EM->sr engs: "Why did so many good engineers leave?" Sr engs: ... (Because you're an a.h.) People without equity should refuse to work like indentured servants for peanuts only to be told "they're not working hard enough". It's the only way to teach EM a lesson about hubris. $50 says Twitter will die down to a skeleton staff and be kept afloat by third-rate MSPs. No one will want to work on that creaky, steaming pile of poo for a billionaire jerk.

Elon musk is 50 and filthy rich. No matter how hard he gets burned by twitter, he will not be learning.

  While I suspect this is the case, this is also looking like his first high-profile expensive failure. If Twitter survives, he might grow up a lot during the process.

>... work like indentured servants ... I'm sorry but are you reading what you're putting down here? These people are making ridiculous swathes of money doing piss easy work, let's not go overboard with the hyperbole here I do hope Twitter dies a painful death, however, so I'm with you on that bet

  Working for musk is NEVER piss easy work. That's the point. You could be a god-tier coder, able to literally rebuild twitter in a weekend, but elon is one of those managers that will try and micromanage every little thing you do, get pissed if you tell him no, not understand when you try and explain to him, and yet still find a way to call you stupid after saying literal technobabble to the aide next to him.
