there could be a number of reasons other than "Elon doesn't care about xyz"

other members of the dev team can/are already doing this

Maybe he plans to make it part of everyone's job

Maybe he has his own team to replace it

We have zero knowledge of what's going to happen so jumping ship without knowing the full picture seems haphazard to me.

> we have zero knowledge

So a grossly mismanaged change from a PR perspective. Of course there is going to be fallout from that.

Jumping ship because of X at this point is just ideological flexing, we have zero indication how this will play out yet.

I wouldn't go that far. I agree that there's a lot of that visible right now, but Elon demanded round-the-clock hours from employees as his first "executive order", as well as locking down offices. He just doesn't seem that good of a boss, and more like a traditional capitalist in a sense. Is it ideological to want decent working hours?

> we have zero indication.

That's a gross mismanagement of sweeping changes. Which is in itself an indication. Anyone could have predicted people leaving the platform if they were told ahead of time how the layoffs and extra hours would be so poorly communicated.
