I think the resentment was already there before. Plus, in my opinion, they did an excellent job framing the old Twitter team as lazy entitled social justice warriors, so I expect Trumps & Musks core target demographics to absolutely love those firings.

e.g. https://www.foxnews.com/media/twitter-workers-mocked-open-le... and the replies to https://twitter.com/TheCriticalDri2/status/15921735359378554...

A big question is going to be: Does the `Trumps & Musks core target demographics` who enjoy this narrative actually contain the talent pool to pull from? I don't know.
Lol, of course not.Most people/workers just don't want the headache.

They just want to be able to do a job and be compensated well so that they can have a life to enjoy. VERY VERY few people want to work 80 hours a week at Twitter for a reduced salary and stock options that sit behind all other investors and the billion dollar albatross Musk put around the company's neck.

The skeleton crew at Twitter today are H1B's that literally can't leave because the tech world is burning around them... and that's sad.

It seems like Musk’s more immediate problem is that it barely contains anyone interested in electric cars.
