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.

I'd bet every penny I have that most corporations in operation today could do the same thing and run even better. The entire concept of "middle management" is some unique kind of stupid that MBA retards fell for several decades ago. Corporations have been dumbed down and caused to falter by how much padding of the payrolls they are carrying. If you only look at "charitable" or "research" corporations you'd find you need exactly 0% of the current employees.
For a site like Twitter? Probably. You don't need a team of thousands of coders to make and maintain what is essentially a forum where people make posts. Especially not if an "algorithm" is what is handling most bans.
Even game development has a max of like, 3-400 and a lot of those get shifted to other teams after development is complete. That's a group of people creating something from (in some cases) nothing.
Twitter is a forum. I wonder how many people are working on the .wins.
Your number of employees shrinks further if you are contracting out your servers to a farm too.
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.
