That’s what they said about Elon firing 80% of Twitter’s staff. But X is doing pretty well.
replyFor some definition of pretty well which doesn't include human user numbers, revenue, profit, or ratio of humans to bots
replyPretty well from an engineering perspective. But they've lost so many advertisers because it's intentionally not very moderated.
replyThe site is currently running, yes. Don't forget it went down quite often immediately following the mass firing though. They seem to have fixed that.
replyThere was certainly a ton of bloat to trim, but the haphazard "just pick 80% of the people and fire them" was incredibly stupid. Should have chosen whoever was producing the bloat, at least.
Pretty well if you don't mind some features being built twice or three times and appearing inconsistently at different screens, or users being able to bypass usage limits by pressing the back button on the usage limit sign...
replyTwitter was never a profitable business. You actually renforce his point.
reply(Maybe that was intended I might have missed some irony here)
I'd be shocked if a ton of contractors haven't worked for X since then
replymost people don’t. that’s why they are employees.
