I would obviously not want to work in such an environment, but. Given that he fired so many people, yet the site is working unchanged and works exactly the same as before, maybe he’s not that crazy?
I can log in to the website and see no difference; nothing is obviously broken. Maybe he’s right and most people were doing nothing? I don’t know.

- traveler01 4y agoI think what he means is that, things are basically on hold there and nothing has broken yet. So I think his point his kinda valid, Twitter doesn't need that much employees to work as expected. It's possibly a very low maintenance platform that can go for days without the need of any sort of maintenance.
