Sounds like twitter might become easier to hack/less secure if you fire 70% of the staff?

Musk probably thinks Twitter content moderators spend most of their time silencing and oppressing real America. I'd guess they overwhelmingly spend their time fighting child pornography, explicit violence, hate speech, fishing/hacking schemes, scams and bots.

it's very tech ceo brain to pledge to fight the bots, then complain that you didn't know there were bots, then pledge to fire all the people who fight the bots

The first time a deploy fails nobody will be left who knows what to do. It will be like that time every BlackBerry Messenger client was being routed through a PC under someone's desk in Waterloo because RIM didn't know how to bring their datacentres back online.

Elon saving us from Twitter by making it disappear after he vaporizes a very large part of his wealth buying it would be a most excellent outcome.

The fall of unicorns The billion-dollar tech unicorn is becoming rare again quote:SAN FRANCISCO — The hot social media network BeReal — which is gaining steam with young people as a casual alternative to Instagram — recently raised money, a key milestone on the path of any successful start-up. A mere $600 million for "take a photograph of yourself when prompted". So sad.

Only when the sublime idea takes root in the mind of a Great Man can it imprint itself upon the mundane universe; as for the employees, their "labor" is supernumerary, useful only inasmuch as it executes the will of the Entrepreneur.

Smaller layoffs, sure. But 75% will gut the company. It will quickly become a situation where every technical issue causes the whole service to go down for days because everyone who knew how it worked is gone, and everyone who is left is too demoralized to relearn how it works.

Facebook Parent Meta’s Earnings Fall Short as Revenue Decline Acceleratesquote:Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. posted its second revenue decline in a row, as the social-media giant wrestles with a vortex of challenging business conditions that have combined to shave more than half a trillion dollars from its market value so far this year. Meta had a bad quarter, stock down 17% in afterhours trading at time of posting.

I don't think he'll do 75% of engineering in one bloodbath; he'll keep one or two people in each team to train the infosys or accenture contractors that will de facto be running the place indefinitely.

Musk has essentially dedicated his life to Twitter. Having other people do media relations is redundant, when the masses can hear the word of Elon directly.

The internet is about to get much worse, at least until Twitter Myspaces. I just hope I don't lose contact or outright with too many of the posting buddies I made over my 4 or so years there, and that too many folk's careers aren't ruined.
