Poor form from Musk, sacking all those employees without warning

He said for a while now there would be layoffs. Talk had been up to 75%.

8,000 employees would love to see a breakdown of which areas had the most employees sacked.

There needs to be more support of LGBTs on social media.

By which I of course mean Landlords, Gamers, Billionaires and Trolls.

Definitely the activists. Totally not the fact he had to be sued to buy the company, his bizarrely "making it up as he goes along" plan to alienate the most powerful users, nor his tweeting out conspiracy theories about Paul Pelosi. And now threatening a "thermonuclear name and shame" of advertisers who drop out - exactly what advertisers love to hear. Clearly not an incredibly stupid man.

Lol

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Sacking the workforce then seeing what actually breaks is a cruel but effective way to clean out the useless middle management paper shufflers.

Blaming others is a much more palatable outcome for Musk than admitting that advertisers are unsure of him personally and the direction he might choose to take Twitter.

cruel but effective

Expensive and risky?

If they come back I wonder if they keep the 3 months payout.

But its described as "dozens" out of 3,500. Probably not bad.

Though its been 3 days. It may be hundreds within the next few weeks.

That said, a sign of how poor US employment standards are.

The warning from a US regulator came as Mr Musk reportedly warned bankruptcy is not out of the question for Twitter.

So the $8 blue tick has been dropped 24 hours after going live, after Eli Lilly lost $20 billion US because of a fake tweet.

You're right Bruce, this is funny.

Surely selling blue ticks to thousands of people and then taking it away is something like fraud?

I'm sure there was something in the word tsunami of a contract that covers that (I'm assuming there was one). If enough people reverse the charge through their credit card companies, it could lock Twitter out of receiving funds for a while though.

Surely getting $8 per troll would be a good business model. Its not Twitter's fault that morons dumped their shares in a greedy arseh*le company after people found out they may no longer be greedy arseholes.

wtf are you on about with shares?

Elon bought the company, it's now private. As such it was delisted from the stock exchanges.
