It got them 44 Billion dollars, they must have been doing something right.
I predict that this will be the Tumblr story all over again. Maybe Apple will buy “Twitter” after their value is less than 1B in a year or something.

I’m sure Elon is checking the cameras. Taking items is a great way to turn a layoff into a for-cause firing.
Checking the cameras, overseeing key product decisions at 3 companies, tweeting at all hours of the day....how does he find the time? /s

>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.
Society treated twitter as something more, and twitter adapted as it grew. 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…
No, journalists did. Society at large doesn’t even use Twitter. Their own stats prove this.

> The meals still exist. They're just not free. Evidently Twitter are expecting to serve less of them, otherwise they wouldn't be decommisioning what appears to be a commercial kitchen. My guess is that Musk still hasn't got rid of all the staff he wants to lose. And I suspect that the ones he's already lost weren't the ones he was hoping to lose. I smell panic.
This might also be, “we fired half our employees and expect to make half as many meals.”
This reminds of the .com crash days so much. There were endless auctions and sales of office furniture, etc. I don’t even think a lot of it got sold as demand was so low and supply so high. I heard stories of people buying chairs that cost $1k for $25, etc.
yeah remember when the herman miller aeron was the ultimate .com status symbol? After the bust you could find those on the side of the road for a while.

This is the sad truth. I used to live nearby Twitter HQ and that description is unfortunately accurate to my experience, of the majority of the homeless who spent time at Van Ness and Market Street SF. HOUSING is what is needed, for sure though. Just be serious about it, and not "diamond-mine trust-fund hyper vigilant ego-abusive maniac" about it.
Elon is rich because PayPal investors paid him to go away. Nothing that happened in his life before that matters at all or gave him any extra starting privilege, diamond mine or no.

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