I assume you are really talking about your current job at Twitter...

I know you are joking but Tesla had an entire team devoted to making sure Elon does not fuck up important things.

I believe it is well documented that critical personnel were hidden when he was visiting the factories to avoid getting them rage-fired

I want to believe this but I can't find a source, can you share where you've read this?

These stories came from a former Tesla manager. But if you want a reputable source:

Thank you, that was a nice read.

Good day to you, kramerger.

"Claims about Elon Musk since the Twitter takeover" in a nutshell.

"In war, truth is the first casualty."

I don't think so, considering how Twitter is somehow running better with 80 percent of personnel removed

I believe you are getting downvoted (and now flagged and removed from the thread) for not substantiating your comment. HN does not seem to like single-line comments that do not provide info.

But I have to ask. Do you have any info or stats that shows that Twitter is really running better? By what metrics is it running better? Honest question.

You could be right, but it's not like a large software project instantly falls apart if people leave. It'll keep running for a while but cracks will start to develop and nobody will be around to patch them up.

Aha. And what if someone is there, from the remaining 20%, to patch them up?

Those people are going to have to work a lot of overtime I guess? We'll see :)

A drop of 75%-80% in revenue doesn't seem like its anyone's definition of "running better".

Bold of you to assume Elon Musk would be able to use ssh.
