The comments on here implying it takes like 6 people to run a software company the size of Twitter are hilarious.

F yeah!
I know, just like Tesla...oh, wait. Nevermind.
And to answer the question of what it takes to run that **** stain of a site....the 25% that is supposedly left is still probably two to three times too heavy.

Twitter has a very Titanic-like feel tonight. It is dead in the water. The engines have stopped. The electricity is on. The ship is listing. A few lifeboats have been lowered. Nervousness will soon yield to panic. By morning, Titanic was gone…- - - …

He's going to have a hard time attracting entitled crybabies that have Stanford or Berkley degrees and think that the world owes him something.
He's more likely to attract tiger teams of guys that actually have a passion for coding.
One tiger team of five is worth 500 entitled cry-babies.
Holy BASED.

Hell yes. I want a boss that demands his employees pull their weight and who pays them fairly for their work. That will be a fruitful company.
I hate working with people under 35 with no work ethic. They leave at 5 and won't do a single thing other than what they're told and what is within office hours. (And I have no problem with people under 35 who have a work ethic)

Musk is now running Twitter with less than 50 key employees, down for 7,500 at its peak.
“Everything is normal, we may be profitable soon.” He says.
Rossticus said:
If his goal was to clean house then mission accomplished, it seems. Looks like he may be hitting 90% instead of 75%.People are genuinely unsure how this company functions come next week. As is, some emergency contractors are going to have to come in asap just to cut checks.
— Kali Hays (@HaysKali) November 18, 2022Elon Musk called in his SpaceX CFO for some meetings and calls held today to try and convince people to stay by pitching Musk's vision for Twitter. Didn't work. Some people are still around in accounting though, I'm told.
