I don't get all this antipathy towards what Musk is doing. It's an established maxim of the venerated Warren Buffet that the very first thing you need to do after buying a company is clean house, and get rid of the people who put it in the shape that made it buyable to begin with, starting, and especially, at the top.

- TheRealDunkirk 4y agoYou suggest you don't even know if it's necessary to cut staff, but if you had bought Twitter, currently losing money for 3 years in a row, what would you do to turn the ship around more "respectfully?" I think most people who are whinging about this -- especially here, on this forum -- are people who wouldn't think twice, if this were happening at any other big "Web 2.0" company. And, in fact, they'd probably cheer on the "decisive" and "courageous" leadership. I think they just don't like Musk, and don't like that he's bought Twitter, because they believe the narrative -- as I've seen many people suggest -- that it's going to somehow veer hard right, and become 4chan 2.0.
- narrator 4y agoThe line between public and private has been blurring very badly since 2016. People are treating Twitter like it's an extension of the executive branch and somehow it's illegal for Musk to just buy it and run it how he sees fit.
