lot to run tech companies, websites or otherwise. Many, many things go on behind the scenes to keep the lights on that no user ever sees or hears about.
I dont think he cares, he is just trolling for his own enjoyment.
I'm sure there was some fat that could be trimmed but that's literally every company. I'm sure there is a lot more than just having a few people write some code. Plus there's marketing, legal, HR etc. that probably involve quite a few people.
A lot you sound like the same people and comments about Tesla, SpaceX, etc. Why bet against an entity that the sole shareholder could write off his investment and still fund the company?
I get upset spending nearly $10 on a meal at Culver's. Crazy he lights $50 billion on fire just for his enjoyment.
It's seems like it wants to compete against that Truth Social - Trump platform
I'm seeing a lot more stuff in trends that I don't want to see.
Plus if I'm an advertiser I have no idea how I could be on the platform. It has so much **** on there. I want my ad right next to some ****** up Nazi ****? That's nothing new, but I've always wondered how companies get their arms around that
I’ll be sad to see it go. Obviously tons of flaws but the simplicity and immediacy of information was great.
