Entire tweet...

Update: company sources tell me that yesterday Twitter eliminated ~4,400 of its ~5,500 contract employees, with cuts expected to have significant impact to content moderation and the core infrastructure services that keep the site up and running.

People inside are stunned.

    What is he even trying to do?

    Like what... Why would he think that eliminating thousands and thousands of staff would be a good idea?

    What is going on in his brain?

      Mostly pumping cryptogrifts and spewing laugh-cry emojis, judging by his tweets.

      Needs to squeeze out extra profit to pay off the interest on the loan. If he defaults on that, he could lose all of Twitter to some of the most repugnant banks in existence (which is a lateral move)
