I’ve never been on Twitter in my life. Have no account at all. Can’t see any way this company would improve my life in any way. Same with any Social Media. YT gives me a large choice of alternate news outlets like AJ and RT, and these little posts are all the “free speech” I need.
INTELLIGENCY – WISDOM = ( ) ?? 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Go for a picnic
Work insanely but for what? Twitter is not a startup anymore so that level of energy won’t be there. It’s well established and has its own reputation. What is Elon incentivizing, money and good perks alone are not enough. In any case some perks like cafeteria food is no longer an option so what is he really offering. The name brand itself is already tarnished and seems to be getting worse by the day…
Its his business, he takes the lead now thatsnall there is to it
He was sleeping in a Tesla plant , then who was in Amber Heard’s room.
Dezz Nuts!
Spoken like a group of people who have never had a proper job in their lives, I don’t know the ins and outs but I imagine working for Twitter etc as Avery soft job, clueless workers!
Let’s remember he’s from the Apartheid system
40 hrs? My God! Piece of cake! Come here in the middle east and let us show you what long hours of work mean.
So most of the employees of twitter were people who wrote one line of code and left home. Now they are butthurt to work 40 hours a week which is okay for an average worker. Lol
90 percent of the employees resigned , only room service are left.
Elon musk, space Karen
Robert Maxwell comes to mind.
Amazon & Meta are firing ten of thousands employees. Any lawsuit against them as well?🤨
He his the man who knows what he does
Those that idolize Elon musk will find themselves in extreme pain, and destruction of their souls.
This man is possessed with demons, many, many demons.
not understood at all, The man paid 40 billion plus to purchase this company, And this is his company, he can do whatever he wants, whoever doesn’t agree or doesn’t suit him, just get up and leave, There are enough people out of work.
So what, everything doesn’t remain to be the same my friend news reporter! Do you understand Change Management?
They Worked hard and created millions for Company. Now where is the company when employees need you.
This a far right racist of a guy…he loves attention…
My favorite news agency🇺🇳🍾❤️
So 9-5 is too much now?
It’s too early too call. It was clear that he need to fix the company
You don’t have friends at work. They are employees and co-workers and bosses not friends.
First world problems. Hehe. Shift HQ to any SEA country and business will boom.
Back to the days of 40+ hours a week, self proven by one’s card stamped by the Clock. Eh ¿?
Get thee back to motors/spaceships, Mr Victorian manifest.
Why do Elon’s fanboys lack any IT experience or skill? They are completely useless to him…
They are leaving because the time of reckoning has arrived.
Useless people don’t wanna work
Run hypocrites (liberal media) run .. Feeling scared that he is coming to media and take away your ads? Hahaha… Your desperate attempts only shows your hypocrisy more clearly. Elon built his empire in 10 years on renewable tech. He will do to media what he did to car industry. You guys (liberal) are not media are not worth even his shoe sole (and ours) and Al Jazeera doesn’t even count as its a Qatari propaganda channel. First expose your emirs lies and justify how liberal media tolerates absolute dictatorship? Then have the audacity to criticize someone of the stature of Elon. Shame on you guys !! Be scared. He is coming for all of you 😀
Letting these megalomaniac narcissists run the world is not working guys! Stand your ground!
Next year this is a classic Harvard MBA case study on management style.
I predict a movie next year called How to be a Millionaire based on Musk.🤣
Ah… the “genius” of Elon the Musk, shining through once again. 😆
Tesla, space x, boring company. What else? The genius indeed. He has done a lot
@aquilifergroup Yes… Elon the Musk, inventor of the underground tunnel. What happened to the Hyper-loop?
I think Twitter need donation of $8
“Flee”?…… BS… . They told him loud and clear “TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT….I AIN’T WORKING HERE NO MORE”….. You “flee” out of fear….These folks are leaving out of DISGUST
This is “social” company is rotting the society, so I hope it burns down or better yet Elon succeeds and fixes some of the damages it has already done..
WhatsApp used to be run by 50 people while serving 1 Billion people…
Self Driving team at Tesla is 150 people.
