Works fine on my end (considering the contents of his tweets, I almost wish it didn't, though...)

I guess if you are on a visa. There are some "office heroes" there for sure, and they will probably realize years later that they were abused.
> It would feel amazing after this much abuse. This much abuse. What abuse? Can you tell us more in detail?

That's great that it worked out for you.. That twitter employee wasn't so lucky... she was fired last week: https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3876505-twitter-employ...
A picture of someone sleeping on the ground is not really a good indicator of their work performance one way or the other. Only the company would really have insight into that. Pulling a late night and sleeping on the ground does not make you immune to a layoff.
Not that I particularly like Elon but people are now making a big deal out of every twitter outage as if twitter didn't spend down half of the time before Elon bought it.
Before it is all '#hugops' and 'best wishes to the engineers at Twitter' when it had downtime before the acquisition. But as you can see, they all love to hate it because a person called Elon R. Musk owns the blue bird site.
Just like when everyone here thought that Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp all collapsed and went down for hours it was declared as the 'end of times' the 'death of Meta', etc, with it's network effect still unaffected by that.
The same thing is happening for Twitter as even when it goes down, it's network effect of 220M+ users is still sitting there waiting for it to get back up.
PSA: Mastodon, Misskey, Nostr, Bluesky exists now. Just top 3 Mastodon instances(mastodon.social, pawoo.net, mstdn.jp) collectively has > 2mil users, same level as Twitter in 2008. Misskey, an ActivityPub/Mastodon compatible server software, now has >10K users. Nostr isn't much, Bluesky is still invite only and had just went past 2k registered, but those are all available options for direct substitutes to Twitter in…

Do you just have a gut feeling that they are being abused? I thought the crowd that didn't like working there, left.
It doesn't make sense from the outside (or in hindsight), but it happens

twitter is only important if your stuck in the bubble of twitter people. Tons of people dont use twitter, let alone even write on there. to get even like 1000 replies is still an insignificant amount, even though it feels like a lot. there are 300million people in just the US. thinking twitter replies are meaningful or represent enough people to have discourse is disconnected from the real world.
