I think that may not be accurate given what I've heard other people (eg Andrej Karpathy, folks from SpaceX) say about him.He's just a dumb kid
I'm pleased others see the flaw in the boring company - that you need a second tunnel for service and emergency vehicles, some way of sealing off sections and so forth. The scary thought of an accident and a Tesla battery going up with its toxic fumes.....
I would be positively chuffed if it disappeared and took Facebook and most other “social” media platforms with it…With reference to the title of this thread and I appreciate I may well be in a very small minority but I'm going to ask the question anyway, 'cos I'm genuinely interested: Is there anyone else on the forum who just couldn't give a toss about Twitter or whether it survives or not?
I don’t care about Twitter persay, but I do care about it being a constant distraction for Elon. I also care that he has really leaned into being an edgelord since he took over. Pretty much every decision he has made has attracted wide opprobrium.With reference to the title of this thread and I appreciate I may well be in a very small minority but I'm going to ask the question anyway, 'cos I'm genuinely interested: Is there anyone else on the forum who just couldn't give a toss about Twitter or whether it survives or not?
Whilst I agree with you in principle, people are allowed their opinions. I very much doubt he listens to them anyway…I just find it interesting how triggered people are on how Musk has decided to run a company he owns. Employees demanding the owner to do X, Y, and Z is laughable… they deserved to receive the ultimatum to get to work or quit. These workers apparently never heard the “There ain't no such thing as a free lunch” saying.

From first-hand experience*, I'd proffer that developers are absolute divas and are pandered to.These workers apparently never heard the “There ain't no such thing as a free lunch” saying.
I worked with (not for) a company called Pivotal, which was bought out by VMware. The catch is that folks pair-program (two people working on one computer, with two keyboards and two mice) which is really, really mentally and socially demanding but leads to higher-quality code. So there was an element of compensating for the high demands.Jesus, who do you work for???
There are others who would agree with what I've said. Ignoring any opinions he's done some monumentally dumb things, one of which we're all enjoying watching right now.I think that may not be accurate given what I've heard other people (eg Andrej Karpathy, folks from SpaceX) say about him.
99% of developers don't work in those kind of FAANG jobs where they get that sort of stuff. Those things only exist to attract the best talent (not to mention the hoops needed to jump through to get in these jobs) and to keep their staff in the office as long as possible. Why go home when you can get breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. at work, meanwhile you're spending 18 hours there. Some of us don't see this as a perk, or the salaries which require you to live in some of the most expensive areas in the world anyway.From first-hand experience*, I'd proffer that developers are absolute divas and are pandered to.
This is the crux of why this matters outside the investors roundtable and the only part that is of any interest to me personally, too.Pretty soon the way this is all carrying on the association with him will bleed over into simple Tesla owners, with us getting flak for “supporting his regime”
this is very good point.There are others who would agree with what I've said. Ignoring any opinions he's done some monumentally dumb things, one of which we're all enjoying watching right now.

Last place I worked at that had a break room with a pool table, etc. you'd get chewed out if you were caught actually using it. It was just there to show potential new hires.
Tech is well overdue a crash but the best devs will still be pandered to on some level. Suggest you try get a dev job if you're jealous.
