In fact, now that he has officially become the legal owner of the popular social media site, he has launched a barrage of new actions that have left advertisers and executives reeling. It is rumoured that Musk plans to lay off 75% of Twitter’s 7,500 employees. Though unconfirmed, one of his first actions as the new owner was to fire the entire Board of the company, including CEO Parag Agrawal. His mass layoffs may prove costly though, as the executive […]

Its a good job it got delisted.

The share price would be in freefall otherwise. As it stands users and advertisers will simply vote with their feet.

Other platforms are available.

Im still skeptical but he is making great changes.  I have personally avoided that platform in the past but have finally signed up now that the free flow of ideas is gonna be a thing again.  

"His mass layoffs may prove costly though, as the executive have a nine-figure departure package plan," 

He fired them "with cause" which means they wont be getting those.

Good move by Elon Musk fire all the Left Wing Activist and get some staff capable off doing the job.

The Jury is still out on Musk but he's making the right moves so far.

I always had a hard time taking anything on Twitter seriously since it began with a competition between Ashton Kutcher and Larry King for the most followers. It has turned into another "get off my lawn" platform just like Facebook did. The cranks will simply move on to sucking the fun out of TikTok next.

There is not a snowball's chance in hell you knew the Twitter's board members!! 5555

 

But like everything else about Musk and Twitter, I don't see why anyone is freaking out, the guy bought a company and can do whatever he wants with it

Exposing Twitter’s political alignment  while taking sides prior to Musk take over will be a high water mark for many curious minds imop.

Twitter was run by liberals and their not happy with relinquishing their control of free speech ! I suspect the opposition are gonna try all matters of malfeasance to try to disable Musks businesses.

So you're now claiming to know which news sources I follow here in Pattaya from your Liberal bastion of Vancoucer Marc?.

You're starting to sound like Vijaya Gadde herself 5555

[thaicm]

This one was a no-brainer.  I want nothing to do with that piece of human garbage, the day he finalized the sale was the day I deleted my Twitter account.

[HiuMak]

First thing to make a business profitable is to fire expensive staff.   Change Management 101.

It's tough enuf running an multinational company such as tesla. Like Trump with potus, Musk doesn't need a thorn in the side by acquiring twitter. I believe the reason is to restore some freespeech, transparency & balance in society.

The world & especially USA, is gripped by sensorship overstretch on anything that is not aligned w the APPROVED narratives, by the likes of Twitter, google, YouTube, MSM.... whether it be LGBTQ, Covid, Ukraine/Taiwan or just paul pelosi.

Yes

 

Again, you absolutely did not know who the Twitter board members were

 

To keep insisting you did is high comedy 5555

Layoffs at Twitter are only what is happening, across Silicon Valley. The rise of the digital economy provided for surplus elites, many of whom will lose out during a downturn
