To me, it is kind of like the politics saying - "easy to campaign but tough to govern". We will see how it works out with Mr. Musk.
I sure as heck wouldn’t want to work for him
As I understand it, he doesn't pay more, but he does expect more. That's not a great combination. It's not as if his rank and file engineers are next in line to get blown by Amber Heard.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Would that you give others the same courtesy.
Speaking of courtesies, I made 5 observations about Musk’s takeover of Twitter. You responded with a comment about me.
Maybe next time address the substance of the post?
My response was about the legions of people who have made personal observations about Elon and how that tracks with their predictions of his companies, and that you now join that line. As for boiling down your thoughts into other words, such as that you don't much care for Elon or that you're predicting his failure, of course you will respond that those other words are inaccurate. That's what you do. But a dispassionate reader of your thoughts might conclude that the characteristics you laid out, are not positive ones, and that the effects you laid out, were not positive to his business interests.
As for responding to every bit of the post, I think they were not questions posed directly to me. If you would like my thoughts on something, you should ask respectfully.

I am wondering why they suspended advertising.
The reason given by advertisers seems to be uncertainty.
But if you dig a little deeper, the talking point is that Twitter now allows hate, vulgar and hostile rhetoric aimed at people based on their race, religion, ethnicity and orientation, such as the "n-word," "k-word," and "f-word,".
I can see where those things might be impolite or unpleasant for some.
It also seems that democrats hate Mr. Musk, republicans seem to be more tolerant.

That would fix it, I guess.
Suspend doesn't meant quit. Advertisers want eyeballs. If Twitter can furnish eyeballs, it's business as usual.

That sounds like a lady I know. Never had her as a boss, but I know people who did. 100++++% dedicated to work. No outside life at all. My friend got a text (or email) from her at something like 1 am, and then got "chewed out" because he did not answer it until 8 am the next morning.

8 bucks a month for Twitter?
Well.
Note that Musk agrees.
