7500 people's worth of energy levels :laugh:

And that's without overseeing Tesla or SpaceX or spending time with any of the 42 children he had incubated.
You don't understand the conversation. @PsyWulf was commenting on the picture of the singular guy sanitising the offices.

But since you're insisting on your strawman, twitter past was completely overstaffed, and even after purging half of them, Musk realised that the balance that he was left with were a motely crew of low energy-level wokists who insisted on free caffeteria meals, and left-winged saboteurs. With this move he has achieved something that Andre de Ruyter can only dream about.

On his 42 children, I do believe that he has bitten off far more than he can chew, but he will only learn to regret it in 10-15 years time (once they become teenagers). I do not envy that aspect of his life at all.

It also seems that Musk's reckless purchase price has helped put the company under significantly increased financial pressure.

Since this is a tech forum. How many people can you possibly need to operate twitter? I reckon 20 or so developers, maybe a 100 or so infrastructure/server guys and then a handful of admin staff to handle the other stuff.
For what they do their server configuration and software deployment should be automated.

I didn't realise you were so concerned with how Musk spends his time.

You're thinking of his children more than he does, no doubt!

That's why I created an account last week.. to see how this plays out...
Also they made it a bit difficult to keep tabs on Poeskom, so with the scraper I am working on, not having a Twatter account is a bit limiting.
Now find some like-minded memesters and enjoy.

Definitely panic stations at Twitter, and mostly because there is united cause and action. Been amazing to see those Twitter users popping up on Mastodon, and once they've tried something different, realising there are actually better options out there. But a big wake up is coming for advertisers used to buying a space in someone's feed. Times are changing.
It's called Mastodon because its a place for many a furry to masturbate to pix of cartoony animals.

I guess Twitter is run by AI now, either that, or Musk locked its moderators in.

The answers there truly apall me. At first I honestly though that the answers were just folk joking around... than I found out that they were serious. Putin needs to target a few office blocks and data centres with those hypersonics...


It gets even worse.
Once saw a thread there from someone asking how bad its going to be when he goes for the jacks he's been sentenced to, and a "girl" coming in there saying she wishes she could experience jacks like that

Jesus was a lot more than just a "great man".
That's is debatable. Many will say he was a profit, and many will come and say he was God's son, and many will come say he was God himself part of the trinity and many will say he was none of those

Mastadon sounds like a right wing porn site

Can't he get in legal trouble suggesting staff should work 80 hours a week?

A employee contract is a agreement between employees and employers not a "they ask you anything or fire you agreement."
