BREAKING:
Musk is now running Twitter with less than 50 key employees, down for 7,500 at its peak.
“Everything is normal, we may be profitable soon.” He says.

🐸 KEKTACULAR! 🐸
I lived in Silicon Valley in the 1980's and am a software developer. I wanted a family and a life, meaning I wanted mostly 40 hour weeks, whereas SV insisted the minimum was 60 hour weeks and asked for 80.
I left SV for that reason.
And I have no sympathy for the Twitter workers as they were abusers both for suppression of Conservative thought, but also of their employers largesse.
Even with mostly automated systems, you do need people to maintain them, even if they live in the cloud. Things go wrong all the time and someone has to go in and intervene. So that being said I do believe he can operate with a skeleton crew, but that would limit the future as no new things can be added. But new things can be for sometime in the future and not now.
Right? A medium town employer who values your skills and needs them will pay you more and let you be true to your own self (family etc) because everyone needs a website nowadays.
As I said in another post though, he has Tesla employees involved in the transition and a massive pool of talent to draw from, so where he may need more people, he can pull them in and train as needed without importing the old Twitter culture.
I suppose that's the thing I left out of this post; more may end up being needed to maintain systems, but by starting from scratch and getting rid of the meditation room safe space types, he can remove that messed up culture and prevent it from tainting new hires.
