Unfortunately what EM does and Twitter does is being watched extremely closely by the entire tech industry, so like it or not it has massive ripple effects. We saw this when Twitter cut staff to a shoestring, and suddenly other companies also started cutting costs, assuming those costs were unnecessary overhead.

You're blaming the entire tech industry downturn on Twitter? That's just too much. They weren't even the first tech company to do layoffs!

Again, it's just too fun to pin this on the nutjob CEO with the bad takes. But step back and... it's just not that notable. Well, except for the employees laid off. I'm not saying I'd want to work for the guy, but even then "asshole tech bro CEOs" are a dime a dozen too.

No company slashed 90pct of staff in attempting to follow Twitter. Most just overhired during the pandemic. Twitter doesn't even have an ad sales team anymore.
