Smart man. He knows the Twitter staff had a culture of hate toward him. He’s weeding out the underminers, the liabilities, and recreating the staff according to people who share ideals rather than having his own workforce fight against him both publicly and secretly while taking his paychecks.
Twitter has needed the poop cleaned out of the cage for a long time. Glad to see it finally happening.
Going to be a much better operation.
Exactly. This happens at take overs of most problematic companies with poor cultures, or even sports teams
just managment doing their thing. Elon has succeeded at everything, no reason to think he won’t here
Keep up the good work Elon!
Talking about burning money.
Feel sad for whom who lost their job.
But don't feel sad for Elon the dictator and his investors.
The sooner Twitter is killed the better for the society.
OMG!!! He’s asking his employees to work hard! Damn him and his hard work philosophies!! No one should have to work hard to get paid good money!!! EVER!
I just want to say that all of this publicity with Musks management style is going to hurt workers in the future. Especially if he’s successful. This is how he runs his very successful companies
LOL Those posts here saying that Musk is just clearing out the dead wood, that Twitter staff was full of people that weren’t working hard, weren’t pulling their weight really crack me up. Do you really think that 75%+ of the staff weren’t needed? Do you really think the site that had trouble staying up last World Cup will do just fine with not just people, but whole departments gone? With Content Moderation crippled? With Public Relations and Communications dark? With most of the programmers and infrastructure people not there, or at best spending time looking to get out? Do you honestly think that by selectively driving away the most experienced, most talented, most capable members of the staff, the site will somehow work better?
Get real. This fiasco will be used by business schools in the future of exactly how not to take over a company. As an example of precisely how not to treat your staff. As Exhibit A of managers that did not know WTH they were doing.

So Musk surrounding himself with only sycophants and mendicants makes Twitter BETTER?? Can't wait to witness what actually happens. That's akin to saying Trump doing the exact same thing will make America great (and glorious) again. I CAN wait to witness that happen, hopefully forever.
As always, you could put a monkey in front of three buttons that were labelled 'Layoffs', 'Benefit Cuts' and 'Workload Increase' and they could produce the same results as human beings paid millions of dollars to be CEO. Musk is just showing that he's not an original thinker.

Which successful companies are you referring to? SpaceX and Boring both lose money. Tesla is solvent due to a government incentive program and has yet to be profitable in its own right.
Why is it that Elon Stans know the least about him?
My guess is that most reasonably aware people knew Space Karen would completely bungle this but I don't imagine they thought he would do it so quickly.
"Decimated" literally means to reduce by 10%. This word is used incorrectly all the time.
How about a new term:
elon (verb): to announce intentions to buy a multi-billion dollar company, waiver on that commitment, then be legally bound to consummate the purchase, followed by letting go a large amount of staff thus bringing instability to the company's operations, changing policies daily that confuse the company's customers/users and cast doubt on the company's ability to provide value to them, insisting your remaining employees have no work/life balance, all leading to the ultimate demise of the very company you hoped to improve, simultaneously casting massive public skepticism on your abilities as a leader and a humane person.
Example: After he eloned the heck out of Twitter, who in their right mind would want to go to Mars as his employee?

If you want to keep with the sports team analogies, go read The Damned Utd by David Peace. Very apt.

The definition you're using is "historical", not current. You won't feel left behind if you grow with the language.
