Doing this on a few weeks notice seems rather insane to me. Unless you have very good remote work options this is very disruptive for employees.

I cannot understand why anyone would work there, especially in office. but each their own.

Folks with H1B visas have an undue burden on any attempt to move jobs. Also interviewing is hell for many tech folks who are extremely introverted (myself included in that last part.)

> and it was too obvious when things were being forced into your algorithm feed It is funny that you say that. I never received random tweets from the previous leadership while Twitter inserts Elon Musk tweets in my feed more times than the people I follow. Only right wing nuts will think Twitter is getting better.

I think if you don't see the (often overt) bias of an outlet's media that you consume, the likeliest reason is that 1) you're not aware of current social and political topics or 2) the content already aligns with your politics and/or worldview.

It sounds like Elon Musk and perceived right wing bias are what inflame you. Perhaps that's how others felt about that short period under the old management when they were also not neutrally politically aligned?

You might be right when it comes to employees, but definitely not when it comes to users.

There's a lot of people using X, and the vast, vast majority of them don't care much for Musk or actively dislike him.

THe problem with X is that it is (and always was) sort of an echo chamber, there's no average X user, everybody sees very different content based on what they follow. The average HNer probably won't notice the huge swathes of people who are on there just for sports content or their favorite celebrity. Those people usually don't care much for Musk, except when he appears in some funny meme.
