This is a very interesting video. Is this a leaked private conversation? It’s fascinating how servile and delicate the speakers are (George Hotz?) while challenging Elon. No wonder Musk has made so many bad decisions surrounded by yes men like these.

To be fair, he pushes back pretty hard on Elon upsetting the employee lunch program...

The tone of his voice rubs me the wrong way, it’s like he’s not really taking anything seriously and this is all a game to him, while everyone else on the call is acting like professionals.

My experience over the last 20+ years is that the aura surrounding the CEO joining a call is proportional to the size of the company. From the way they all talk, Twitter is still big.

Are you talking about Hotz or Musk?

He was simping pretty hard for Elon right up to that call. I'd say he escaped with some honor intact. Sacks and Calacanis will go down with the ship and Elon would use their drowned bodies as a raft if it comes to that. "Undignified" is inadequate to describe them.

If only Twitter fixed the lunch program. It's their biggest problem right now.
