How did Elon get so rich. He's tearing about one of the country's most popular social media sites in record time. Dude is acting like an idiot and it's going to blow up in his face.

---

He got rich because he didn't listen to people like you and the school teacher

---

Same question as before.

Given the current state of things, do you believe he is doing a good job as CEO of Twitter? If the answer is yes, what supports this view?




Bonus Round: Would you quit your job today to start working at Twitter on Monday (comparable role)?

Twitter has only made a profit in 2018 and 2019 in it's entire existence - why would Elon want to keep any of the people who were part of that? He's got room to change the business model and he's trying things out. In addition, many (most?) of us don't really care if he succeeds or not, we are just glad to see the Twitterati get their comeuppance.

---

Elon still has to run a company unless his goal is to shut it down. People that he actually needs for the company to function are leaving. I think he assumes that he can just replace them but at this point who is actually going to voluntarily go work at Twitter?


Oh and as of this morning he has suspended new Twitter Blue subscriptions. The option to subscribe has disappeared. Not sure how long that will last.

Look I would love for Twitter to survive. Despite it's many faults I think it's had a net positive effect. But if it's going to go down in flames, I can't imagine a more deserving (and funnier) person to be left holding the $44 billion bag than Elon Musk.

---

Elon could literally set fire to $44 billion dollars and he'd still be the richest man in the world. I doubt the money bothers him in the least.

But, you should contact him. It's obvious a former teacher and now corporate recruiter knows way more about running businesses than him since you've run zero and he's currently running 5 or 6...you could give him some advice about how to make money - he seems to have trouble doing that.

---

He certainly seems to be struggling with Twitter.


And if you think that the richest man in the world wouldn't care about losing roughly 25% percent of his net worth through a failed business deal, I'll have whatever your smoking. His ego can't handle that. Hell he can't even handle getting made fun of on twitter and you think he'd be ok with that big of a business loss?

As a former teacher that has only run 2 small businesses before, I don't have any similar experience as Elon. But it doesn't take a whole lot of intelligence to see how poorly he is doing at running Twitter.


I mean do you honestly and objectively think he is doing a good job right now?

This titan of industry calling the new CEO a failure after two weeks (never mind the CEO is by far the richest man in the world).

Specifically what has he done so far that gives you confidence he is taking the company in the right direction? Y'all want to point to his past successes as proof that he knows what he is doing. But what is he doing right now? Someone give me some examples of this genius business acumen that proves he has a handle on twitter and it's direction.






Elon Musk fanboys are so weird.

Considering Twitters hiring practices included hiring extreme far left liberals, I assume the other 90% of the population are now candidates to apply.

---

Given the current state of the company, would you leave your current role and go work for Twitter on Monday?

Honest question then... what is this axe he is grinding?

Especially bizarre given that almost no one came to the office. Estimated cost per lunch served in past 12 months is >$400.

I've heard a few first hand accounts of what it's like working for Musk, and it's hell. He gets more out of people than they would put forth without his intensity, but he treats employees poorly and has zero empathy, and I mean zero. He is never wrong (in his mind), and often ignores advice from senior level engineers that ends up costing time and money. The thing is, he has infinitely deep pockets. He doesn't care about the money. He will turn Twitter into the organization he wants it to be, and I don't think he cares about making a return on investment. He'll just keep throwing money at it. It's a private company now, the organization is accountable to him and nobody else.

“We regret to inform you that your employment is terminated immediately,” they’re being told over email. “Your recent behavior has violated company policy.”

It's incredible that they thought this was acceptable behavior. Why would you put this in writing?

There are companies that value and thrive upon fully open discourse and debate. They don't want a bunch of yes-people. Twitter was like that before Elon.

Here’s the text of the email Musk sent to Twitter staff overnight.

Those who don’t commit to being “extremely hardcore” by 5pm ET today must leave the company. ‼️
