Well when Twitter envitably collapses due to tech reasons, legal reasons or it just plain goes bankrupt. And given that a lot of companies have already been forced to back down on back to the office. Yes, who holds the power will be clear for all to see.

I trust the guy that was able to land rocket back on earth reliably to be able to keep a very simple tech product alive. Right now to me it looks that people in our industry desperately wants twitter to fail - otherwise it will validate Elon Musk's assessment that the laid off were just drones (in the Wodehouse sense of the word) and know that other corporations will take notice and probably do massive layoffs just for the sake of it.

  I can't speak for a company like Twitter, but I suspect that many individuals in tech at other companies don't have it so easy. If you think, CEOs around the USA are going to look at what Elon has done and fire half their tech staff, I think you are nuts.

  The issue ReptileMen is that Elon Musk DID NOT land any rockets, hell he didn't even setup SpaceX. He just brought his way into SpaceX. Elon Musk's one true achievement is PayPal, nothing more, nothing less.
