>Elon Musk, CEO Superman
Yeah, I'm sure running a business $13b in debt solely dependant upon advertising revenue, while screaming 'Hang Fauci' 2 years after anyone last gaf will end well. Twitter will end up the poster child of 'shit not to do in business'.

companies always lay off in a recession
not really news

who cares seriously
this board smell like a putrid anus since 2018

>>52825996
Most of the workforce is functionally useless. They're only there to keep the social climate steady. Otherwise too many people would be out of work and rioting over not being able to make a living. This has been true since at least the 90s. If you do not make decisions in your company or report directly to that person, you're expendable; your job likely has been automated away by middleware and the only thing keeping you in your chair has been the unseemly look of mass layoffs. A recession changes that calculation, obvs, which is why it's being shilled to you as a good thing handed down by Genius CEO Elon ◓◓◓◓◓◓.

>>52825996
all musk did is make the competent, talented employees leave. They were offered severance and get their choice of whatever jobs they want, why would they stay when he ended work from home, demands unreasonable, tech illiterate metrics be met, while dismantling their teams. No one is actually passionate about Twitter, its not getting driven employees like spaceX or maybe Tesla, and theirs no shares/ownership to motivate people like a startup. All that's left are H1b poos/chinks and shitty devs that are gonna ride out the clock till they have the experience to apply elsewhere
Twitter will stay operational as long as they don't make major changes, it just depends on if this will be enough to pay they bills

>>52825996
>twitter fired a bunch of people and it works fine so those people weren't doing anything
do these retard niggers think every single employee is running on a hamster wheel to keep the app up?

>>52825996
Good, this will primarily affect tech and specifically FAGMAN tech which is filled to the brim with overpaid, mediocre employees. Can't wait for them to be brought back down to earth.

>>52825996
The next company to downsize.

So that's how the techbro wfh bubble finally bursts?

>>52825996
Well run tech products run on their on once you have SOPs for all major operational issues. You can definitely run twitter on a skeleton crew problem is ever rolling out a new feature. Everything musk has rolled out so far has been a disaster prob because all his competent devs left.

>>52826380
Nah thanks to linkies this will never happen. There is no shortage of McDonald’s or hr roasties at chainlink.

>>52826380
Sergey is literally philosophizing about how to increase useless eaters in Zoom meetings and slow down code production kek

>>52825996
ESG and ADL can all eat cut tranny dicks

>>52826053

There’s this bizarre trend of complete losers constantly lambasting Elon Musk as a business fraud when he’s built Atleast 5 successful multi billion dollar companies at this point

This poster couldn’t buy a and run a Lemonade stand from a Zoomer let alone multi billion dollar businesses yet here he is chastising a Billionaire

>>52825996
Elon is causing so much crying coping and seething. Loving every minute of it.

>>52826336

If the app is up and running just fine with the current roster of employees wtf were the other employees doing other than banning right wingers?

>>52826400
Don’t think so, because they aren’t getting laid off for now. All the HR roasties and other useless eaters on the other hand will get decimated. Which in turn makes the office space a liability.

>>52825996

Wtf...

>>52826259
Really faggot? You are calling trannies and Uber liberal women drinking wine for lunch competent employees?
You and this >>52826053 fucking wagecuck nigger are the ultimate losers.
Go back to working the fry machine retard.

>>52826053
> 2 years after anyone last gave af
No, that’s just you who were with him and are now hoping that we’ll all forget. We won’t.

>>52826053
You’re losing your job soon tranny, keep coping

Here's a screenshot of a convo I had with our new "HR manager".

Context:

>I'm CFO
>her first instinct was to ask me to do her job even though I gave her all that she needed
>I'm still going to post "HR is a fake job" weekly on LinkedIn

lmfao

>>52826646
It's really strange, isn't it? It's always sophomore pinko retards, who hate the very conception of organized and directed private capital to begin with, who scream the loudest about electricrocket willy wonka being a bad businessman. I just laugh.

>>52826843
Also: I'm going to personally ensure my finance staff don't ever have to worry about HR bullshit

I will never become the type of useless cuck manager I hated when working below them

>>52826761
Exactly, these people are getting tribunals for crimes against humanity

>>52826761
> that’s just you who were with him
uhuh

>Powell says get those job numbers down
>they follow
bullish

>>52826053
False equivalence.
Why do you pretend he can't advertise the the half of the nation you hate? I'm sure it you had to click an OK button that said "hang Fauci" every time you opened Twitter, that it would open advertising doors as well.
Or are you just a disingenuous troll?

>don't work in tech or engineer
>Maybe play with some c or JavaScript and casual Linux stuff occasionally
>Realize internet is one big economic drain of unexciting "ideas" and unnecessary garbage services

Is there some bell curve where you have to be midwit tech wagie/entrepreneur to "believe" an "app" can "change the world" and Elon musk is in middle of curve? I have a hard time believing he would be above 110 IQ I could see a Nigerian warlord being more self aware then Elon musk.

>>52826898
They are disingenuous nobodies that don't matter to anyone - they don't even matter to themselves.

>>52827067
>he can't advertise the the half of the nation you hate?
*he* can do whatever the fuck he likes.
his *advertisers*, upon whom his company is financially dependant, will run for the fucking hills from shit like this. Regardless their CEOs own personal views or otherwise. Advertising does not work likes that, and the MyPillow retard and ;re-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene, because shes as fucking retarded as you!' adspend is only gonna go so far.

>>52827067
>Or are you just a disingenuous troll?
what, like saying one thing, then the diametric oposite?