Look at the future of twitter…
Did the right job….those are trash…he know what he does when he paid 44 bn dollar…Need a reshape of twitter…been slave of long time
There is the Sillicon Valley saying “Culture eats strategies for breakfast”
So if you have high goals and a bold strategy you first need to change your culture… in this example the whining cancel culture..
musk has not experienced being fired or laid off i supposed😡😡😡
Millionaires buy yachts, vineyards & chateaus. Billionaires buy NBA, NFL, football clubs. Elon Musk buys Twiiter for $44b and proceeds to turn it worthless. That’s trendsetting, FYI. 😂
40 hrs a week in the office? A crime against humanity ….🙄
He wants ppl to work 70-80 hours. I am sure they’ll have a lot of openings, feel free to apply.
😂😂😂
@Lorenzo Zampighi how do you work 70-80 hours? STFU.
AAAH😎….!!, YEAH……..!!, YO…………..!!, ℹ️ THINK💭…….!!, HE🙋🏼IS THE NEW BOSS & HE🙋🏼 CAN DO WHATEVER HE🙋🏼 WANTS PEOPLE😎🇺🇸 *** WHY DO PEOPLE😎 ACT LIKE👍🏻 THIS IS NEW, WHEN NEW MANAGEMENT & OWNERS TAKE OVER BUSINESSES👨💼 * YOU ALL HAD 6 MONTHS * T👀 A YEAR T👀 DECIDE YOUR FAITH, STAY OR LEAVE THE COMPANY, SO THAT’S ON YOU, IF YOU NOT PREPARED PEOPLE 😎🇺🇸 *** JUST LIKE👍🏻 IN GOVERNMENT🇺🇸 NEW PEOPLE😎 COME IN, THE OLD LEAVE WITH EVERYONE, SAME THING HERE PEOPLE 😎🇺🇸 *** ELON MUSK IS NOT OBLIGATED T👀 KEEP ANYONE PEOPLE 😎🇺🇸 *** HIS🙋🏼 BEING NICE👍🏻 OFFERING YOU T👀 STAY OR LEAVE WITH SEVERANCE PAY💰 OUT PEOPLE 😎🇺🇸 ***

Only that guy should work in that company now, nobody else.
hahaha musk is getting new employees from shanghai tesla factory
Shame.. They forced Musk to buy Twitter or face legal action.. WTF did they expect to happen?..
Good on Musk, go hard buddy..
Musk proved to be a complete idiot in this deal
Hahaha that their choice,
Elon can replace all of them .
What this media will not tell you is that he fire many people and at the same time hire many new employee. He is firing lazy employee to don’t want to work long.
Elon Musk is applying Karl Marcus surplus value theory v,z
Get the twitter soy boys packing
Im sure there are skilled and hard workers at twitter but I’ve seen many videos of employees just lounging around the cafe and drinking coffee on while on zoom meetings. Elon is cleaning up shop lol
Al Jazeera surely being a Qatari company knows a thing or two about “Hardcore” extreme working conditions. 😏
Justice to the exploited migrant workers ✊
So anti musk propaganda at full throttle…
Those 44B is gone for nothing while exTwitter will build new twitter in no timeee 👍👍😂😂🤣😂🤣
OHHH NOOO THEY MIGHT HAVE TI WORK HARD FOR A LITTLE BIT
Great work, Musk. I like his work ethics.
Headmaster headmaster headmaster oh headmaster…new CEO is school headmaster…so sing headmaster…😀
I was working sometimes 50-60 hours a week in the office to keep up with the projects, and they are running away from 40 hours.
He is asking for them to work 80.
Loving all the drama. The keyboard-warriors going crazy
All staff should walk out….let him know he cann’t do anything without them (employee)….let the company go bankrupt…..
Hire people who work
There is nothing wrong with asking workers to be at work . Nothing.
I Have no Dog in this fight you have a South African J3W Musk on one side and Z10N15T Controlled BIg Tech on the Other who manipulated lies for years, i say let them destroy each other.
Besides core engineering team, Twitter don’t need lot of people to run. I know it’s difficult for people to believe but Twitter would still be running even if Elon fired 90% of it’s staff. Most people that are leaving are from supporting staff not engineering team.
Then some other media platform will come along and steal their lunch.
Yet those supporting staff is the one directly in contact with end users.
Of course twitter can sack them, but less staff processing the complaint ticket from end user means many tickets will likely not be processed at all.
@はいはん E that’s the thing about support staff. You can replace them. You can also replace engineering team but it’s easy to replace support staff.
