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.
This feels like a bean counter strategy, "cutting costs" by stripping staff down to the essentials, keeping revenues on life support as the thing slowly dies.
At the same time, Musk is a dum-dum, not a bean counter, so at minimum it's clear that he has no idea how to keep revenues up nor what the staff were even doing, so which ones could even be dropped without killing the core product never entered the equation
Fuckin lol
