Elon & Twitter

[ElectricIAC]

It’s possible he’s trying to insulate his loved ones from the friction/blowback that’s building up between him and the establishment.

On that note, Anyone seen the security team he rolls with? Pretty wild.

I’m glad you find my posts engaging enough to make use of the laugh reaction. Glad to see someone in the TSLAQ safe space thread has a sense of humor!

Amazing alacrity. I think I can see the light of consciousness at the end of the tunnel.

Elon Musk’s reach on Twitter is dropping — he just fired a top engineer over it

Elon Musk’s reach on Twitter is dropping — he just fired a top engineer over it

“It’s chaos here right now, so we’re shipping chaos.”

On Tuesday, Musk gathered a group of engineers and advisors into a room at Twitter’s headquarters looking for answers. Why are his engagement numbers tanking?

Wait...so Elon called a meeting because his engagement numbers were tanking? Not because the company's metrics were tanking, but because his numbers were tanking? The engineers should have quit on the spot and told Elon to go F himself. Elon's stupid numbers could tank but as long as the company is making a bigger profit, that is what matters. Not Elon's personal numbers. Now I suppose you could argue that since Twitter isn't publicly traded and Elon is the owner, he could define its mission as being "whatever Elon wants". But companies whose owners use their companies to try to support their own personal interests instead of the interests of the company generally don't do too well. There was a company called Fry's Electronics which the owners apparently used to support their gambling habits. We never got a look at its financials because it wasn't required to ever show them but it's defunct now.

The only engineers left are H1-B and they will get deported if they quit. It's kinda like slave labor at this point.

The hyperbole is totally unnecessary.

Indentured servitude.

Says the guy who accuses people of perjury without evidence.

 

[ElectricIAC]

Indentured servitude.

They agreed to come work for a company in exchange for a living wage and sponsorship toward a better future.

No one forced them into signing the deal.

If they quit in disgust and they put their names out there they'd probably have 5 offers on the table within 2 weeks.

Twitter engineer is confident that algorithm will be fixed as Elon stated yesterday.

Edit: almost certainly fake!

Is this even legit? I see a lot of Notion AI references but too lazy to investigate.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure but looked through tweet history and it didn’t look obviously fake.
@communitynotes please correct!

 

[ampitupco]

They were certainly forced to go #hardcore.

 

[ElectricIAC]

They were certainly forced to go #hardcore.

Or perhaps their work ethic is better than that of their US born and raised counterparts.

I see similar posts from him on other issues and if you look at his profile, he makes a lot of jokes about his identity:

Yeah pretty sure he’s fake now that I look more closely. Maybe Twitter not the best source for the truth.

You’ve just got to stop falling for stuff, like Elon does.

Just assume everything is false. It’s a good starting point.

Community Notes may not be fast enough. Once something is read as true, it cannot be falsified subsequently, unfortunately.

There should be a question mark reaction people can hit if something hits their spidey senses, but it can only be hit within the first minute of being served a given Tweet. And is only available for the first 20-30 minutes after the Tweet is Tweeted. This will just be gamed of course. Everything is stupid. Impossible to fix. What a nightmare.

It’s no way to run a company when the employees are afraid to tell the emperor that he has no clothes on. Can you imagine needing to risk being fired (and possibly deported) when providing critical feedback about something in Twitter just because Musk might not like your answer?

Elon Musk Is Reportedly Firing People Over His Own Flop Tweets

Internally, the atmosphere is tense. “When you’re asked a question, you run it through your head and say ‘what is the least fireable response I can have to this right now?'” another employee told Platformer.

This all just seems like hit pieces again. Elon is a terrible manager, we already knew that. He’s also known to be narcissistic, gullible, and impulsive. Boring. Did TSLA get too high? Yawn.

So, the guy who was fired for honestly showing Musk that he wasn’t trending very well on Google. Was his work ethic good or bad?
