My kid mentioned that the other day. It sounds like complete BS to me.

That's why posted it. Cool but is it real?

Yawn...
In the next couple weeks several other tech CEOs will do much the same and nobody will notice - let alone care.
I seem to recall many people claiming Twitter was going to crash/burn/shutdown within weeks of the big job cuts Musk made. I seem to recall many people suggesting that all those laid off Twitter employees would easily find employment at a plethora of tech companies. Turns out Musk was just ahead of the curve (again) and the tech job market itself is what crashed and burned.

David O'Neil wrote: Elon Musk publicly mocks Twitter worker with disability who is unsure whether he's been laid off
From what I saw elsewhere last night: The likely reason why Elon has backed down here was that when Halli sold his company to Twitter a few years ago, instead of taking everything in a lump sum he took it spread out over the next N years; with a clause that said if he leaves the company the remainder is due as a lump sum. Firing him is going to result in an ~$100m bill coming due.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

When I first started in development work, I had a little fear rattlin' around in the back of my mind. I was worried that efficiency might eventually cause me to run out of work. Sometimes a great big new vended product would launch - the one application to rule them all - and it would seem, for a time, that the queue was getting a bit short.
Not anymore.
I've argued until I'm blue in the face: for-the-love-of-code-use-the-free-version to no avail.
I've seen new mega-system put into place that killed four of my applications but spawned the need for a dozen more.
They'd rather pay me six figures to write something custom because, on the free version of some product in use by a million people, the description field on a tab nobody uses sits off to the side kind of funny.
You cannot talk yourself out of work in the coding biz.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Slightly off topic, but relevant...
Back when I worked for TRW Ballistic Missile Division, I was a Project Engineer for development of all support equipment to field and maintain a couple of ICBM systems. One assignment was a contract for $3.2 billion to develop equipment for a missile they had not yet designed! It wasn't TRW pushing this, it was the USAF, with their "parallel development" policy. I had to produce cost estimates, design and validation schedules, manpower estimates, specifications, contracts for associate contractors, all for something that didn't yet exist. Every status meeting with my management and the commanding general I asked the same thing, "Why are we doing this? It makes no sense!" I could not stop the irresistible force of bureaucratic momentum. Anyone who's ever worked in the support equipment field knows that the fielded product will change repeatedly during development, rendering all support equipment developed to date useless. It was a massive waste of money from the get go. I could compare it to trying to design a graphics card for a PC that hasn't been designed yet, and create drivers when the CPU hasn't been selected, nor a buss specified. Happily, when peace broke out a year later, all our contracts were cancelled and we all got laid off.
Sometimes no matter how hard you try to put yourself out of work, stupidity overrules you.

Funny. About 25-30 years I was experimenting with anti-fuse FPGAs. It was the era just after the appearance of HDLs (Verilog, VHDL) with the first synthesis tools. In an effort to put another weapon in my consultant background, I was studying Verilog. To check my progress, I reverse-engineered a complex peripheral (UART) of an MCU of the time, Motorola's 6805. That code was asked of me by a couple of South American students (I don't really remember which countries). One day, sometime later, an American wrote to me and asked if the code was still available. I gladly sent it to him. After two days he tells me he has fixed a couple of minor problems in the code. I synthesized it with one of the early versions of Symplicity, and I knew it was fine. So I asked him what tool he was using. He told me he had taken it to a Mentor Graphics workstation. I was amazed, as I thought he was another student. At that time such a workstation, equipped with the right software, cost no less than $250,000. Finally, he qualified as an engineer in the "Missile and Electronics" department of McDonnell Douglas.
