After seeing Elon mixing up all async services that happen in backend with Android client making as many requests, I wonder if I thought this guy is smart because I know nothing about building cars or launching space rockets. Edit: "guy is smart" probably should be "guy is technically competent". I am sure Elon is smart, I think he is being Phony while acting technically competent in every area.

If they're getting good stock awards to stay, and if they think they can turn Twitter around, then there's a good chance they can make a lot of money. Now that Twitter is private the stock is going to be a lot less volatile. Work hard. Acquire users. Enter new markets. Valuation improves (once or twice a year). Cash out during a purchase offer. If I were Elon, I'd be drowning the remaining loyal employees with RSUs.

Elon literally just said that bankruptcy is a possibility for twitter in the near future. What are these RSUs going to be worth exactly? And how are they going to cash them out?

Looks like Elon tries to act like a chief architect of Twitter[1] even though he still seems to confuse that 1000 RPCs are serially sent[2] from the app[3]? Why don't we do a public technical design interview session for Elon to see if he is technically competent enough for architecting one of the most famous social network? :sigh: [1] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1592177471654604800 [2] https://twitter.com/el…

Related to this discussion, Elon made a tweet saying there are over 1200 microservices. Are there any tech talks or explanation videos showing a rough outline of what all these microservices do or how they're broken up? It's difficult to wrap my head around that amount.

I might be misunderstanding, but how would stock awards work if the company is now private?

He HAS to be doing it on purpose, no-one is this retarded, especially when he just paid 44 BILLION for it. It's like the Emperors new clothes, we're all trying to see some kind of genius that just isn't there.

I'm starting to believe he decided it made more sense to mark down the investment to 0 and use the losses against his income for the next few years instead to pay the fine for pulling out of the deal.
