Is it over the top? Yeah but most modern companies offer free coffee, yoga, etc. Issue is Elon has gone to far on the other end... We will see how this plays out. I am intrigued by how he is going about this. More to come I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part 4 will be payed by us Taxpayers if Twitter goes bankrupt. He has enough money it should be up to him to get Twitter out of this. Not us! I wish him success but not on my dime.

LiterateStylish Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Here is an article touching on what I am talking about. Elon isn’t dumb. This was his plan all along. Things are going exactly how he planned it. https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/18/elon-musk-talked-about-laying-off-75-of-employees-he-may-have-just-gotten-his-wish/amp/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAK5rTgecDR8dX5ETtBN0ZfV4JRLhqo3SfNXw56wrxr8XiMEl51LGWHKWdrCGC4qN1D9vpEbFHvNAjGtIRQjG9htPv5LxGYKP5ZWutvqrmiMNKIXfWVTWeBgbhiOYc4kUsoXajRxSttaRTJYYPyP69RkXUJYVhGLZTM0Pt0Pchxul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICRockets2 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 4 hours ago, LiterateStylish said: No it’s not. Google has very cool perks (like chef lunches, daycare, hair salon, etc) but they also have an EXTREMELY competitive work environment. If you aren’t producing, you’re GONE. Google’s acceptance rate for hires is 0.2% Their employees aren’t playing foosball to unwind at 11am or getting a free iced mocha or grabbing some wine and sitting on the roof. Good job skipping my other post. I'll repeat: this was this employee's first time in that office. She doesn't work there. She works remote. When she talks about having multiple meetings that day, it's reasonable to assume that those meetings ARE THE REASON she's there. Which means playing foosball IN BETWEEN THE SCHEDULED MEETINGS is an entirely reasonable decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiterateStylish Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 4 hours ago, ICRockets2 said: Why would this happen It’s already happening. When they released the $8 plan thousands were signing up just to fuck with people. They have to fix that but the overall plan will be extra features that users have begged for (editing tweets) and private DM’s and verified check marks. If they can get half of one percent of their user base to pay $8, then that’s close to a billion per year by itself. As for advertisers, many never left. You only heard about the big ones like GM - who probably left more so because Musk is a competitor for GM’s hybrid line that anything else. But yeah, advertisers go where people are. Twitter is now more popular than ever. Twitter just hit an all-time high in usage. Some will wait for the hoopla to die down and then hop back on board.

Unless I'm doing my math wrong, you're catastrophically fucking stupid. One half of one percent of 400 million users is 2 million. 2 million subs at $8/mo for 1 year is $192M. Furthermore, that's an insane "if" considering about 100,000 people signed up for Twitter Blue to start with. That's one half of one percent of the one half of one percent you're saying Musk needs to make TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS A FUCKING YEAR.

The point is that whatever money they get from users is gravy. Twitter has survived this long on advertisers alone and if he takes them to BK (which I think he will), he will offload massive debt. He has already slashed tons of monthly expenses with the firing and severance of employees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyone with a brain knew Musk was going to reinstate Trump, And don't give that bs about it being decided by a vote. If you believe that I have a nice bridge I can sell you cheap. 2 Quote [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
