Years ago I had to arrange travel to a government office and when I asked if they had any gov-rate hotel deals in the area I was sent a screenshot of a google maps search for "hotels" with markers all over it that I couldn't interact with bc it was a goddamned screenshot.

That person runs twitter now, apparently.

Someone should very slowly and with pictures explain to this rear end in a top hat that you could in fact fire 100% of Twitter's (or Google's) employees, and things would run fine ... for a few days. But the first time someone needed to pay bills, fix bugs, reboot servers, change out some broken hard drives or design a new feature, the whole thing would collapse.

So maybe hold off on the Business Genius Elon rear end pats until it's been at least a couple of days since he fired 90% of Twitter's employees.

You would think the headhunters would realize they too would be completely obsolete if it was somehow proven that you can "run" enormous tech businesses indefinitely with a skeleton crew

This is all a modification of the Wesley Snipes challenge. never pay engineers again, and see what happens

hang on a second

People keep saying staff and engineers like they are the same thing. How many of the remaining staff are cleaners, catering and security - a demographic traditionally associated with migrant workers on visas.

700 staff, 250 computer touchers would seem about right

Twitter might glitch and go down for a bit but the goal isn't kill it. The goal is to monetize it. Elon wants to cut expenses and then put a premium on poo poo posting. The $8 verification is the latter and the firings is the former. He probably didn't expect 90% employee loss but he's the type to brag about gutting a business for efficiency sake. Paying for access could work, somethingawful does it. He'll pay to retain/rehire who he needs based on what breaks. I can see other companies doing something similar in the future. If the recession is deep enough, its probably a reality. Twitter was just the first major player to sell. But once a site sells, the userbase isn't a value in of itself, it will be coerced into being consumers.
