    If his goal is to destroy twitter who allowed folks to make fun of him, he's doing a good job

    He can hire new employees
    Or outsource contractors from India

    Twitter is not worth 44b.

    It's the rise of the crypto bros. It seems too early for people to laugh at Musk's Twitter. I'm seeing more anti-Ukraine and leftists this, leftists that type posts from the crypto crowd. It feels like he's reaching and pulling in his target audience.

    Elon should buy my current company. I could fully vest and peace out while he runs it into the ground.

    Let's game this out as a "spoiled pampered engineer" who was just asked to join/remain at Hardcore Grandpa Twitter

    Should I choose between
    A) joining stealth startup to work 70 hrs for the next 4 years at the hopes of 10-100x options increase or
    B) a company that sold during its peak, and in 4 years will either be bankrupt (Elon's words) or barely touch that previous ATH?​

    Salary is nice, but benes are sketch....Is there meaning or impact?
    Do you love maintaining legacy code and fixing blowups you didn't introduce? Likely no documentation or anyone to ask for guidance but that's fun and Hard Core to burn 70 hours over right?

    Does the thought of Elon fookin Musk stepping on your balls sound arousing? Elon is no Steve Jobs or ESG warrior...doesn't check that box. If you're good enough a software engineer, just join SpaceX or even Tesla for more lucrative options grants or RSUs AND get your Elon fix WITHOUT joining the red headed stepchild of his gaggle of companies.​

    Is there "office chemistry"?
    Office?? Boomer question, next...​

    Is your manager cool?
    Does the thought of having a mgr stepping on your balls sound arousing because Elon fookin Musk stepped on hers an hour ago?​

    For the user base. Again, one of those topics that was discussed 6 months ago. From the beginning, he clearly stated he was going to drastically cut staff and reshape the platform. Keep up
