No. Twitter's lion share of income is advertising. The income he's gained with the blue checkmark subscriptions is far smaller than the lost in advertisement. And at the cost that that checkmark has now changed meaning from 'this person is verified' to 'this person pays Twitter'.
I am sorry but we have chosen to organise the society in a way where the Employee does all the Effort while the Owner just sits pretty and collects the Profit. Do not blame E.M. for embracing the nature of the society we have chosen to organise. We should be grateful that he puts on the Employee hat from time to time to help the other Employees.
unpopular opinion: i'm a fan of the work ethic. it gets boring seeing everyone overworry about eachothers feelings. "oh my bossed yelled at me so im going to record him and get him fired" and then that same person will go to mcdonalds and curse out the drive through highschool girl because somebody forgot the fries. i think its refreshing to see hardcore work being demanded outside of oil rig jobs. its nobody in these comments including myself would make the cut for elons team, so the amount of people complaining about said team doesn't matter.
Yeah I completely agree. People are getting mad, but look at how much the world enjoys his products. I mean Elon Musk has quite literally arrested the entire globe, from Twitter to Paypal to Tesla to SpaceX: nobody can deny what’s being pumped out through his life. Yet, people get mad that he’s demanding such high standards. I definitely wouldn’t make the cut to work for him. Most of this generation is lazing around but expecting output greater than the input. THANK GOD Elon is being straight up about the work ethic it took and is still taking for him to be at the top. It’s refreshing, and it’s a wake up call. This is simply what it takes to be impactful and influential across the entire globe. It’s hard to hear and uncomfortable to hear, but it’s the truth. We would all love to be in his shoes with the results he has and the celebrations, but we would NOT like to work as hard as him. Unfortunately, (even talking to myself here), that’s just not how life works.
I'm self employed and I work 6 days a week for about 10hrs a day, with about 3-4hrs of that been deep focus and the rest is lighter activities. I would never work those hours for someone else. On my own company I have no issues working whatever hours a I need to but I would never put those hours and passion in for someone elses company that they get credit for. I also don't expect people working for me to have the same passion I do for my own company.

