At this speed, by the end of year 2022, Elon Musk will be the only person working in / for Twitter!

    Wonder if GSMArena's Twitter account will ever get verified. Perhaps Elon starts selling blue check marks in order to make profits

          Step 1, introduce a measurement to earn more cash

          Step 2, fire employees so you spend less

          Step 3, enjoy your filthy ways of earning cash by screwing everyone else up

And if Elon does break the law with the way he makes them redundancies then I hope he is held appropriately accountable

                            Twitter is a virtual platform, not selling any physical goods. Where is the actual value in this company?

                            Yet, company like this could worth up to 4xx millions, I agreed Elon said that this company is so overpriced, and no profit in eight of the past ten years.

                            You'll only need 200 people in a room when you are moving a piano.

                                Now those same people are outraged that a private company is doing what it wants. Can't have it both ways
