Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter

[89th]

Sorry for formatting. Above is an email from Elon to all of Twitter this morning. I LOL'd at his style. I dig it, mainly because I don't work there, but he is a catalyst for change, like it or not!

[Horace]

He's good at demanding more, but not so keen on providing more compensation. It'll appeal to some. It would have appealed to me when I was younger.

[Copper]

Yes, I would have loved that when I was younger.

The key is that Mr. Musk must follow through and compensate those who earn it.

There is nothing to follow through. Musk has not promise any compensation to be earned.

[Doctor Phibes]

At no point in my career would I have reacted to that in a positive way.

Massively rich d-bag asks me to give up my private life so he can make even more obscene amounts money in the hope of a yet-to-be-specified reward of some sort?

How does 'fuck off, Elon' grab you?

[Klaus]

Elon's management approach looks rather heavy-handed.

He is pissing off even those employees who support his general course of action.

Compensation takes many forms

And whether he promises it doesn't matter.

He must deliver it.

Kind of funny.

OK, if you were the owner of a business whose employees said this type of stuff about you, why would you even think about keeping them on?

Their thoughts may or may not be justified, and they may or may not be right.

But, if it were my business, I'd think long and hard whether their worth to the business justifies keeping them on after this kind of stuff.

Are they twitter employees? I didn't pick up on that.

It's unclear whether they are or not.

However, more to my point, there have been tons of Twitter employees shit-talking about Elon.

I fail to see the problem with taking the internet's nastiest dumpster and setting it on fire to sanitize it some.

Didn’t you say it wasn’t actually that bad a couple of months ago?

[jon-nyc]

Ouch.

My own corner of it isn't that bad.

"See? Ignore the rusty corners, leaky effluent and the hot garbage & shit smell from the wino in the corner, you can still read the 1-800 number on the back. The dumpster's fine, just fine!"

You know, I always said Twitter is a fad. Maybe I accidentally was correct? Sounds like 88-90% of Twitter employees have quit. Buildings closed. Let’s hope no IT systems need to be restarted in the meantime.

Can be managed, automatically and remotely, using something like this:
