      05/23/23 - Elon is regretting get rid of staff - he said, he made those choices late at night. Wants to hire some back, I read Twitter has lost 50% or its revenue and has hired Linda Yaccarino to get Corp accounts back - sounds like he made a few rash BAD business choices. I hope Corp accounts doing come back. Tweeter is useless, people with short attention spans just tweet others comments, with VERY LITTLE INSIGHTFUL PEOPLE ON TWEETER. Lets hope TWEETER goes bankrupt - its useless to the creative, inquisitive mind.

    Elon is absolutely right when he mentioned no one cared about negative events happening on the other side of the world 200 years ago. We were only concerned with negative news in our village. The issue we face today is that all news is instant and can be overwhelming. As an example, no one knew or cared about hurricanes running rampant through mostly uninhabited land half a world away 100 years ago but now, not only do we hear and see it live, we attribute it to our imminent doom as a planet.

      Musk is such an unlikely MAGA hero. He supported, then voted for Clinton in 2016. He supported Yang then voted for Biden in 2020. Then he dumped the Democrats for supporting unions and the working middle class, which cut into his bottom line. He’s pushing for an all electric auto world, including legislation to promote that. Tesla’s stock is down by half over the last several years. The part that’s doing best is partnered with the Chinese government. Half the major advertisers on Twitter quit because of him. He promised free speech, then banned Ye, Trump’s latest bromance. He rapidly turned Twitter into being as irrelevant and as nonviable as Truth Social.

    Google "Twitter staffing changes since inception". They added nearly 5000 employees starting in 2019. The number of individuals who didn't know their job, had never had a job before but we're making huge money, and sat around all day in the free cafe and restaurant were staggering
    Worse still were the employees who posted their daily routines to their accounts and both YT and TikTok.
    Of course they all had to go.

Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. But, if done alone, investing may be challenging and risky. For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.

    I know EXACTLY what Elon's talking about when it comes to ridiculously overstaffed internet companies. Back in the days of the bubble 20+ years ago, I used to work at the largest media company in my country as lead web designer of their web portal and it was both hilarious and infuriating how many people they had that did almost absolutely NOTHING (and even faked their overtime charts!), while myself and a few others actually carried the bulk of the work AND were also technical at multiple levels to multitask and do more than we had to. When I finally quit to join another company at 3X the money, it took them 2 months and 4 people to replace me and I believe they could barely keep 1 of them because they couldn't handle the work, nor they had the knowledge, skills, drive, management abilities and talent for the position. So I experienced first hand what Elon found when he performed due diligence on Twitter. Most of the large corporations are run by incompetent bozos and bean counters that have ZERO clue on who is who inside the companies they run.

      Yep I used to get little bans all the time. Ended up getting a perma a few years ago and quit, until Elon bought twitter. Redownloaded same day as I knew he'd sort that nonsense. Final straw for me was some CCP loving communist, that in their attempts of trying to tell me less people live below the poverty line in china than the UK (my country), they got infuriated and called me a balding degen. That's because in my picture I had a shaved head, which I had done for a family member with Leukemia. But the intent was, shaming for male pattern baldness. So, as a rational human being, I called them a beluga whale, for appearing to be 500 pounds in their picture. That got me perma banned. Nothing for them.
