Care to wager?
I think the danger is overstated because I sense there is a lot of misinfo and exaggeration going on
the bottom part of this thread is basically reddit. everyone is irrationally angry.
they would gladly let the remaining thousands of twitter employees eat dirt just to see elon musk fail.
I need everyone to think very carefully about the attack surface, and how long it has been left unprotected, and how long it will be unprotected. Now, I need you to consider the following proposition: that eyeballs are to codebases, dashboards and telemetry as floss is to tooth and gum. Then, I need you to go to your phone and uninstall Twitter. Also, when you do visit it, visit it in Firefox. Use a Firefox Container…
So not only are they going to find a vulnerability on twitter’s backend that allows them to remotely execute code on the Twitter servers, but then they’re also going to find some vulnerability in the app that is accessible from the previous vulnerability on the backend that allows them to execute arbitrary code on my phone, without pushing any sort of app update to the Apple store, and then they’re going to use that…
It depends a lot on what Twitter keeps and for how long, but e.g. consider American soldiers being used to pinpoint nuclear silos, for example.
Imagine being able to map where every journalist is in the world. Now imagine being able to do that for every minute of every day for the past decade.
Objectively, this is an enormous geopolitical risk at just the wrong time, but I have no interest in panicking so aside from mentioning it here, I'm letting it be somebody else's problem
Why Elon insists on actually running a company? He should hire competent people and stick to PR/bullshit thing. It works wonders in his other ventures, mostly. And no, competent doesn't mean Kimbal.
> He should hire competent people He did. Jason Calcanis and David Sacks will surely save the day.
Probably a good time to download an archive of your Twitter data: https://twitter.com/settings/download_your_data
A couple weeks ago 50% were laid off and nothing happened. Now I read on Twitter that Twitter died and it's at a record high DAU. Make it make sense! It may be bumpy in the short term, but then all of the supremely confident naysayers are going to look ridiculous and spiteful if it turns out that Twitter can operate with 80-90% fewer employees.
How will Musk's failure at Twitter affect market confidence in his other ventures?
Not that this is at all significant, but these past few months of Twitter charades have erased any appetite for one day buying a Tesla, or any other Musk owned products. Luckily almost every automaker is coming out with their own EVs in the next couple years, so the market should be pretty competitive(in some ways it already is).
Twitter needs at most 50 people to keep the lights on. 200 to innovate. We all know this.
I don't intend to be mean, but I think your statement is trivially disprovable: $4.8B annual revenue, even if every advertiser spent $1M annually, that's 4,800 advertisers who all require inside reps. If each rep can handle 100 clients (unlikely; that's less than 1 hour / month attention), they would need 480 inside reps alone just to keep ad agencies happy.
They ran this website 12 years ago with the same number of users and like 200 people.
Could this be all part of the plan, though? A way to single out the true believers?
And do what with them? Completely rebuild Twitter in prod? Loyalty has nothing to do with the requirement of being one of the most exceptional programmers in existence.

You’ve diagnosed failure after a month? How many puts have you bought at what price? This is the perfect moment to cement your reputation as a stock market expert.
Twitter isn’t on the stock market anymore...
