So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX **Threadbans in OP**

Mostly PM? You mean Project Managers?!!

Ah yeah, I thought you completely jumped the shark there.

He doesn't want to do any of that of that except the profitable business bit.

I suspected that it was going to be a train-wreck under Musk but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. He very clearly has absolutely no idea what he's doing and is making up the rules as he goes along. With users and advertisers streaming for the exits and him paying an estimated triple what the company is actually worth he's basically created a massive rod to beat himself with.

lol. His actions say otherwise. His statements are just to convince people like you to give him money and for his own ego. He just says some buzzwords and his fans lap it up.

The world doesn't need billionaires. Musk gets the headlines because he's an insufferable attention seeker but the rest should be taxed out of existence too.

It's morally indefensible to hold more wealth than you could reasonably spend in a lifetime and no matter how much you fan boys lick his boots, Musk ain't going to share his 200+ billion fortune with ye unless they're forced to by proper tax policies.

End Twitters dependency on advertising, their primary source of income? Good luck with that.

Social media likes to think it’s more essential than it actually is. Start telling people they have to pay to use it and watch it die overnight.

You're comparing apples and oranges. With a property, you pay money in and you either live in it, or benefit by renting it out. With a stock/share, you pay money in and see no benefit until you sell it, at which point you pay taxes on any gains. You also risk losing it all when the market or just the stock you invested in tanks. I would imaging the stock market would be a lot smaller if people were taxed for each gain, because they certainly wouldn't receive any breaks for the downtimes.

I do find such comments interesting. Aside from Musks wealth, what else does he hoard?

From what I know, he seems to put his wealth into businesses which are beneficial to to society as a whole....or in the case of twitter, to change it from a left wing platform to something more balanced. I don't think he owns super yachts, or F1 cars. OK, he owns a few rockets, but hasn't travelled in one yet (unless he really is an alien) 😆

Autism makes its sufferers do strange things.

Twitter could be decentralised

Maybe his retweeting of far right conspiracy theories about the far right terrorist attack that fractured the skull of an 82 year old man, and his retweeting of a nazi who is convicted of possession of child sexual abuse material led to some confusion about his plans for a neo Nazi cesspit?

It's a common enough practice to make teams redundant but then to ask some staff back on contract to complete specific projects.

It's also not uncommon for hiring to start immediately after redundancy for new positions as a company changes its focus or direction.

There's a narrative being painted here by people who hate Musk. Fairly common redundancy procedures being executed by Twitter are seemingly just another excuse to have a pop at him.
