This is my last message to your Hope you dreams come true don’t give up he might just fuck you

? All these tech companies has laid off people because of over hire or axed projects before Elon musk even bought Twitter

This is like saying I took a shit after a large meal but because Elon had diarrhea yesterday he’s starting a trend on expelling feces and I’m following his trend lol

im not gonna agree on something that is wrong

/1.you have 0 understanding of a techs life cycle and how a tech company functions
google can still be "functional" if they got rid of 90% of their workforce and why dont they do that why dont they even shave 50% of their current workforce do you think they are stupid and enjoy wasting money?

heck all the websites and software that is on the market today would still be "functional" if they got rid of all the developers and why dont they do that Arber? do some research or hey ask a friend that works as a dev what they do in a company that already has a product built

2. Tech companies have been known to go thru cycle of hiring and shaving because of overhired and axing projects the only difference this time is they hired way more than they ever did so naturally the amount of people that got laid off would be a bigger number too (MSFT case they still have more employees after the layoffs than any other year) another reason is huge tech projects are not hitting expectation like amazons alexa and MSFT's AR/VR

Did elon walk up early today and set a trend on waking up after sleeping? lmao

3. Now on your idol he is getting rid of large amount of people and selling shit left and right is because he can't afford them sure there some bloat all company has some bloat but thats not the main reason his twitter deal is losing him a shit ton of money and twitter debt needs to be paid

he's dodging rent payments

Selling his tesla shares to cover Twitter

Fundraising to pay debt

dragging his Tesla employees to Twitter to help out

and more

there's a lot more to Twitter than just the website he paralyzed a shit ton of teams to save money he will rehire when he gets out of this debt and Twitter starts to turn around as much as I dont like the guy he's not stupid enough to run Twitter barebones long term or he would have done that to tesla/spaceX

>This does not disprove that musk started the trend of getting rid of redundant tech workers. In fact it only proves my point further.

>Clearly the tech sector over hired and then had to make a correction.

The amount of mental gymnastics your doing is incredible you almost had it

look at the amount these companies hired during Covid -2022 compared to any other year previously then look at what division these companies are axing

Will help a lot with getting that foot out of your mouth
