I can't imagine working for Twitter, in a position to fix things like this, and having to listen to Musk tell me to 'stay the course'. I know that everyone has a price, so their salary must be insanely good.
I suspect that only the true believers are left. There were _so_ many actions and warning signs over the last year I can’t imagine anyone thinking it was a good/stable place to work unless they really liked Musk.
I think there's still a bunch of people who have an audience and don't really care about the drama. They're there not to engage, or sell anything, but just to use it as a broadcast medium. But yes why would I ever talk to anyone there? I can just use nitter to read my neets and call it good.
For creators, I’ve heard other services offer much more useful interaction per follower, which would mean either Twitter followers often aren’t shown posts of a large cube of followers don’t care (likely bots).
I don’t think Musks behavior and obvious preferences should be ignored. But even without that it sounds like it’s dead at the core and more people figure it out every day.
I can't imagine the hell it must be to be stuck this way at X. Can you imagine being the engineer that gets the email "Elon wants Séamas O’Reilly suspended because he said some rude things about X" and you happen to be Irish?
Journalist says he finds it ‘surreal’ to have account on X suspended after writing critique of platform
Dunno how “new” it is… I’ve definitely got a big price difference and I’m pretty sure others will to…
Twitter, Tesla, Neuralink, Boring… all the non space Musk corps…. Quarter million if I don’t have to move from Australia, half million to a million depending on where I was going if it requires moving to the USA… I’d do it… but I’d basically have the resignation letter already drafted from day one…
For the rockets… I’d probably be happy with their normal pay offer… not being a US citizen basically makes it impossible for me to apply for a job with SpaceX so I’d take what I could get lol… and since Elon is clearly just glued to his phone tweeting… it’s not going to be the Elon show… Gwynne Shotwell is running the company like a level headed and competent management executive, the place is full of competent engineers who seem like pretty well adjusted people when they talk about their experiences after leaving, and they all seem to leave for normal reasons…
