I don't think so, considering how Twitter is somehow running better with 80 percent of personnel removed

  You could be right, but it's not like a large software project instantly falls apart if people leave. It'll keep running for a while but cracks will start to develop and nobody will be around to patch them up.

    Aha. And what if someone is there, from the remaining 20%, to patch them up?

      Those people are going to have to work a lot of overtime I guess? We'll see :)

  > I don't think so, considering how Twitter is somehow running better with 80 percent of personnel removed reply I believe you are getting downvoted (and now flagged and removed from the thread) for not substantiating your comment. HN does not seem to like single-line comments that do not provide info. But I have to ask. Do you have any info or stats that shows that Twitter is really running better? By what metrics is it running better? Honest question.

  A drop of 75%-80% in revenue doesn't seem like its anyone's definition of "running better".

I know you are joking but Tesla had an entire team devoted to making sure Elon does not fuck up important things. I believe it is well documented that critical personnel were hidden when he was visiting the factories to avoid getting them rage-fired

  I want to believe this but I can't find a source, can you share where you've read this?

    These stories came from a former Tesla manager. But if you want a reputable source: https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-tesla-life-inside-gigafactory/ https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-tesla-life-inside-giga...