Welcome to the world, wether you work at popeyes, walmart, construction, truckying It MAKES ME SOO MAD, when these little people are complaining and yet getting paid more than 100 k!!! A construction worker has to work 15 hours until the project is done every day! Is absurd that these people complain! Even when i worked at a burger joint! I worked from 8 am to 7 pm and my body was hurting. I still had to clock in the next morning is insane! That they are complaining
@@mateoleon524 You sound so traumatised. What you are talking about sounds abusive and like you have Stockholm syndrome. You were being exploited and you seem thankful for that. The life you describe is not a life that anyone else would aspire to. One's purpose in life is not to fulfil the dreams of your CEO. It is to fulfil your dreams. You sell your labour to them in a free market, not your soul. Wanting to have a balanced life is not shameful in the slightest no matter what uber-capitalists think. And everyone I know who has made lots of money uses that money to put their life in balance as soon as they get a chance. The ones who don't are incredibly boring and only think about money and they invariably alienate anyone who really cared for them. I have seen it more times than I can count. I'm from London and there are a tremendous amount of wealthy people here and we see the other side of wealth here all the time. The wealthy who OD, commit suicide, become depressed, suffer burnout, leave their careers, or seriously ill because of work and the stress it causes. Capitalism promised everything but it delivered very little in the way of happiness for the masses. We are ready or readying for capitalism 2.0 which is not wealth-focused but happiness-focused.
I could see it as a great sort of bootcamp for someone who is young and will benefit from learning and training. For someone who is more advanced there would need to be comparable financial compensation for the effort otherwise I don't see how giving your life for someone else to get all the credit is a desirable thing to do. This is why I prefer to be self-employed. I was sick of giving all my passion and hardwork and extra hours and the rewards go to someone else.
Working 80 hours in tech is not exactly uncommon - Elon Musk is just upfront about it. Honestly, I'm surprised that such an 'elite' company like Twitter had developers who worked only 4 hours a week. I doubt they're great programmers - programming languages change the whole time - and the best programmers constantly work to improve their portfolios. It's a never-ending learning journey when you're a programmer aiming to earn the big bucks.
i thought about being a programmer but now it just seems toxic as hell. long hours and learning after work? jobs like this are not made for human. i hope ai replace it soon
@@Dave_of_Mordor... In part I think like you about the programing but... old lenguages like cobol there are big ofert , people receiving many money and is an old lenguage or programming . The news technologies going to remove , change for IA, but the logic of programming, the analitic part will survive for a more time .
I think all this "Musk worked long hours at Tesla" is going to have to be backed up by something concrete in the lawsuit about his compensation. I doubt highly he worked as hard or as long hours as the engineers he didn't fire. But still made sure to underpay and stress the fuck out of them.
And then there are those who automated a large portion of their work till only 4 hour/week is needed, whom he just fired. There's a difference between working hard and working smart.....
Again… the employees are free agents… free to resign or take severance. People keep saying that these Twitter employees are so talented and could get a job easily anywhere else so it’s a win-win situation for them to just take 3 month severance and hop to another job that pays 200-300k a year to work a few hours a week, incl free lunches, wine on tap, activism t-shirts and remote work. The truth is that not everyone has Musk’s drive and work ethics, but there are enough people who like that kind of intensity for a period of their lives for whatever salary is on offer by his companies. Hence there are people working in SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink, etc. He doesnt need them for life, he just needs them for the agreed contract. There will always be someone else to take over the job if someone moves in to another less intensity job.
I'm not a Twitter user so I don't really know 100% how the platform works and how often it updates. I do agree with Elon on how he wants the best workers and wants employees to actually work, instead of halfassing it everyday because the workplace culture is laid back. A company like Twitter should have employees who feel privileged to be there
One has to ask himself - whats in it for the employees? I dont mind to work hard, but to work yourself to the bones risking a potential burnout - it had better come with amazing rewards. I cant see where these rewards are for the twitter workers? Do they get a base salary 10x that of other FANG companies? Bonuses 10x other companies? Sure, monetary rewards isnt everything you could be in it to make great connections, but I cant see what those would be either. It sounds like a sucker bet where you will burn yourself out working at a low level tier social media platform for a good, but not great salary. Im sure some younger people will let themselves be fooled by this kind of ”work hard” talks, but most ppl with some personal experience wont be very impressed
"This means working long hours at high intensity." All while at the end of the day, one person becomes tens of billions of dollars richer, and the 3000 other people putting in almost as much work make $50K a year Not to criticize Musk, just saying.
200-250k / 52 weeks / (40+40*1.5) = 38.5-48/hour So you're telling me ~4-5x minimum wage = 2.5x working hours + extreme talents? Sorry if I calculated wrongly. I'm no American.
Elon Musk is bluff master. He works 25 hours a day and still get time to act in dozens of movies and series, participate in youtube podcasts and have affair with multiple celebrities and colleague.
A lot of people work really hard, i love this channel but Elon isn't the one working hard the people are, every company he's worked at he was eventually had to get out of there because the companies were facing losses, he didn't found tesla he bought it, he's a man with a lot of money a good businessman but the people who work for him are the real MVP's who invested years into perfecting their skills, there are legit articles that claim that people had to rewrite the entire code that Elon used to write because it wasn't good enough in terms of time and memory eventually causing system to perform slow. Imagine 238 million users paying double the money they used to pay before of course he'll make twitter profitable that's what businessmen do, but in terms of breakthroughs and being visionary he's never making that list.
Here is the thing, without Elon spacex wouldn’t exist, falcon 9 wouldn’t exist, Tesla in all likelihood wouldn’t exist by now, starlink wouldn’t exist, humans are not a hive mind, even if you have a brilliant engineer chances are they cannot research the machine, develop the machine, write coding for the machine, mass produce the machine, transport and maintain the machine. This doesn’t just happen out of nowhere, Elon made it all work, without him the world quite literally wouldn’t be where it is.
That's what you call a actual leader... A leader takes people and make something incredible...that's his job.... Obviously how the hell one person can make that much progress?? Companies do..
@@Mrbfgray bro, that's the norm in tech, if these individuals are smart enough to carry Twitter on their shoulders and are capable of 100 hour work weeks, they should start their own companies and be millionaires instead
@@bevvy.bee9 Starting your own company is infinitely harder and usually fails, at least a few times before the few eventually succeed, most give up losing everything and starting over. Tesla has created a 'million' millionaires including many workers via stock options, Twits 2.0 probably don't have investment opportunity until eventual IPO.
@@Mrbfgray again, if I was putting in 100 hour work weeks, the risk is worth it, Elon said it himself, Tesla won't be alive without all that work, I believe talented engineers could pull it off
Why would anyone want to work for him, when is presumable removing some of the employees' privledges without any extra pay? Correct me if I am wrong, assuming the Twitter employees who are now gonna be doubling their hours, and losing work-at-home plus free food perks are going to be paid more? Because if not, then Musk and his 200 billion dollars can go away, I would never want to work for him.
Precisely. If you are one of the best software engineers in the industry, you probably were not working at Twitter to begin with. However, if you were, you're probably not going to be sticking around. For that matter, if you are another company who hires software engineers, you're going to have your talent acquisition team working overtime to poach from Twitter.
I laugh at the people that think slaving away your youth for someone else, completely neglecting all relationships in your life is a worth it encounter. I hate the people that attack others for choosing not to work under these conditions and defend billionaires and worship them, like the Elon Musk fanboys.
Why do none of these reports about Elon and Twitter mention salary/compensation changes? Nobody in the pool of “top talent” is going to switch from a 40 hour week with free meals/snacks to a 100+ hour week with no perks UNLESS their compensation package is changed to match. 🙄
100% the idea that those willing to hang around and get bent over constitute the 'best' is truly hilarious. Those that knew their worth moved on, those thankful to have a job, any job stayed...
i got a feeling that many fanbois who celebrate his sadistic treatment of employees might have a chance to meet their idol. and learn why it's usually not a good thing.
In many countries it is illegal to force people to work 80 hours per week. I guess people in USA just don't have the same rights and freedoms as in other countries.
Overpaid under worked employee complains about someone on his team he thinks doesn't contribute enough to the project. Guy's there every day 12 hours a day. Complained to the boss and the boss told him " he is paid minimum wage and worked on projects off the clock many hours a week to add value to what he is being paid" " How much do I pay you?"
Dude is talking about video calling as the 'next big thing' for Twitter. It's a joke. He didn't want to buy Twitter in the first place. Why don't people see that? He's been clear about his intentions. He wanted to manipulate Twitter's stock price. That's it. That's illegal so to make the SEC think he's simply interested in the company he offered to buy it. He tried to back out. He was refused. He was taken to court to honor the deal. Literally why is half or more of the world oblivious to this? He bought Twitter to destroy the company because by and large, people like Musk don't use it. People he hates use it.

