I wonder if there’s a severance package for that. Employment suicide by cop.
Dangerous gamble for just a couple months of severance. Would make me hesitant to hire that person knowing they have such bad judgement as to publicly badmouth the CEO of their company on Twitter. Even hiring managers who personally hate Elon have to understand that this developer could easily turn the same energy on their own company at some point in the future and make them look terrible. Definitely a career limiti…
Don't overthink it. Elon's a huge ass.

No, but plenty of SpaceX and Tesla employees became very wealthy sticking with Elon's ups and downs over the years. There's no doubt, executed correctly, Twitter could be a $200 billion company or more. It's really an opportunity for the employees to make that a reality. Elon (like his other companies) is going to put the engineers in control.
>It's really an opportunity for the employees to make that a reality. Elon (like his other companies) is going to put the engineers in control. Please, consider investing in some real estate. I have a fantastic property in Brooklyn and it is a deal that you would not believe! Or a less sarcastic response... You mean he'll put them in charge after firing them? Twitter literally barely works right now. I'm not sure how…
Everything he's doing is bringing Twitter inline with how SpaceX and Tesla already operate. It's a massive culture shock/change. Insubordination is not tolerated. Everyone is super mission focused. No one is irreplaceable.

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.
There was no "fine for pulling out of the deal".
Where have you been? I think you may be uninformed on this.
Here's some details: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/26/technology/twitter-musk-b.... Later when Elon sought to pull out of the deal, Twitter threatened to go to court to enforce that $1B fee, which led to the buyout proceeding.

#75Folks, just to set expectations here, it’s gonna be like this for a couple years. He’s going to be nanomanaging the company and learning from scratch the entire business and doing wild shit until he figures it out. And it’s going to be chaos internally and leaks left and right and ten crazy stories like this a week. The signal to noise ratio is gonna be ridiculously low and everyone’s going to get whipped up in every…
The drama is literally the only reason I'm on Twitter right now. Better than any TV show. The moment things get back to "normal" I'm deleting the app.
I respect that! I’ve found Twitter as a drama generator has always affected my mental health negatively after inhaling too much.
It’s like purposely designed so you can take anything out of context, zap it to everyone worldwide, get angry at people you agree with, pile on, bully people. It’s so bad!

I think this attitude about "bad judgement" needs to evolve. We need to consider whether a worker's profane tirade is a reflection of their judgement or a reflection of working under an extremely abusive boss.
Re: Twitter Android app dev fired: Guess it's official now.
#77I wonder how soon Twitter will have to crank the compensation up because no one wants to work there.
Unlikely. Elon's MO for all of his companies is to find the "true believer" types and work them to death for pennies. It's much harder to do in software when one can simply walk across the street and get a better job, but I'm sure there are still enough of them to keep Twitter running because they worship whatever he is spouting.
Re: Twitter Android app dev fired: Guess it's official now.
#78Looks 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.
important to note, that there is a natural very steep Pareto distribution going on here, meaning probably 10-50 of these services are responsible for 90-95% of the activity and features, and on the long tail you have basically one off reporting "services" (queries)

#79Semi Related. How does a Bankruptcy work?
Does a person who invested 44B get away with minimal consequences if he brings the company down, files for bankruptcy? I am trying to understand the financial risks at play here.

Do you do any real estate investment? I have this property in Brooklyn that I think you'd be really interested in
