Probably 70%-80% of the time, I am typing "falg" instead of "flag". Is happening this way pretty much for 45 years, and it is a word, specially when working in assembler, that is very frequently used...

'false' always comes out as 'flase'

Transform. Or anything else with n before s. The s always happens first unless I'm thinking about it.

Twitter Revenue and Usage Statistics (2022) - Business of Apps[^]
Twitter has only turned a profit 2 of the last 10 years (2018 & 2019). Cumulatively they're at a $1 billion loss. Obviously, something drastic needed to change - it's simply not sustainable.
I'm not saying Musk's approach will work in the long run... I have no idea. I personally find social media (in nearly all it's forms) to be very bad for society - so I'm hoping he fails. But the status quo at Twitter was sure to fail.

Nowhere am I advocating status quo. All I suggest is:
1. [tell them to] work hard as Elephant and be grateful
2. find an idea to work on
seems like the wrong order of things

mind you, I do not mind if he fails

It's hard for me to imagine that the man dropped $44 billion only to flush it all away so quickly but... we live in crazy times.

That is an effective way of filtering out most of your capable people.

If he can't fire the number of people he wants to get rid of, get them to choose to quit on their own. Then the company isn't on the hook for any sort of termination compensation.
Seems pretty obvious. Someone convince me that wasn't his strategy all along.
|

I'm still convinced he wants to punish the staff before he sinks the ship. I don't think he had any intention of making this a profitable endeavor, especially since he took it private as well.

While I wouldn't mind seeing Twitter disappear (for the scourge that it is), I don't see how this would ultimately had been his goal, even if he has the money to burn to do it.
If that's been his plan all along, then I thank him for taking that bullet. Y'know, for the sake of humanity. Then I would plead for him to do the same to Facebook.

I don't know, when I Google "High Intensity" all I get is HIIT high intensity training (aka working out really hard). Which includes a lot of health benefits from lowered body fat and heart rate, and lowered blood pressure, among others.
I can't possibly see any health benefits in working long hours at a high intensity.