@Lorenzo Zampighi that’s not how network effect work. You can code Twitter like website in a day it’s that easy. But you can’t bring millions of people, it takes decades
Easier but not that easy. They need proper training to complete task correctly and efficiently, and those training ain’t fast nor cheap either.
I really hope Twitter crashes under him. Assh***l
Corporate raiding level 1000
I will not buying anything from Elon Musk, no Tesla vehicles, no twitter.
Let he sells his products to the haters MAGA
“Elon musk took over Twitter to empower people”
The night gets darkest before the down Good job Elon
People aren’t working like this anymore. They won’t be abused by working hardcore and then be fired on a whim.
They just were treated exactly as you described. That’s the norm outside of some very few industries.
Who is this snowflake ❄️ they have on??
twitter is crumbling, but i bealive that Elon has everything under control inside the company, however, a lot of twitter users might not comeback to the app
I am thinking of joining Twitter now 👍🏻
Terrorist media?
598th like.
This is fantastic, the amount of true slackers and takers in the workforce across the west is astounding. About half of my company could be fired and the show would run just the same but he twice as profitable. We are only just keeping heads above water now
That’s not just west. It is everywhere. Companies usually get enormous benefits from governments for hiring more resources. There will be chaos worldwide if half of the workforce loses their jobs. Even companies will lose because jobless people won’t be able to buy anything, and eventually, the government will have to pay for those unemployed people. That means you will pay for them. Hence the trend. Once everything cools down twitter will start hiring again.
Great job Elon!
I hope it fails
just look at Twitter stock to understand what is doing !! this guy is good for business 😎😎
The situation is not worsening as this lady says he’s cleaning the swamp
1:15 Working 40 hours a day is absolutely normal. I work 6 days a week, so, at least, 50 hours. My job is also a bit physically active, but I like it. Americans are just lazier than Africaners. Musk is an Africaner (a white South African). And Musk is a truly great, smart and progressive person.
You don’t fuquing know any real Americans to say someone is lazy. more than half of Americans work in physical labor and chit gets done. I live here and everyone I ever known to work a permanent job works 40+ hours a week. you don’t know jack chit.
@James Elliott But why did many people leave the Twitter offices, because Musk forbids to work part-time? Are many Twitter IT specialists lazy in particular? Or they’re just anti-Musk and prefer to be jobless?
@Ann SH-EN Bruh(read Sis), you think those people with all that experience and history on one job will remain jobless for long? This is USA. There are more jobs than there are people to work them. Also, I do think those people are not in particular lazy but entitled, yes.
That Twitter dump!!
Reality check about time!!!
Its a strategy! Twitter stocks will rise sooner like tesla!
Lack of sleep among workers explains why Tesla vehicles catch fire.
No wonder they are leaving… Now they have to work for the first time in their life probably.
Extreem to them as he asked them to do some work, a concept their unfamiliar with!
GOOD let em go
So sad that people are incapable of hard work these days. 😭 I wonder what type of “work” ex-Twitter employees are capable of🤷♀️
😂 check out the Babylon Bee’s comedy sketch of a Twitter employee in a job interview 😂
I’m sure they are ALL replaceable
Move Twitter to Guadalajara, we have plenty of tech geeks who would sign up under Musk. Probably bring a sleeping bag no problem. We don’t have rich silver spoon kids here like the USA. Bring Twitter to Mexico !
Facebook and Google just announced massive layoffs. Elon makes all the unmotivated leave by themselves. – Plenty of software engineers from Google and Facebook looking for jobs.
Go Elon
Love it.. He needs to learn No Man is an Island.. that entitlement doesn’t guarantee you..
I stand with elon musk…it is his company allow him to do with it wat he likes to do with it
Move out of the US. Move to Far-east Asia or Dubai, plenty of supportive governments with better labor force options and an overall better lifestyle for him and his family. More Millionaires and Billionaires are moving to Dubai. No woke there, just good formative governments in a very safe country with the best airport in the world for example. America is over.
Cut out the rot and hire talented people with same vision who will work !
People are so used to getting handouts that they are scared of real life work now a days.
40 hours is too much and none of the work is physical labor. This chit sounds like a The Onion video.Who went to work with a sleeping bag? Tool. So you work 12 hours a day? In an office? Oh, the fuquing humanity.
I’m here for it elon.
Two things that are bad for the world Musk and Twitter.
