Lol what? If he hates remote work why in the world would he be ok with his engineering team working for him from another country?

I highly doubt a shady overseas consultancy is a viable replacement for things like infrastructure, engineering, UX and product design, etc. Maybe he can cut costs as far as moderators, but I don't believe it's possible to reduce a company like Twitter by 80–90% and maintain service and product quality.

I don't see how he gets out of this, honestly. Even if he appoints a CEO with actual social skills, it's hard for me to imagine that anyone would want to work for a company that he has any influence over.

The last company I saw implode like this was named Enron.

Didn't he ban software conultancies at his other companies?

He banned the three guys? There is a joke in industrial automation, that if a machine builder has a problem and contracts that work out to some external experts, it's always the same three guys, walking into the car company with different shirts.

The world is really small, if a job has nasty hours, bad conditions and needs expertise. Basically 3 idealists and Noone else.