Weather you think who are left are top engineers or not, but wow what a reduction in bots and spam! Not one post about doge under musk's replies! Twitter is now unable!
Don't work Hard, work Smart. He basically want you to work until you feel Despair. Imagine every Human work like that, we Human probably won't Exist long.
if youre a 21 year old codingwiz then have a blast! if you are 35+ you have the risk of having no relationship ouside of work. not with their own parents or friends or kids. these are the folks that get divorced. most of them burn out. some of them not.

Being a slave is annoying, especially when you don't report to your master. Just wait, guys. We are a slave nation. They don't tell us this, or we would loosen our chains and curses. They like to send someone over if you fight back or nail you in other ways. I know I sound like a psychotic person (not currently), and it took 100s of hours, school, cycling for hours, as that was my mode of commuting I had to do, and sadly my body and mind failed me. In the army, in the ER, my doctor said, "there's nothing left of her." They will send, like I said, these people and basically be like, what are you going to do? They squeeze us and then throw us away. Elon Musk looks too healthy to be under that much sleep deprivation and stress.
The 40 hour work week already appears to exceed the optimum number of working hours for creative jobs like many programmers and engineers have you can certainly get more work done by doubling your hours you just aren't going to double your output.
@@DisasterxUs We see his clear flaws whereas you guys buy his BS, that is the difference. People like him, Trump, Peterson, Rogan, Tate, pretend they are Superman but they are closer to Conman.
The top talent he hopes to acquire and retain are going to demand a huge upside for the efforts he demands. He won’t get the best of the best at an average salary. They are much smarter than that. What kind of compensation is he offering to those he deems worthy of staying? If he expects a monumental effort from the best of the best - their potential upside is also going to have to be pretty monumental. Nobody is going to be willing to put in the effort he demands so that they can make Elon rich. Surely he must realize that?

