https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/20/musk-twitter-acquisition-staff-cuts/

Elon Musk could be set to slash Twitters headcount drastically once his $44 billion deal for the social network goes through.

The mega-billionaire has told potential investors in the Twitter deal that he plans to lay off almost 75% the companys staff, or about 5,500 employees, to reduce the size of its workforce from 7,500 to just over 2,000, the Washington Post reported, citing anonymous sources and documents.

There's been mass layoffs all across the tech industry lately so this isn't that surprising.

This. Though maybe all those people are necessary with how big it is. I don't really know the specifics.

If gamefaqs.gamespot.fandom.com only needs 3 people to run it, then Twitter probably only needs like 5 people tops.

Allowing people of same backgrounds to be able to get together over long distances has helped marginalized groups get together in ways that wouldn't have been possible before the internet was invented.

Don't worry, with Musk's terrible management it will. Assuming he doesn't sell it first to cut his losses.

Countless jobs of questionable worth and title is just a cornerstone of capitalism. You aren't some lazy anti capitalist are you?

Wait, you're telling me that Elon is going to use his dubiously acquired wealth to enter into an industry and completely fuck over thousands of people with shitty labor policies and poor business models, all so he can cash in on the market speculation associated with his name being attached to a product or service?

Say it isn't so!

How is it ironic? The quality of the moderation here isnt proportional to the number of mods.

Adding a hundred or a thousand more mods wont fix quality control, mod consistency, alts ban evading
