From a purely technical perspective I'm a bit confused how this clown-car has kept going for so long, after all the slash-and-burn restructuring that's happened. Hopefully there's going to be some engineers telling the story when Musk manages to fubar it after all.
As far as I know, it was in a worse state. What Elon did since he took over is basically reducing the running costs heavily among other things.
People tend to forget Twitter never made money so far.
But that included not paying for servers, firing people and finding out later that they had irreplaceable knowledge, demanding constant crunch time from the poor sods that are left and randomly turning off "unnecessary" services.
I'd be really surprised if that made the overall state better.
The courts had BETTER fucking decide that he is personally liable to pay off the promises he made to the employees he forced or conned out.
Good
I don't think it's possible at this point to turn a profit. There is no more fat to cut and there's no one left to develop anything new. Best case is he is able to sell Twitter at a huge loss and walk away.
Who is he gonna sell it to? Nobody would want it thanks to whay he did to it.
Damn no way
oh noes!
Anyway…
Elon has not been the best.
Cutting costs by 3 billion certainly wasn’t going to turn Twitter sustainable.
Isn't his acquisition a large part of why it has such a heavy debt load in the first place?
I find it suspicious he's advertising it. There must be some personal benefit. Motivate the remaining rubes to buy the check marks? 🤔
I'm thinking it's some sort of bankruptcy ploy
