I assume he was smart enough to keep the operations staff (SREs, etc.)

This Musk, never make assumptions like that:

A couple of former Twitter people I know have made similar comments hearing that plenty of good ops people were cut. That sounds like the usual PE death cycle getting started: they’re not critical to daily operations so things are fine and you can say “look, I’m a smart manager” until something breaks. After a while, customers get tired of declining service and the process accelerates.

That's terrible. Those are absolutely the people you'd want to keep.
Yeah, I want that to be a mistake because even after watching Musk be so impulsive over the years I have trouble believing he’d do that so rashly.