It's not for common people..its only for those who really wanna work on very hardcore technologies... Any person who has made improvements and advancements in human kind didn't had work-life balance..
surprised me that despite being overworked and not getting enough sleep, their brain can still work for innovation. I remember when i was in school, being drowsy makes it difficult for me to understand lessons in our math class. I used to think that working long hours should only apply to a work that doesnt need much of thinking but rather reaching a quota.
work like hell..from the man who is constantly on twitter many hours per day..doing tv and podcasts you tube videos and flying to any conference who will listen to him ....sheesh right
There are so many high-paying & chill companies out there for the majority of people to work for. But if you want to be part of Elon's mission and his companies, you work extra hard, that's your choice, I see 0 issue here
@@quadeong7453 there is no shame. This whole thing is controversial because people think it's bad that Elon runs his company this way. There is nothing wrong with it. If there are people willing to follow Elon and Twitter on their journey up or down, good for them. Great things are built through hard work and sacrifices.
I totally agree with the concept of hard work and putting 100% of effort while you are at work....but working at least 80hrs a week? In other words "live to work"? I wouldn't mind extended hrs once in a while when a critical milestone due date is approaching and you wanna make sure your work is "polished". But doing that on a constant basis? What is the point of living then?
if Twitter want to be as good as wechat, just move Twitter to China or have all china software engineers.. NO social media from the western world is anything near wechat.. the amount of function wechat can perform is mind blowing, while Twitter is "bird taking"...
so need to work extremely hard, need to come to office, and lost perks, what's in for the employees ? 3x higher salary than peers ? surely the compensation must meet the expectations

If you sat down and read everything Leibniz wrote on paper you would read for 8 hours per day for twenty years. Shockley was crazy driven and many like them (Newton for example) worked from sunrise to sunset. I enjoyed it when I was young but I didn't have any family responsibilities but as you age it gets tougher. There are people I've worked with that actually believe they are working hard (and stressed) but really don't contribute anything.
@@rockpadstudios I cannot do that sort of hyperfocussed work for hours and hours and only really manage in the days prior to an exam and also thanks to ADHD medication. But even if I COULD sit down and work for hours upon hours all the time, well... I wouldn't want to. I prefer connecting with other humans and having fun together; whether that be sports, hanging out, or other more psychoactive endeavours. On a more general note, society developed progressed so much since the 70's/80's (assuming you're about 40) and with it so has the life of the average student. University students nowadays are subjected to so much more stress from all angles-with more expected output, productivity and aspects of life to have in check. I would bet my left nut that when comparing the life of a university course nowadays with the "same" one from 30 years ago, the former would be found to be harder on the psychophysiological front.
@@BiggMo Nope. It's just that I do not have sufficient concentrations of neurotransitters in my frontal lobe to carry out a task like that. It's a big downside of ADHD-PI
lol back then twitter employees are so bloated, most of them go to work to vlog, doing day in a life of a twitter software engineer, sipping coffee, free lunch and that's it.
It's one thing to build a company with a certain work ethos. It's another to lay that work ethos onto a n existing company. If the work ethos is too different, it will never transition. You'll have to break down the company completely and start anew.
I 100% agree, and it appears that is what's trying to do. I have no idea if he can pull it off, but he's pretty much right it's a software/server company at it's core. The rest can be built up around a new philosophy.
Can someone please make a meme out of Elon carrying the sink, if that s not a bad sign when you just spent 44 billion dollars on something and you, the guy that spent the money, is hauling in a sink(wtf!?!) Into your new building,that can't be a good sign. There's no way that sink couldn't somehow of been put in the contract.
Coming from a person who spends so much time on twitter as Elon it must be painful to hear. I used to work “hard” to the point I sometimes peed a bit in my pants because I had no time to go to the loo… it’s the most stupid way to work. It’s not productive, it gets you nowhere except being constantly used by your bosses and you miss on life. Totally NOT worth it. Most architects work like this - Hadid was known to employ couples so they stay longer together in the office. Heatherwick is a workaholic who expects others to be like him. Sick people using others giving nothing in return. I despise Elon and him alike. I will never own a Tesla even if given for “free” or invest in such company. Promoting slavery should not be rewarded. In any way.

