#2I am not a Twitter user, and vote independent, so no dog in this race.
But this is a hugely lopsided take.
A hit piece by the people that WANT Twitter to die now that it is in Elon's hands, and will do everything in their power to advance that goal.
I read it even though it's by a party with an open slant, because you have to keep an open mind and hear what both sides say.
tl;dr - "Elon, you idiot! You don't know what you're doing! Hey, everyone, how can you keep on using Twitter?!"

#4"Twitter’s staff spent years trying to protect the social media site against impulsive billionaires who wanted to use the reach of its platform for their own ends, and then one made himself the CEO."

#7I'm surprised by the takes here. Its an interesting story, admittedly taken from the perspective of those impacted by the layoffs, but that's made pretty clear in the article.
While I'm no Elon fan, I've enjoyed reading his articles about his positive experiences at Tesla, understanding there is another side to the story. Likewise, I'm sure there are those still at Twitter that would have a different take, but this article is interesting in its own right.

What was that saying about facts and feelings?

Ok, but please don't just call names or fulminate in HN comments. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
Better options are either to explain neutrally what's wrong about an article, and hopefully add more correct information; or simply to chalk it up to the internet/media/whatever being wrong about everything, and move on to something more interesting.

#10> He has purged thousands of employees, implemented ill-advised policies, and angered even some of his most loyal supporters.
This is the most baffling part of Elon's entire acquisition; even many of his most ardent supporters now hate him. Surely he should have realized that installing himself as King of Twitter could only end poorly. I suppose that's what happens when you're surrounded by yes-men.
