Are they getting rid off some of the creature comforts for the employees who're still sticking around? I could be wrong but is it another way Elon thinks that he could improve efficiency? Probably overthinking!

I think it's more like having downsized by half, they now have lots of excess unused inventory to offload.

I am struggling to think how Elon is going to pay the interest on the loan he took for buying Twitter. On other hand his collateral , tsla stock, is crashing.

He got carried away to make this purchase during the rising tide of covid bull market.

I suspect this is going to severely affect both tsla and twtr

In case you haven't noticed the majority of employees has been fired. There's only so many sofas you need for a certain amount of people.

Before launching a GoFundMe for Elon, consider that when it’s that much money Elon doesn’t really have a problem, the bankers do. No matter what happens, Elon is going to be just fine.

Selling off a twitter bird statue makes it look bad. What a signal that the company doesn't believe in itself anymore.

If you have less offices you have less needs for corporate branding. If you were to consolidate all branding into the remaining offices it would take up too much space. You can not be sentimental about this stuff.

But you can be smart and care about branding and reputation.

Throwing them away would be more beneficial.