Just saying.
All of those have been created before although most of them are unneficient, that's the reason why come out of earth cost a fortune, and we keep using the same engines for car's industry
I think the thing you're missing is there's a big difference between self contained systems and those deployed on the scale Twitter is. You're not a programmer, but I am.

People that work from home hopefully, have less distractions than his open office settings. He is just a hypocrite. He says you don't need a degree for him to hire someone. Maybe he needs Neuralink to help him manage his thoughts. He is annoying.
The "genius" strikes again. How can he be that gullible regarding hard work when there are multiple studies showing that too much work is counterproductive..
Amazing content as always. Well the thing is every tech companies does this but in a way that it is not evident. Elon does the opposite, he is right at your face. Being in the Tech industries for so many years, working for different companies we have experienced this first hand. Elon is just Vocal about it and if you think about it, he is not wrong.
I'm really didn't get it yet.... I mean im a big fan of this channel and I've been watching videos for 2 yrs now especially the videos they've made on biography of scientists, but sometimes it feel that this channel is fully dedicated to ELON MUSK .... Like im not saying that it's wrong but releasing every second video on ELON or TESLA makes it little boring and puts the cap on creativity. *** no offense *** I just shared the things that i really do feel. But except all that the content is awesome 👍👍👍 appropriate it.
I'm glad we have Elon Musk to push things forward, but in glad I don't work for him. I wish he didn't buy Twitter it's taking up too much of his time when he should be concentrating on Tesla and SpaceX.
This was such an inspiring video. Stoped feeling sorry for myself and raised my own standards. Elon musk has extremely high standards and only those who want to operate at elite levels will run with him. Life is short. He has chosen the pack he wants to run with. You are free to choose yours.
Lord Roger Bacon here. Well, I doubt I was one of the first 200 but purchased immediately upon viewing this video. Would love to be a part of the Newsthink Kingdom :-) As far as the video, my parents owned a small motel and restaurant so my brother, sister and I have an unusual work ethic which we learned by example. It wasn't until I started my own company and started hiring people that I realized what an unusual work ethic I had. I honestly felt like I came from a different planet because no one else was like me. When I found another unusual person to work for me I would fight tooth and nail to keep them on board. When I hear people whine about Elon my immediate reaction is, then you go start your own company and see how you like it, cause it ain't for the faint of heart. Only the driven, obsessed, with a strong work ethic, survive. When you own a company there is a Great responsibility to provide an income for your employees so they can house and feed their families. That is a huge burden so you must keep your company as lean as possible to ensure that you can provide for those employees.
See, that's all well and good... If you own the company, or are emotionally or financially invested in it enough that you care whether it performs well or not. In my opinion, unless I own the company, am otherwise invested in it, or like the workplace, I couldn't give a shit so long as the paycheck arrives.
I'm great with working 'Hard Core'. So, Elon, all I need is Hard Core Pay & Benefits. I'm a Capitalist, too. Otherwise, I'm with the comment below this one.

Wanting to have a balanced life is not shameful in the slightest no matter what uber-capitalists think. And everyone I know who has made lots of money uses that money to put their life in balance as soon as they get a chance. The ones who don't are incredibly boring and only think about money and they invariably alienate anyone who really cared for them. I have seen it more times than I can count.
I'm from London and there are a tremendous amount of wealthy people here and we see the other side of wealth here all the time. The wealthy who OD, commit suicide, become depressed, suffer burnout, leave their careers, or seriously ill because of work and the stress it causes.
Capitalism promised everything but it delivered very little in the way of happiness for the masses. We are ready or readying for capitalism 2.0 which is not wealth-focused but happiness-focused.

