Twitter Inc on Wednesday was hit with a lawsuit accusing it of refusing to pay at least $500 million in promised severance to thousands of employees who were laid off after Elon Musk acquired the company.
It’s just news. And nowadays this just means it’s panic and excessive exaggeration and a pinch of populism.
Since the company is now in private hands of only one person, there is no need to paint a picture for the public.
And with the efforts of making it more economical, there are of course hurdles to overcome.
But overall most decisions were reasonable. The provider change and the change to the financial model were reasonable and will eventually lead to more profits, also with a smaller team behind the platform.
Many here want to see the company fall, just because a person is bought it that’ll whom they despise. That’s just childish.
The only bad decision on musks way so far was buying twitter for simply too much.
And the second worst decision was shooting a shitty car into space. Now the aliens will believe us to have no standards.
Well, well, well, look who’s defending their beloved billionaire. It’s truly fascinating how some people can overlook glaring issues and defend questionable decisions. Let’s dissect your defense, shall we?
Firstly, you claim that since Twitter is now in private hands, there’s no need to paint a picture for the public. Ah, yes, because transparency and accountability are such outdated concepts, right? Who needs the public’s trust when one person can make all the decisions behind closed doors? It’s not like Twitter is a platform that millions of people rely on for news, communication, and information.
You also applaud the efforts to make the platform more economical, but conveniently ignore the consequences. Sure, reducing the team might save some money, but what about the impact on content moderation? By firing a significant number of content moderation staff, Twitter has allowed extremist content to flourish, tarnishing its reputation and driving away advertisers. But hey, who needs ad revenue when you have a billionaire at the helm, right?
Speaking of advertisers, you seem to brush off the importance of brand safety and the impact of hate speech on ad placements. Advertisers understandably don’t want their brands associated with extremist views or hate speech. By failing to address this issue effectively, Musk has driven away advertisers, causing a significant loss of revenue for Twitter. It’s not “childish” for people to criticize such negligence; it’s simply holding a company accountable for its actions.
And let’s not forget Musk’s refusal to pay rent on Twitter’s offices. It’s truly admirable how he thinks he can just disregard contractual obligations and leave property owners high and dry. Such behavior shows a complete disregard for the law and basic decency.
Oh, and the whole bedroom installation in the San Francisco headquarters? That’s just downright creepy. Who in their right mind thinks it’s acceptable to convert a commercial space into a residential one without proper zoning? Musk’s actions in this regard are not only inappropriate but also demonstrate a lack of respect for regulations and the communities in which his company operates.
While it’s true that many billionaires own media outlets, that doesn’t excuse Musk’s questionable decisions and mismanagement. Controlling the narrative should never come at the expense of allowing hate speech and extremism to run rampant. Musk’s actions on Twitter are not the signs of a genius businessman; they’re the actions of someone more interested in their own ego and power.
So, before you rush to defend your beloved Musk, take a step back and consider the real consequences of his decisions. Twitter deserves better leadership and accountability, not blind adoration from its defenders.
I am just trying to explain basic economy to a bunch of angry emotional people.
But you are of course free to believe that everything would be better without people like musk.

Oh man. I just answered you to every point and then the Memmy app crashed. And my comment in the making was gone.
I am not willing to repeat everything in a foreign language.
We will not agree anyway.
The world will continue to spin around. And platforms will come and go over the years.
Good and bad is a matter of taste. And who are we to degrade another’s taste as bad…
I hope he pays you for this kind of oral service.

You are trying to sound superior, and it is not going well.
I’m not trying to sound superior. My knowledge about economy simply exceeds yours.
