If they have years of technological debt, they've accumulated it under Jack, not Elon. Hence, not exactly "calling Elon out".

Meh... it's not unique to Musk or Twitter. Same stuff happening at Meta(Facebook), Alphabet(Google), Amazon, Microsoft and Apple - just less public. The tech gravy train is finally coming to an end. Business fundamentals are becoming king again. Let's hope crypto dies a very public / violent death[^] in the coming months as well. Maybe some sanity in the markets can help correct what our politicians have saddled us with over the last 2 years.

Along with that, I've noticed over the last few days that both Facebook and Amazon have taken the opportunity to rid themselves of a few thousand employees (each), probably hoping the announcement got lost in the current noise...

Dr. Evil is more competent than Musk.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

To be fair. My boss doesn't really understand what I do either - I don't completely understand his. But he does his job and I do mine and together things move properly. Loyalty is probably more important than "technical competence". Brent Hoskisson

Huh. At least Blofeld was a cat person, unlike Musk.

I'm sorry - in what world can you publicly call out your boss and expect no consequences. You can piss and moan about him down at the pub after work all you want but if you post it to the company intranet or publicly online - well - NO ONE is shocked when you get canned. Most of this is just very loud performance quitting.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

> Most of this is just very loud performance quitting. No it's not. Musk - yet again - posted something totally random and wildly factually inaccurate and someone who *did* know the facts pointed that out. Musk just can't stand being told he's wrong, that's what's really happening here.

Not gonna happen - the guy is a major political doner. This will be downplayed. :doh:

Of course he did, but that doesn't change the fact that Musk acts like a spiteful, spoiled child.

Well, the boss publicly called out his employees and he didn't even get it right. If I worked at Twatter I'd probably done the same as I'd be planning on quitting anyway. Musk deserves no respect from those working under him as he shows them no respect either.

Depends, how good is this guy? Has he done this before? A good employee is worth a lot more than some manager's fragile ego. If my good employees did something stupid because I angered them, I'd sit down and try to resolve the issue. Of course nothing is worth more than Musk, according to Musk.