Just like Apple
Just like him. He sleeps at Twitter so the Employees are expected to as well.
I could see it as a great sort of bootcamp for someone who is young and will benefit from learning and training. For someone who is more advanced there would need to be comparable financial compensation for the effort otherwise I don't see how giving your life for someone else to get all the credit is a desirable thing to do. This is why I prefer to be self-employed. I was sick of giving all my passion and hardwork and extra hours and the rewards go to someone else.
Working 80 hours in tech is not exactly uncommon - Elon Musk is just upfront about it. Honestly, I'm surprised that such an 'elite' company like Twitter had developers who worked only 4 hours a week. I doubt they're great programmers - programming languages change the whole time - and the best programmers constantly work to improve their portfolios. It's a never-ending learning journey when you're a programmer aiming to earn the big bucks.
i thought about being a programmer but now it just seems toxic as hell. long hours and learning after work? jobs like this are not made for human. i hope ai replace it soon

He's tweeting as much now as he always has.
I think all this "Musk worked long hours at Tesla" is going to have to be backed up by something concrete in the lawsuit about his compensation. I doubt highly he worked as hard or as long hours as the engineers he didn't fire. But still made sure to underpay and stress the fuck out of them.
And then there are those who automated a large portion of their work till only 4 hour/week is needed, whom he just fired.
There's a difference between working hard and working smart.....
Again… the employees are free agents… free to resign or take severance. People keep saying that these Twitter employees are so talented and could get a job easily anywhere else so it’s a win-win situation for them to just take 3 month severance and hop to another job that pays 200-300k a year to work a few hours a week, incl free lunches, wine on tap, activism t-shirts and remote work.
The truth is that not everyone has Musk’s drive and work ethics, but there are enough people who like that kind of intensity for a period of their lives for whatever salary is on offer by his companies.
Hence there are people working in SpaceX, Tesla, Starlink, etc.
He doesnt need them for life, he just needs them for the agreed contract. There will always be someone else to take over the job if someone moves in to another less intensity job.
@@mookingbird And he will always have his boot licking incel fanboys.
I'm not a Twitter user so I don't really know 100% how the platform works and how often it updates. I do agree with Elon on how he wants the best workers and wants employees to actually work, instead of halfassing it everyday because the workplace culture is laid back. A company like Twitter should have employees who feel privileged to be there
One has to ask himself - whats in it for the employees? I dont mind to work hard, but to work yourself to the bones risking a potential burnout - it had better come with amazing rewards. I cant see where these rewards are for the twitter workers? Do they get a base salary 10x that of other FANG companies? Bonuses 10x other companies? Sure, monetary rewards isnt everything you could be in it to make great connections, but I cant see what those would be either. It sounds like a sucker bet where you will burn yourself out working at a low level tier social media platform for a good, but not great salary. Im sure some younger people will let themselves be fooled by this kind of ”work hard” talks, but most ppl with some personal experience wont be very impressed
Yes, thats what Musk is missing from his motivational speech: that if he works hard it doubles tripples his fortune, yet employees are not.
Great storyteling and amazing channel! Keep it up! Greetings from Serbia! 🙏👏❤
"This means working long hours at high intensity."
All while at the end of the day, one person becomes tens of billions of dollars richer, and the 3000 other people putting in almost as much work make $50K a year
Not to criticize Musk, just saying.
true
It's rly not worth it
Nope--these sort in this region are making more like 200/$250k per yr. and they have no risk, he has all the risk.
200-250k / 52 weeks / (40+40*1.5) = 38.5-48/hour
So you're telling me ~4-5x minimum wage = 2.5x working hours + extreme talents?
Sorry if I calculated wrongly. I'm no American.
That's how capitalism works wage slave.

Agree he's a freak. Just counting 8 hours sleep, there's only 112 hour/week left.
A lot of people work really hard, i love this channel but Elon isn't the one working hard the people are, every company he's worked at he was eventually had to get out of there because the companies were facing losses,
he didn't found tesla he bought it, he's a man with a lot of money a good businessman but the people who work for him are the real MVP's who invested years into perfecting their skills, there are legit articles that claim that people had to rewrite the entire code that Elon used to write because it wasn't good enough in terms of time and memory eventually causing system to perform slow. Imagine 238 million users paying double the money they used to pay before of course he'll make twitter profitable that's what businessmen do, but in terms of breakthroughs and being visionary he's never making that list.
Here is the thing, without Elon spacex wouldn’t exist, falcon 9 wouldn’t exist, Tesla in all likelihood wouldn’t exist by now, starlink wouldn’t exist, humans are not a hive mind, even if you have a brilliant engineer chances are they cannot research the machine, develop the machine, write coding for the machine, mass produce the machine, transport and maintain the machine. This doesn’t just happen out of nowhere, Elon made it all work, without him the world quite literally wouldn’t be where it is.
You should try taking risk in your life. If you did you will not be here complaining about him.
That's what you call a actual leader...
A leader takes people and make something incredible...that's his job....

