- sizeable headcount reduction, revenue per employee is so far out of line with other tech companies that I simply do not see him avoiding it. META 1.5mio USD, GOOG 1.7, TWTR 700k. There might be a discussion as to why it should be lower, but it cannot be half of META. 30-40% minimum as a start.

- Moderation to be reduced, but not as much as some people would hope.

- Where can people leave to? TikTok is the only real alternative but it still has the natsec issues. As much as a lot of people complain that they wouldn't want to be on a less regulated Twitter they have no place to leave to. So no user attrition IMO.

The thing is, you don’t have to leave to anywhere. If the content on a platform annoys me too much, I don’t leave to someplace, I just leave.
Moderation is important. I can’t imagine how those on the moderation team feel, letting repeat offenders back on the platform. My guess is most would rage quit
Aren't repeat offenders generally let back on any platform?

Lifetime bans are pretty rare so once the ban expires the person is allowed back.

> Musk also intends to do away with permanent bans on users because he doesn’t believe in lifelong prohibitions, the person said.[0]
