Looking at that diagram, and thinking the person who needed it just bought the company for 44 billion dollars, is bewildering.

Been reading a lot of hate on twitter, reddit, and here about how elon is handling twitter. Personally, I love the energy in this picture, want to work at twitter more now than before, and believe they have a good chance of doing great work.

What I see in the picture is organic connection. It's really easy in tech for everyone to get siloed, working on assigned tasks without communication. Greatness comes from the shared spark head down focus.

I bet elon is trying to recreate the environment that worked at paypal and tesla and spacex. Scrappy, energetic, get shit done, not 100 managers with 100 tiny fiefdoms.

This is after he fired over half the company and threatened the rest with unemployment if they didn't come in. This is not organic. This is coercion.

Per US. Citizenship and Immigration Services, around 300 employees at Twitter are working under the H-1B visa.

My note: I am aware of someone at Meta attempting to reach out to these folks to interview for offers to transfer their visas. Very kind of folks willing to do so.
