I can only say he's the owner, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it.
His big mouth ensured he couldn't wriggle off the hook and forced to overpay by £30bn.
It's a toxic platform, irrespective of who owns it.
Depends who perceives it toxic now, just because Musk is the owner.
We have seen similar with that crypto guy, losing £35bn in a week.
Crypto and Twitter don't have any real, tangible worth, it's what somebody else is telling you it has.
All smoke and mirrors. Snake oil salesman being massively rewarded by financial institutions and investors that are desperate to be in on the tulips.
Fuck 'em all. Musk's fortune alone would rebuild Ukraine and still have change to build HS2 in our country!
Didn't Musk buy £3bn of Crypto earlier this year and used Twitter to impact the market?

But isn't Elon's personal fortune mostly in devalued shares and stock options and the like now ?I can only say he's the owner, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it.

Why did he think it would be a good idea to tell all employees that Twitter will become a sweatshop work environment lol. Plenty of other employers out there who will snap them up with better working conditions the dickhead. Not long till the 3 ghosts of Christmas visit him.

I don’t really give two fucks about Elon or twitter, but it does make me laugh as it shows why the previous board and major shareholders were so keen to force through the deal at the price he offered, lol.

In spite of the recent economic downturn, attracting top development talent is difficult. The bullshit, "you can't work from home but must instead work in the office," and cutting of intangible benefits is enough to drive most talented workers away - couple this with the massive layoffs and the ultimatum, "stay and work your ass off or leave with 3 months salary" - well it's a no brainer. Most will leave immediately - and the rest will be attempting to leave just as soon as another job opens up.

I’ve seen someone theorise that it worked at SpaceX because there’s nowhere else for rocket scientists to go.
The kind of senior, experienced Software developers he’s offered this ultimatum to can walk into any tech company in the world and get paid just as well if not better, in a forward thinking office environment.
The vast majority of people who have stayed at twitter are people on US work visas who can’t spend any time unemployed or they’ll get deported - they’ll have to line up other jobs before leaving.