Why would anyone want to work for him, when is presumable removing some of the employees' privledges without any extra pay? Correct me if I am wrong, assuming the Twitter employees who are now gonna be doubling their hours, and losing work-at-home plus free food perks are going to be paid more? Because if not, then Musk and his 200 billion dollars can go away, I would never want to work for him.
Precisely. If you are one of the best software engineers in the industry, you probably were not working at Twitter to begin with. However, if you were, you're probably not going to be sticking around. For that matter, if you are another company who hires software engineers, you're going to have your talent acquisition team working overtime to poach from Twitter.
Alot of tech companies are removing perks because of the recession
I laugh at the people that think slaving away your youth for someone else, completely neglecting all relationships in your life is a worth it encounter. I hate the people that attack others for choosing not to work under these conditions and defend billionaires and worship them, like the Elon Musk fanboys.
Why do none of these reports about Elon and Twitter mention salary/compensation changes? Nobody in the pool of “top talent” is going to switch from a 40 hour week with free meals/snacks to a 100+ hour week with no perks UNLESS their compensation package is changed to match. 🙄
Imo whatever changes to compensation package, is not going to pro rata with his own.
Exactly!
100% the idea that those willing to hang around and get bent over constitute the 'best' is truly hilarious. Those that knew their worth moved on, those thankful to have a job, any job stayed...

In many countries it is illegal to force people to work 80 hours per week. I guess people in USA just don't have the same rights and freedoms as in other countries.
These people want it. watch the video carefully. You can resign if you want and work 20 hours a week in factory. Free choice.
Overpaid under worked employee complains about someone on his team he thinks doesn't contribute enough to the project. Guy's there every day 12 hours a day. Complained to the boss and the boss told him " he is paid minimum wage and worked on projects off the clock many hours a week to add value to what he is being paid" " How much do I pay you?"
I think he's tearing down twitter to build it up his way. I wouldn't want to work for him but I bet he will end up being successful.
Dude is talking about video calling as the 'next big thing' for Twitter. It's a joke. He didn't want to buy Twitter in the first place. Why don't people see that? He's been clear about his intentions. He wanted to manipulate Twitter's stock price. That's it. That's illegal so to make the SEC think he's simply interested in the company he offered to buy it. He tried to back out. He was refused. He was taken to court to honor the deal. Literally why is half or more of the world oblivious to this? He bought Twitter to destroy the company because by and large, people like Musk don't use it. People he hates use it.

Coming from a person who spends so much time on twitter as Elon it must be painful to hear. I used to work “hard” to the point I sometimes peed a bit in my pants because I had no time to go to the loo… it’s the most stupid way to work. It’s not productive, it gets you nowhere except being constantly used by your bosses and you miss on life. Totally NOT worth it. Most architects work like this - Hadid was known to employ couples so they stay longer together in the office. Heatherwick is a workaholic who expects others to be like him. Sick people using others giving nothing in return. I despise Elon and him alike. I will never own a Tesla even if given for “free” or invest in such company. Promoting slavery should not be rewarded. In any way.

When I hear people whine about Elon my immediate reaction is, then you go start your own company and see how you like it, cause it ain't for the faint of heart. Only the driven, obsessed, with a strong work ethic, survive. When you own a company there is a Great responsibility to provide an income for your employees so they can house and feed their families. That is a huge burden so you must keep your company as lean as possible to ensure that you can provide for those employees.
See, that's all well and good... If you own the company, or are emotionally or financially invested in it enough that you care whether it performs well or not. In my opinion, unless I own the company, am otherwise invested in it, or like the workplace, I couldn't give a shit so long as the paycheck arrives.
Thank you for the recommendation, My Lady! And I am now a Lord. :)
Who is judging who?
I'm great with working 'Hard Core'. So, Elon, all I need is Hard Core Pay & Benefits. I'm a Capitalist, too. Otherwise, I'm with the comment below this one.
Working long hour are for CEOs and owners. Hire more employees. People have lives.
