Elon Musk asks Twitter users to vote on reinstatement of Donald Trump
Elon Musk has posted a poll on Twitter asking users to vote on whether former US President Donald Trump, who was banned from the social media site by its previous owners, should be reinstated. The Twitter boss accompanied it with the words: "Vox Populi, Vox Dei" - a Latin phrase meaning "the...
The fact that it's still operating with a fraction of its former staff suggests it was bloated and cutting the fat was long overdue (plenty former employees who may be serving coffee at Starbucks soon). Will it survive? I can't see the future... but it remains the 4th largest site on the internet.
Buying the social media platform wasn't the wisest choice for a guy on the autism spectrum.

That entails thinking that the former management was so incompetent that they retained 4 or 5 times the # of staff that was needed for no apparent reason. That doesn't strike me as a reasonable assumption. One must assume that a successful site is managed appropriately and that Musk is either cutting back drastically on service level or that Musk - a newcomer to the business, known to be previously erratic - has no idea what he is doing.The fact that it's still operating with a fraction of its former staff suggests it was bloated and cutting the fat was long overdue (plenty former employees who may be serving coffee at Starbucks soon).

Hopefully no to trump as well.
Remember the Op posted do you think Twitter will survive and I said “Hopefully no because I’ve kinda of enjoyed not being drawn into WW 3”
If that space Karen allows trump to get back on, all trump will do is spew his craziness, cause chaos, support Russia, etc. which in turn will mess up the world even more.
Why would you think that?
It isn't the kind of thing that would just fall apart overnight.
Have outages gone up?
Have their been security vulnerabilities?
Will all these escalate given there is no longer sufficient staff?
How are ads being handled given the staff that was doing that is also probably gone?
How are new features being developed if the R&D team has been sacked?
Twitter down? Current status and problems
Current status for Twitter. Is the website down? Error signing in? Find out what is going on.

Musk would be remiss not to take his potential liability seriously.
You are quoting Dinesh. You lose.
Nothing has changed other than useless staff have been let go by the thousands.Why would you think that?

Again if those staff were hired and maintained by professional managers over a long period of time, it's difficult to assume that they were "useless". You have to assume that they performed useful jobs. I can see if there was a 5% or 10% layoff that there may have been some over-staffing. But these terminations have been huge and abrupt and poorly handled. Even if you get all woody about an alpha male telling his underlings that they have to work twice as many hours or hit the road, the staff that say fuck you and quit have wrongful dismissal lawsuits. Elmuss simply cannot legally change the conditions of hiring unilaterally and abruptly like that.
The real situation seems to be that Elmuss has fired many workers who are in fact necessary and Twitter will degrade and fall apart bit by bit over the next few months. There will be service issues, security issues, marketing issues, etc. And eventually the users will migrate to another platform, leaving Twitter worthless.
Elmuss has a track record of doing bizarre shit over the last few years. Could be that he's sicker mentally than people thought.
I have little reason to trust Dorsey's "blue sky" thing - it isn't like Twitter didn't have all kinds of problems when he was in charge.
Mastadon has some serious limitations but seems the best thing so far.
I'm keeping an eye on some of the other projects floating around out there.

Yeah because your dumbass would know who is useful and who isn't. foh. lol
That said, I think while Twitter might have some issues in the short term it will be fine in due course. Elon will eventually rehire more people.
