Add this to the Twitter blue income, not paying severance, and not paying any rent and I’m sure this will easily offset the billions of lost dollars and Twitter will be profitable by the end of the month! Elon did it again.

Remember hes selling all the coffee machines on ebay that they had.
There will be one singular coffee machine left for whole building.
And it will be just outside his door, so if he catches you at it, you are not working hardcore enough, therefore fired.

given how musky drinks caffeine free diet coke, maybe he doesnt believe in caffeine and therefore thinks people that drink caffeine drinks arent hardcore enough.

(caffeine either doesnt work for him due to just natural reasons or because he's dependant on other drugs.)

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS

Comparing post-musk employee numbers with pre-musk revenue figures seems disingenuous

Victory Lap

Twitter at 1000 employees? 5mil/employee

Twitter at 10 employees? 500mil/employee

Twitter run solely by Musk? a cool loving 5 billion dollars in revenue per employee!

Just try and argue with my math libs, facts are facts

I mean, technically, but I think the bigger reach in there is that revenue and employee count are uncorrelated.

Oh god is he trying to be self deprecating? Did a bunch of PR people yell at him? Cause his last few tweets are giving me that feeling. This “aw shucks guys, it’s just your bud lil’ old Elon” act feels new

Well, for one thing, they had more advertisers. He chased a ton away before he even bought Twitter.

Elon's purchase also saddled Twitter with a lot of extra debt.

They weren't even profitable before that.

They did manage to break even sometimes thanks to ad revenue.

If Elon Musk was going to design a truck with its own custom tires I'm legit surprised he didn't do something really bonkers like use a completely different material for them.

That picture reminds me of one of my favorite "CEO is a dumbfuck" things of recent history, and that was the revelation that Papa John had to literally undergo some kind of media training to teach him to stop using racial slurs.

he would jump because in the Anime Matrix, or Animatrix, The Kid freed himself by jumping iirc. or those kids that found a weak spot in the matrix physic's engine found an abandoned house and they would play gravity chicken.
