This article is a crock of shit, pure Elon propaganda. Be careful what you take away from it.
Twitter is about to die. It's not going to limp along along for awhile. Elon killed it. He smashed the infrastructure.
Twitter is already dead. Literally. What’s happening now is the corpse cooling down.
And then he drove off all the people who could fix it.
This is Your Ministry of Magic: Twitter has Fallen, Twitter has Fallen -- Only the Slaves are left.
Most of Elon's "success" is built on the manipulation of government subsidies.
Tesla has actually not made ANY money on car sales.
ALL of the "profits" have come from "carbon emissions credits" purchased by other companies to "offset" their pollution.
Elon sells "Greenwash" to polluters.
China, the European Union, and at least 14 U.S. states have climate laws that require automakers to produce and sell a certain percentage of electric cars compared to gas-powered cars. These climate laws are actually how Tesla has made most of its profits.
Because the company sells only EVs, they receive lots of carbon credits from governments — $1.5 billion worth in 2021, to be exact — which they then sell to other car companies that aren’t meeting the electric vehicle target. Only last year did Tesla begin making profits without the help of carbon credits.
from “Heated” reporting.
Add to that the fact that the "waiting list" for a new Tesla is now about 18-24 months. But you have to put a deposit down right now. Basically giving your money to Elon to invest in crypto currencies.
Which he is under SEC investigation for, for his "pattern of price manipulation".
Tesla isn't a car company. It's a 'Carbon Credit Harvester' and pyramid scheme.
Here’s Elon, the “Great Motivator” in his own words in the Epistle he sent out to Twitter workers last Wednesday.
The FAQ starts, “As you have seen, Twitter is at the beginning of an exciting journey.”
Mr. Musk said Twitter remained over-staffed after mass layoffs of half of the company’s 7,500 employees last week. Remaining workers needed to be more “hard core”.
This is Cult Speak for “do lots of unpaid labor to show your devotion to the Great Leader”.
The F.A.Q. added that employees would have to “maximize working from an office” and “work the hours necessary to do your job at the highest level,” including early mornings, late nights and weekends.
Translation: We want you in the compound at all times so that group pressure will make you work harder. “You don’t want to let down the others do you”? Works better if you have to look them in the face.
This also tells you who Elon wants working for him. Notice how exclusionary it is?
Older workers, workers with families, workers with spouses cannot work these kinds of hours. They cannot “live at the office” for weeks at a time. Elon doesn't want them.
He wants the young and the unattached.
That’s the demographic Cults always target.
Musk said they would need to work hard — very hard. “In an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hard core,” he wrote. “This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.”
He is watching your performance. He sees all. He “grades” everyone. Only “the exceptional” those who are “extremely hard core” will earn his love and be allowed the privilege of working at Twitter 2.0.
Engineering will be the primary focus, Mr. Musk added, with design and product management taking a back seat. He included a link to an online form asking employees to confirm their interest in working at Twitter.
On Blind, a social platform where anonymous users talk about their workplaces, a poll of nearly 250 people associated with Twitter showed that about 73 percent favored taking the severance package over staying. Which shows you that HR professionals know what they are talking about.
Ultimately by 5PM Thursday, 88% of Twitter’s original staff from the previous week had resigned or been fired. Elon exceeded expectations.
I'm sure the 12% of staff who remain will prove me wrong. Twitter is dead. This guy knows nothing.
