Come on, no one could see _this_ coming. Let's be honest, what Musk is doing is surreal and bizarre.
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoFair enough, but only around the edges. I mean, it was definitely clear he would: 1. be laying off a shitload of people - he flat out said so pretty early on. 2. that he would drive those that remained extremely hard. Anyone who works at Tesla or SpaceX can verify that. 3. this is kind of a follow on from the first 2, but once it became clear about the financing behind the Twitter LBO, that Musk would be under a ton of pressure to reduce expenses and grow revenue just to pay off the additional billion dollars in annual interest. Yes, the clown-show chaos is pretty extreme, even by Musk's standards. But a have no sympathy for anyone that still remains that doesn't have visa issues to worry about. And, indeed, I'd assume the only people who still are remaining are there by choice given all the great opportunities they've had to leave (3 months severance for quitting is a great deal).
