At this rate Elon might need to ask Putin for some FSB hackers to keep Twitter running.
They’ve been running Twitter the whole time.

I’ve reached the stage where I just want max chaos, so I’m just hoping some HR person messes up the mail merge or something and fires the completely wrong set of people.

So the prices for who stays and who gets fired is basically arbitrary, right? There’s no way the new leadership folks (or is it just Elon?) could make any kind of reasonable informed decision for that many employees in this short of a time.
They are slowly working their way to model i suggested of $8/month and you get to display a swastika.

Step one is probably searching social media profiles for any criticism of Musk/Tesla etc.

I think that there’s a chance the way this plays out is: corporations abandon Twitter, in exchange for some kickbacks Donnie Dumb Dumb tells his base to be sure to pay Musk the $8 so that everyone knows they’re True Patriots, Twitter becomes an exclusively American Nazi propaganda channel and the American Nazis finally have their own version of a swastika in the blue checkmark.

Musk’s plans to cut up to 3,700 staff may hit a roadblock, however, after a lawsuit was filed in the US federal court in San Francisco seeking orders for Twitter to comply with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which requires 60 days’ notice for mass sackings at large employers.
The case cited a similar situation with sackings at Musk’s other company, Tesla, where the company sought to obtain full release from its obligations under the Warn Act by offering severance of one or two weeks’ pay instead.
“Plaintiffs here are reasonably concerned that, absent court intervention, Twitter will engage in similar behaviour and seek releases from laid-off employees without informing them of their rights or the pendency of this case,” the filing stated
based on what I’ve seen out there, most companies can make massive savings to their infrastructure - but 3 mill a day? I struggle to see how this is possible. I’ve worked on web-scale infrastructure and the cloud spends are always very surprising but I wonder what % of their total spend that is.
Can’t wait for some ghoul on the right to use this lawsuit as an excuse to gut the Warn Act.