Muskposting really outs the trannies doesn't it

>>52827069
The problem is that these useless vapor ware services can easily be deployed, easily scaled up, and can often be done in a very cheap budget with minimal resources. All with little ROI time. It's not about how useful they are, but how little resources it requires to spin something up that makes some money.
I posted >>52826706 and believe me when I say my wife's idea is absolutely nothing high level, truly innovative, or ground breaking. She's using pre existing concepts such as web scrapers and api's and minimalist search engines to provide something that people use, and it's not even used at a massive enough scale to be known outside of a particular subset of the population. If you're 30+ na shave kids, you likely will be our target audience. But it makes us enough money that we are seriously considering devotinf our full attention to it.

>>52826706
can't wait to steal your wife when she realizes you're a socialist parasite unfit to breed

>>52826706
so you were jealous.
you'll be more jealous if she does it without you

>>52827274
>>52827291
Well that's not nice. And I'm not jealous.

>>52827481
>i hate people with money who use that money to further advantage themselves
>now that this situation has presented itself i intend on doing the same
>i wasn't jealous though

>>52826744
>everyone who works from home is always drunk and fucking off
literal retard

>>52825996
What a very long way of saying
>don't employ diversity hires

>>52827069
yes, the smart people are in deep tech
you can see this in web dev people who judge tesla/spacex, two hard tech companies

>>52825996

Breaking news: literallywho posts opinion on twitter

>>52826336
Based on the 80/20 rule I'm gonna guess that as long as you keep the 20% you can keep things rolling for a time. Thing is I doubt he kept the 20%.

>>52826646
I remember reddit used to worship elon and now they absolutely hate him and now there's at least 3-4 threads at any time with thousands of upvotes shitting on him him because he said wokes are bad

>>52826053
rent free landlords seething at you, KEK. could you imagine spending a bunch of your own money on a company you didn't even do DD for?

>>52826684
>what else were they doing
Drinking
Eating
Chatting
Just women things

>>52826843
Her responses are low effort.

>>52826053
This. Just another hype train that everybody will forget when it hits the wall.

>>52826259
competent, talented kek. you mean all the censorous leftists got the boot. good riddance

>>52826706
Congrats anon, you have just learned why people are on the Left while young and consistently go Right over their lifetime

>>52826646
>My views on Elon Musk
I don't care much about Elon except basic curiosity about him a person. I don't use the services of his companies. So please keep that context in mind.
>this bizarre trend
It's not bizarre for people to talk about rich or influential people. Happens all the time.
>complete losers constantly lambasting Elon Musk
You don't know if they're losers or not. You don't know them. Also, you calling other people losers is an example of the pot calling the kettle black. If they're losers... so are you. You're not "better" because you refrain from "lambasting" Elon Musk.
>he’s built Atleast 5 successful multi billion dollar companies
Elon has worked very hard and is very smart.... but your statement isn't factually accurate. Here, read the Wiki article about him:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk#Business_career
There's no doubt at all that Elon worked very hard, but to act as if he single handedly built those companies is downright silly.
>After two more failed attempts [at launching rockets] that nearly caused Musk and his companies to go bankrupt, SpaceX succeeded in launching the Falcon 1 into orbit in 2008.
There were many.... many times Elon almost failed. To pretend that *HE* and *HE ALONE* worked miracles is well.... just silly. Some of the wealthiest people on Earth agree that part of their success is luck. Elon got lucky many times. Other people were not so lucky.
>yet here he is chastising a Billionaire
Wealth is not a defense against criticism.
>“The life of money-making is one undertaken under compulsion, and wealth is evidently not the good we are seeking; for it is merely useful and for the sake of something else.”
Billionaires have money. That doesn't mean they also have virtue or are above "wrong acts."

I think you have some growing up to do.

>>52826053
Why do you give a shit? People like you sound so emotionally invested in this, I really don't get it.

>>52826843
>>52826914
Well I'm not CFO but I have some observations - you're both fags. Here's why:
>She has information she could already use to fill it in
This is a fair point with caveats. Instead of asking you to do all of it, she could have filled in what she already had and then asked you to do the rest. However, you would still need to check her work. Why? Because she has incomplete information.
>She has a deadline that's parallel to you
You're the CFO. She doesn't report to you; she reports to the CHRO who is your hierarchical equal. The CHRO is most likely (assumption on my part) asking for something from her. So in essence her boss is asking you for something and her boss is your equal. SHE doesn't give two shits.
>She attempts a compromise and you piss on her
You made your point to her, and she tried to meet you halfway by saying (in essence), "Sure, I'll fill out everything I have. Could you put in what I'm missing by my deadline?" Your response? "Unlikely."

How old are you?

Elon Musk is so intelligent for inventing layoffs just like he invented the electric car

>>52825996
Maybe there is hope, and in time, women will go back in the kitchen where they belong.

>>52830524
>Wall of text
No, he has a point. It was the same when smug leftists convinced themselves they would be better businessmen than Trump, because Trump declared bankruptcy 6 times (while having over 300 businesses). It's just gigacope because most people absolutely can't stand when someone they deem morally inferior is actually not a fuck up in other aspects.

>>52830605
>Wall of text
If you can't read, you can just tell us. There are centers for children who can't read good where they can learn to do other stuff good too.
>Trump
>good at business
You obviously don't know anything about Trump.

I'll keep my wall of text. You can keep talking out of your own ass.

>>52830631
>>Trump
>>good at business
Thanks for proving my point, smuggy

>>52826706
kys, commie faggot

>>52830568
Agree, CFO needs to demonstrate patience and work on their communication skills when working with underlings; or should be delegating this dribble to one of his people if they’re really that important

Treat your people well

>>52826684
giving warnings to centrists

>>52830568
>her deadline is yours too
>even though it is unlikely he is be able to get it done he shouldn't say so

You sound like a midwit.

>>52830568
I’m pretty sure that was HER response
