> I think they did an effective job completely Turning public opinion against twitter employees. Painting them as dead weight and woke stooges for the FBI. I disagree. From what I've seen, the only people holding anything against Twitter employees are those with a political bent that makes them inclined toward belief in a grand conspiracy to suppress conservative views. Like everything else political, it's a Rorschach test where people on the right-leaning fringe say "yeah, fuck those lazy/woke/entitled/whatever employees" and everyone else is left shaking their heads about how Elon is running the company and the brand (of Twitter, himself, and his other businesses) into the ground. Even conservative financial media like the Wall Street Journal have been critical or at least skeptical of his moves, so I don't think it's accurate to say everyone is in agreement that the employees were the problem. Twitter was doing fine before Elon. They were not blowing anyone's socks off with financial performance, but they were relatively stable for the long term and could have got through the recession with a much more modest layoff similar to what you're seeing in other companies. Elon is solely responsible for tipping the company into an aggressive nosedive by saddling the company with massive debt and single-handedly tanking revenue by scaring away advertisers with his $8 blue check impersonation crisis and many other erratic policy changes.
