Re: Will Twitter Fail?
#2With recent management changes it seems a lot of employees have left the bird app. Turns out if you give people a choice between working long hours with little to no vision or three months severance pay, most people will take the pay. Employers often overestimate how much their employees need their jobs.
So does this mean Twitter will fall apart? Can a company survive 90% of their employees leaving?

#3It's not a question of if, but when. Next week? Next month? Next year?

#4Why would they do all this dramatic firing and threatening? Why wouldn't they just assemble an isolated separate ghost team (presumably working the way Musk wants them to work), to quietly build a new system and infrastructure, and then just flip a switch when you are ready? Is the mass firings supposed to be some sort of positive signal to shareholders?

I mean it’s private now, not really any shareholders to signal (Elon can just text all of them).
But yeah, there is no master plan. There’s no reason to damage the brand, invite regulatory scrutiny, and burn bridges left and right if the idea is to improve the product.

The bad press seems to be political pressure on Musk and advertisers, over special perks for journalists and politicians. If Musk were very media savvy, he could be playing up the controversy just to keep people talking about (and checking) Twitter, but I doubt it.

That's discussed in the post.
