Do we know how many of those 7k were content moderators? Twitter also had external moderators that are probably not counted in that number.
Question is more why are they paying for moderators when Reddit has proved they’ll do it for free.

Wouldn't it just be smarter to sublet the space and fill up the building. Rather than having empty floors on a building you barely use.
Not sure if their rental agreements allow that. Most don't.

Apparently he’s looking to replace some of the expensive debt with new margin loans backed by his TSLA shares: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-08/musk-bank... IMO this Twitter deal has been nothing but bad news for Tesla shareholders. The CEO is completely distracted and forced to sell his shares, and the company has been dragged into stupid culture wars. Tesla brand perception has crashed among Democ…

Reddit has an army of unpaid moderators. Not to mention the Reddit users who upvote and downvote. Also, politicians and other important public figures don't use Reddit like they use Twitter.
>Reddit has an army of unpaid moderators. Smart, Reddit is comfortable with the fact it’s a glorified web forum, Twitter lied to itself that it’s something more.
Despite the recent disruptive events, society still treats twitter as a public square. Politicians, celebrities, charities, and governments all make announcements there. So many updates on the russian invasion of Ukraine have been put on twitter but not facebook or instagram.
My personal opinion is that twitter is a public square. I don't know what that means legally, because it is an international public square with all the judicial/governmental chaos that implies. I guess an alternative would be to have "twitter is a USA public square" kind of language on the site, but that may well dampen any participation from non-US people.

This is hardly the kind of thing where a prudent CEO spends $44B to make a stance.
Some nice espresso machines and grinders listed there. I assume those won't sell for 25$.

They famously shut down the free meals.
That's wild. It's untaxed comp that minimizes the time employees need to spend thinking about food during the day. He's mandating employees come back to the office for long hours, but now they need to (at least) order and receive their own lunches and dinners? If he's trying to retain some sort of high-intensity hardcore ninja startup bullshit, I would think free food would be the last thing cut. Or is he planning fo…
That's what the vast majority of office workers do around the world, so, yes, I guess that's what the new CEO expects of the Twitter employees.

The anti-trans movement masquerades as feminism but is essentially a retread of the anti-gay arguments of 1960-2000. Gays need medical help. Gays shouldn’t be allowed in spaces with children. Gay men don’t belong in spaces where real men interact (like the army) because they’d be colonizing them with their unbridled sexuality. Etc. This is hardly the kind of thing where a prudent CEO spends $44B to make a stance.

Europe is catching up on the obesity rate.
