Dude's gonna figure out how to run Twitter with a couple of hundred engineers, and it will make the rest of Big Tech companies go, "Never thought that was possible", isn't he?

like really think about it... once the code to twiter was written..... it doesnt take an army to maintain it.

Of course have an R/D division but they didnt need 6500 employees to maintain a website except to silence a certain group of people.

Well this is how tech companies start and were ran for most of the 2000s. Lean and mean.

Now they are filled with do nothing wokesters.

I don’t like Elon but I don’t doubt he cleans up Twitter and it improves in the coming months.

I think this was the plan from the beginning, and once he’s done that, he’s gonna pack up the whole company and move it to Texas.

Don't know if he will or won't but I surely would not bet against him. He did something similar with Tesla when virtually everyone mocked an EV company and thought it would never work 8 or so years ago. At first it was "EVs will never work." Then when it did, that quickly shifted to "Wait until the big companies start making EVs, Tesla will be screwed real quick." And now we're seeing the unreal struggles virtually every major auto company is having with trying to break into this space.

Yup. Anybody betting against Elon is an idiot. He's not infallible, but He's the best business man on the planet and knows a thing or two about computers and shite. Gonna be hard to suppress info and control narratives with Elon running Twitter. He's extremely smart, creative, richest man on the planet and don't give a single f#$k.
