Ghost_MH Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 The thing about this that makes me think this actually might have some traction is that after COVID and millions working from home and unionization efforts and even stuff like the anti work movement, Musk coming out and firing half the company and then asking everyone left to work extra long hours just sets off everyone's bullshit meter. In this climate, to just assume everyone will be super cool with asking thousands of employees to be ready for years long crunch, while the gaming and VFX industry are getting all the sympathy in the world is crazy to me. It's Twitter. Not changing the world or saving any lives. Just the place where everyone goes to get some news while being told to get raped and kill themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Elon is clearly too much of an adoration addict to intentionally destroy the one thing that let millions of people line up to dick ride him. I genuinely think he would rather lose a bunch of the money and keep the adoration than let whatever this is happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to back out of legally-binding contract, triggering a court case that he was sure to lose, so like the petulantly racist man-child that he is, he's decided to burn the entire thing to the ground in a final act of pique.

You don't tell your employees days after becoming the owner of Twitter that it will likely be bankrupt without.... probably some plan on maybe bankrupting Twitter.

Greatoneshere Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'm sure someone can track down my post from way earlier in the thread, but from day one my assumption has been he's been trying to destroy Twiter because he was forced to buy it. As soon as he walked in with a sink, I was like: "this motherfucker is gonna burn this shit to the ground, and torch whatever was left of his reputation to the ground in the process". Lo and behold, Musk giveth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a company at that point be forced to start hiring US employees if the ratio of US to sponsored employees becomes too disproportionate?

An absolutely context-free statement that contributes nothing to our knowledge of the situation, only to follow-up with a link to the NYT article which he could've easily done in the original message.
