if this dude built his empire from the ground up, maybe then i could praise him.

but from what i heard, he was born with a fucking silver spoon and got some funds from the government. not exactly what i would consider self made but whatever...

That maligned diver from the Thai cave rescue should make a tweet that says, "Elon, you're taking on water, so I'm sending you one of my submarines to help."

But this isn't really about Space X or Tesla. This is about Elon and his schizophrenic interference in company policy that is stopping Tesla / Space X from being as good as they could be. There's been nothing but a dramatic decrease in quality in Twitter after the takeover and at this point you have to assume that the same level of damage has already been inflicted on Tesla and Space X.

Yeah this is why I'm surprised this isn't impacting Tesla/Space X more than it is.

Like this tweet kind of sums it up imo
https://twitter.com/TheDweck/status/1591913211162681344

(Also the attempted "But he didn't invent Tesla!" gotchas in the replies are funny)

Its weird how much people pretend to care about all of this. I dont see topics about dominos getting ready for the Super Bowl. Or Walmart getting ready for Black Friday. Its strange.

Imagine reaching so hard and still only managing to come up with a take as bad as this.

It's not new. Go look at employee ratings for Tesla and you will basically just find out how many ways you can possibly write "he abuses his workers until they break and are forced into leaving."

Elon has always been a cartoon villain, he is just in the spotlight now.

I read an article a couple years ago about this. One minute he's interrupting board meetings to make everyone watch this hilarious Monty Python sketch he'd just discovered, the next he's firing floor workers on the spot for contradicting him.

Dude's basically....well, me, at 16 years old. I wouldn't trust 16-year-old me to manage the night shift at a run-down Arby's, let alone a multinational automotive company.

I would think these people realize that Twitter isn't the only company that needs quality engineers and just take the three months and bail.

Not worth it to live solely to make Elon richer.

Pretty sure the only people who will remain are those who know they will struggle to find another job and those on visas who have to worry about being forced out of the country if they lose their job.

If you have Twitter on your resume you shouldn't worry about struggling to find a job. Not to mention that if you stay, it might not even last three months anyway

16 hour work days arent enough in all honesty. He can provide very cheap accusation in the office so workers transit is reduced to 0. They only really need 6 hours or even less sleep. Theres no reason twitter staff cant be working close to 140 hour weeks. Of course they are on salary and a little bit of overtime is expected so there will be no additional compensation, they already get cheap accomodation provided to them

Ahh interesting.

Ehh, maybe he can do it. I know we all like to hate on Elon, but he has led companies that have done just that.

If they make a better product, yay. If not, it doesn't matter

ahh yes, paypal, the service that was horrible for a decade until competitors made it suck less. tesla: it's cars kill people on their own, and spaceX: siphoning our taxpayer dollars to this maniac instead of just running a shuttle program ourselves. and now twitter: getting worse than fb! fantastic job elon.

Yeah, it's a weird feeling. I've enjoyed my time with it, and a lot of people I follow are upset due to either not having an outlet for fandom or for their art, but the schadenfreude on Musk is glorious.
