Who manages you? Do you think employees of Elon dont know he is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX? My son and I both recently got called by recruiter for Uline? We laughed at the recruiter.

Oh, that’s gonna fix it.
Just my prediction coming true, including my prediction of Elon's reaction to what's happening. Here is what I posted on another forum in a thread with the same general topic. Note the date.
Cesspool of conspiracy theories and hate speech. Check.
Elon, new owner of Twitter, spreading lies conspiracy theories himself. Check.
Advertisers starting to flee. Check.
Elon bitching that he's being "canceled". Yep.
LOL, I could have told Elon this was coming months ago. Certainly way before the deal even closed. Look, Elon's the owner of Twitter and he can do whatever he wants with it. Unlike at Tesla, he doesn't even have to answer to shareholders. And he has free speech under the laws just like everyone else, including the right to say legal but distasteful things. But that freedom of speech does not mean he can say whatever he want without (non-legal) consequences, like advertisers wanting to have nothing to do with what he's saying.

It's the same 'crap' as before (no changes to moderation or policy have been made yet), so what you are saying makes zero sense.

My company always had great retention. Then I sold to a national firm and stayed on running the Chicago office. I continued to have great retention. Software engineering business. I blew away the other offices in the country when it came to retention. Why? I treated my staff great. I cared about commutes, I cared about sending them across the country. I didnt squeeze pennies. Squeeze pennies and quarters slip through fingers. Also because of this we had great results when it came to giving money and time away when consultants left. Instead of giving clients free time with a replacement I didnt need to replace.
It's been a cesspool practically since day 1. I have an account on there but haven't logged into it in I don't know how long. I've sent out exactly 0 tweets over the life of the account.

Pertinent to this thread, from the main investors thread. Elon is in a live Q&A with Ron Barron:

BoD and investors. And apparently, he hasn't yet crossed a line that they don't like.
YOU KNOW this, you are just baiting an arguement.
Are you sure. Do you know that no people that do content moderation are being let go? Do you know if any have simply left? Do you know if anything has been turned off? Do you think that advertisers haven't listened to what Elon has said and don't see the writing on the wall? I mean come on don't be so naïve. His very post confirms that he plans to if not already has started letting the twitter cesspool become even worse.

Elon literally tweeted about this yesterday. He said NOTHING with content moderation has changed at this time.
It's all FUD being spread around at this point.
EDIT - he even just mentioned it again in the interview with Ron Barron, that they have been suspending tons of hate-spewing accounts that popped up in the past week.

It's an older tweet I thought was funny given his current situation. I don't know anything about advertising but I have to imagine there's a large "vibes" component and the vibes on Twitter these days are not great. I'm sure the morale of the employees at Twitter who sell ads is also not great.
Here's another good one:
Elon thinks an exercise of free speech (people voicing opinions to advertisers) is a violation of free speech.
I'm not sure he could pass a Civics 101 class.
EDIT - who is "they?" Very easy to play the victim when you can't define whoever is supposedly trying to suppress your speech.
Are you admitting that at work you are political and dont keep LGBTQ views to yourself like you say employees should? Maybe you do keep your political views to yourself. That isnt a bad idea. The point is that if management does share political views they can turn off employees and recruits and cause them to think about leaving or not even apply. It isnt a bad thing to keep stuff like that to yourself.
It's interesting seeing the confirmation bias from both the supporters of the deal and the opponents. One group is saying "it's already so much better" and the other is saying "this is ridiculously bad."

The problem is that Elon has been quite bad at communicating this and what the $8 charge is about. Many don't think you can still tweet for free.
