Since Twitter is running just fine several years later despite the shredding (which many said it will crumble its operations), maybe he has a point?
It's a myth that twitter is running fine. People always wonder why these companies need so many people and it's because of all the back operations. Sure, it takes 1 guy to make a static webpage or whatever singular feature you think the company does. The company has tens of thousands of features you're missing though so you end up with tens of thousands of people.

That's irrelevant to its technical operations which was the concern I addressed though.
>It's a myth that twitter is running fine.
Seems like a reality in my daily use. Any operational issues you're seeing that I don't?

Like this is textbook trend following
Dictionary: "A fashion that is taken up with great enthusiasm for a brief period of time; a craze".
So why did you start to use it in the first place.
I for example never did (apart from testing the API for professional reasons).
It's not irrelevant. If you're running a company you're have to take in more revenue than your expenses. Sure, you can run a deficit for a long time using outside investment like Uber as you grow revenue to exceed expenses. But, if you are a profitable company like Toys-R-Us and instead increase expenses (via interest payments) while not increasing revenue then you are going to go out of business eventually.
It's irrelevant to the discussion, not irrelevant to running a business in general.
The context being whether the "shredding" of government size "like he did Twitter" is workable. And the observation I added being that, from an operational standapoint, Twitter works fine, despite the doomsday scenarios when Musk started his shredding.
Government doesn't have to attract advertisers - or even turn a profit. Just to reduce it's spending. So if it can do that while (as Twitter) maintaining the same operational capacity, that's a win.
Depends on your definition of "fine"
I'm thinking more of "this is fine...."
