Ummm... The goals he sets are... Not good. Doesn't matter how hard you work if your hard work is destroying a company.
Yeah, I meant this more generally.
I've been with a very frugal start-up for many years and it's amazing what a small team can get done compared to larger companies.
I think the fact that Twitter is able to run with so much fewer staff probably points to how bloated they were.
I think Twitter's stock price was a huge bubble waiting to burst anyway.
Maybe things will turn around if we give X some time. I'm against platforms like what Musk is building with X, I don't like their stickiness and the fact that the walls between functions are blurred and data can consequently flow between them. They become monopolies; they begin to regulate and discriminate against their users however they see fit and ultimately leave you with little real choice.
