Well, well, speak of gaslighting. The twitter employees have been hostile to him since before him buying this dumpster fire was ever a rumor. People are almost exclusively talking about his politics.

Unless I report to him directly his management style is hardly my problem. Even if it is directly, well.. honestly don't find that stressful either. If he is being a stupid idiot I'd tell him just that, have in the past. Sometimes, folks like that are even appreciative of the candid feedback.

What is the worst that can happen, I get fired? Please. At worst it isn't a fit, I honestly don't get the big deal and people get so emotionally invested in this stuff.

I get hired to problem solve. If management is not living in reality part of the gig is to push back. Don't value my input we can part amicably, it is only a gig, not life and death.

That's exactly what is happening

Do you currently work there or are you part of the peanut gallery?

And please, I beg you, don't give me a tirade about politics or offensive tweets. I am not interested.

If Elon has wrong notions about spambots, checkmarks, which datastore to use, project deadline estimations - great, sounds like every company ever. He probably does, so what. And if I put you in charge you probably will drift away from reality in short order.

All you can do is push back and say stuff like: 'actually it will take x7 your estimates because of these concrete reasons' or 'that spam algo won't fix it because you haven't considered x,y,z here is statistical proof'.

Otherwise nucleus will get behind schedule: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddTbNKWw7Zs

If nobody believes you or listens, well you are on the record. Who cares. Maybe you get fired maybe you get promoted.

Twitter has been languishing anyway there is really nothing to lose by giving it a proper go. Sounds like fun to me actually.

All the whiners seem to be able to talk about is everything except, you know, the actual work.

Honestly the whiners can just bail already, quit the company and the website. Go to Mastodon and stop caring. Life is short.
