Elon Musk buys $3 billion stake (9.2%) in Twitter and is now the platform's largest shareholder

Looking for advertising from My Pillow and Goya

I thinks it’s clear now that Musk is just a front man with money who doesn’t know much of anything about business or technology. He has exposed his ignorance of both.

Has anyone in the payroll department written any code in the last year? No, I didn’t think so!

What point are you attempting to make here?

Sarcasm, I think. Elon seems to measure Twitter employees' worth by how much code they have written. Clearly, HR, payroll, compliance, legal, etc. are totally worthless then.

Because a coder for Twitter will be hard to replace quickly, since they know the product, and the product is complex, whereas it's easier to replace a non-coder - HR and payroll are generic jobs and not likely to be vary enormously from company to company. You can't parachute a FB coder to Twitter and expect them to be productive on day 1.

If you are in a field like HR or payroll and can literally work anywhere, why the F would you want to work at Twitter?

You don’t think there are independents and conservatives looking for work? BTW, there are entire contracting firms dedicated to HR and payroll who’d love the work.

It’s true that the work can be outsourced. If I there’s no one around to hand off the keys, it becomes difficult. Not to mention, unless you off shore it, chances are pretty good you’ll be paying more, not less than you were before. Outsourcing those functions make sense for small companies, not large ones.

I don’t know why you bring up independents and conservatives. Are they more likely to work in a toxic workplace for a mercurial boss?

I didn’t say overseas. There are US companies who do this. And yes, in this case independents and conservatives, who hated what Twitter were doing, would be willing to work for him.

You really have a weird take on what’s going on over there. The people there aren’t quitting because they’re liberals, they’re quitting because he’s an @sshole who’s destroying the company and they have other options.

Consider who the quitters are and what they’ve done.

What have they done?

Built Twitter, and now have a three month paid vacation courtesy of Elon. This "what they've done" pp is insane.

I'm all about the downfall of Twitter though.

Good for them. But don’t think there aren’t people willing and able to take those jobs on.

They should poach the SWE from Truth Social.

He got a whole lot of people to buy cars from him and say how much they love their cars despite the poor quality. Then he gets them to pay ridiculous prices for repairs.

Teslas are much better cars than other EVs in many respects, including battery longevity. There is a real technical reason why Tesla is doing better than other electric car companies.

I agree that Elon's impulsivity and insensitivity to other people's feelings and needs are really off-putting.

It is pretty clear the autocrats bundled money to destroy the platform.

The bolded has less than zero to do with anything Musk has ever done or is doing for the company.
