    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.

          So much for requiring employees to work in the office at least 40 hours a week.

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

            I was only joking

                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.

                                  This is the Tesla saga writ large and now paid attention to by the whole culture. These same feelings of watching a man and his company self destruct through incomprehensible CEO antics, were a thing for years before Tesla skyrocketed a couple years ago.

                                    It’s very different between having employees with large chunks of pre-IPO stock options and having employees with token amounts options of a publicly traded stock. Trying to run the latter like the former is unlikely to work out.

                                          Yes.

                                          Someone posted a comment along the lines of, "Well, if the website is working, what are the 'engineers' for, other than to add bugs features?"
