People act like musk is the genius who invented layoffs or being a cut throat executive. Yeah, firing people saves money. Yeah a ship can still run with a skeleton crew.

However, personally I think the story of a platform supporting thousands of families is more interesting than a platform serving to enrich a small (and openly toxic) few

.. wasn’t Twitter operating at a net loss? So the VCs were the ones “supporting” those families… that’s a charity LARPing as a functional business

So the solution is to axe a large portion of the staff, burn established advertisers and alienate a large portion of the user base? Seems more like a playbook to torpedo the company.

The beauty is: we’re going to find out soon enough. So far it doesn’t seem like Twitter is going to have any problem surviving.

I'd be shocked if it survived this.
