im not gonna agree on something that is wrong
/1.you have 0 understanding of a techs life cycle and how a tech company functions
google can still be "functional" if they got rid of 90% of their workforce and why dont they do that why dont they even shave 50% of their current workforce do you think they are stupid and enjoy wasting money?
heck all the websites and software that is on the market today would still be "functional" if they got rid of all the developers and why dont they do that Arber? do some research or hey ask a friend that works as a dev what they do in a company that already has a product built
- Tech companies have been known to go thru cycle of hiring and shaving because of overhired and axing projects the only difference this time is they hired way more than they ever did so naturally the amount of people that got laid off would be a bigger number too (MSFT case they still have more employees after the layoffs than any other year) another reason is huge tech projects are not hitting expectation like amazons alexa and MSFT's AR/VR
Did elon walk up early today and set a trend on waking up after sleeping? lmao
- Now on your idol he is getting rid of large amount of people and selling shit left and right is because he can't afford them sure there some bloat all company has some bloat but thats not the main reason his twitter deal is losing him a shit ton of money and twitter debt needs to be paid
Selling his tesla shares to cover Twitter
dragging his Tesla employees to Twitter to help out
and more
there's a lot more to Twitter than just the website he paralyzed a shit ton of teams to save money he will rehire when he gets out of this debt and Twitter starts to turn around as much as I dont like the guy he's not stupid enough to run Twitter barebones long term or he would have done that to tesla/spaceX

Go look back at this subs reaction when twitter laid off half its personnel, the hive mind was sure twitter would have functional problems but they don’t.
I clearly knew about tech companies life cycles. It’s not really hard to understand, remember I agreed with you, something you’re incapable of doing because your feelings won’t let you commit wrongthink.
Nothing you said disproves that the companies are following Twitters lead. If they weren’t following twitters lead, why did they all wait until after twitter did it to layoff their worthless workers? Investor letters to google even talked about how other companies laid off much more of their staff, showing how twitter set the precedence.
And he’s running twitter with the same method he successfully ran other companies.
Oh wow he sold shares to get money. What a shock.
Again, nothing you’ve said disproves that other tech companies followed twitters lead.

? All these tech companies has laid off people because of over hire or axed projects before Elon musk even bought Twitter
This is like saying I took a shit after a large meal but because Elon had diarrhea yesterday he’s starting a trend on expelling feces and I’m following his trend lol

There’s a trend of tech companies laying people off, and it started with Twitter. Nothing you have said changes that.
If they didn’t start laying people off after seeing it work at twitter why didn’t the other companies do it earlier? They only followed his lead.
