Twitter employees' letter to Elon Musk shows 'victimhood' is Silicon Valley's mantra: Vivek Ramaswamy
Musk reportedly planning to fire nearly 75% of Twitter employees

Elon Musk is expected to close on his Twitter deal by this Friday after a lengthy legal battle, but employees at the social media giant are signaling their opposition in a public letter, with a series of demands for the new leader.

Big whoop. Plenty of IT talent out there that will jump at the chance for a job there. Plus, hes most likely moving it out of Liberalville anyway. Most of the work force will leave voluntarily when they can no longer do nothing while 'working' from home.

Beast mode. Musk walks into Twitter HQ carrying a sink; ‘Let that sink in.’

Chief Twit!

It’s one thing to be rich, it’s another to be the richest, it’s even cooler when you’re eccentric enough to laugh at yourself and give yourself that title.  I like the guy.

A good start toward ending disinformation, but until Facebook/Meta, Reddit, Google, etc follow suit, this sort of thing will still go on unchallenged. Kinda like the USA and CO2 emissions. China/India are still the biggest and worst offenders, and roll on unabated.

That's not a great metaphor.  Twitter may not have the power to punish disinformation from Facebook, but the US can certainly punish CO2 emissions in India by imposing tariffs and sanctions on their trade. If we wanted to.

Sure they can, but does it effect change?

Maybe.  If it doesn't, then the punishment will prevent more jobs from being offshored.  Sounds like a win-win to me.  Same logic whether we're talking about China or India.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Twitter so alive and robust, it is popping off of over there. The left is losing it and it’s glorious. It’s interesting for sure..

Oh, and I’m growing like crazy
