I would even go so far as to say that an indiscriminate/anonymous poll of probably any profession in the world would net similar comments. Heck, just listen to how Disney employees rate that company…..


….yet, they stay.

These overall poll percentages are pretty good honestly, especially from a large scale employer like TESLA.

Yes!

Mortgages,financial commitments and general inertia and perhaps own shares (makes a lot of people turn a blind eye
Whatever but blaming employees for failing to leave doesn't make the confrontational boss who squeezes a good un.

Did you make money on the stocks you bought or not? This seems like a "learning" is you learned just fine. If you lost, okay, well, then bad move. Bad timing.

He bought the company. He can fire every last person if that's what he want's to do. I haven't heard of anyone being unable to access twitter or tweet so I'm not exactly sure the firings are being "felt" at the moment. Maybe it will all break tomorrow, I have no idea, but as of now it seems to all be working fine.

The good news is Elon Musk is turning Twitter' headquarters into a homeless shelter

The bad news is, it can only house 280 characters, or less

Poor twitter employees who didn’t do jack shit for 10 years and think they’re invaluable. I’ve asked this 5 times in this thread - what platform improvements has Twitter since since 2010

Agreed! Four thousand employees gone and Twitter is just fine. It just goes to show you that the workforce was bloated and Elon knew that. Will there be some restructuring? Absolutely! That happens with any change of power/ownership. Changes that disrupt the dictatorial climate are likened/linked to Republicans/MAGA/Trump/LibsofTiKTok/etc. involvement just like every instance of somebody not getting their way is likened/linked to racism/homophobia/xenophobia/some other phobia/etc. It's just ridiculous reasoning.

No, I made money. Bought at about $100, sold at the low $300s, just before the stock skyrocketed. Oh well.

It’s cause he isn’t.
Look at the low level of this poster and the stuff he reads…
“ Being autistic, Musk also thinks quite differently from others”
What’s that got to do with anything?

“Losing money” because you own stocks is ridiculous. Lol anyway enough said, too low of a level to debate…

Tripled your money. Good job. You won man. So you didn't 10x it. Who cares? "Woulda coulda shoulda" makes a lot of heartache unnecessarily.
