Comment on I worked for Elon Musk in the early days of SpaceXparent

Comments

Yes, firing 3000 people with lives and families

Maybe we need to be more mature.

Twitter was very clearly bloated. Laying off the bloat is pretty much status quo for major acquisitions. There is nothing unusual here.

Are any of the other major tech companies laying off huge percentages of their workforce also "jackasses"???

It’s not “very clear” to this outsider that Twitter was bloated, not that the firings adhere to any particular “debloating” rationale.

Edit: The approach Musk has taken to layoffs also does not evoke maturity.
