Elon Musk just endorsed the Republican Party ahead of the Midterms. The head of Twitter supports a party that does not believe a woman has the right to an abortion even in the case of rape or incest. The billionaire CEO also wants senior citizens to lose their Social Security.

A certain billionaire author recently tweeted that her royalty checks ease the pain of being universally hated for being a comic-book villain, so that's one data point to look at.

Ah that means they’ll spend 80% of their time managing their team poorly managing and the other 80% writing subpar code. It’s a recipe for bad managers who are continuously overworked / on the brink of burnout. What could go wrong.

Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz)Tue, 08 Nov 2022 06:38 GMT

Absolutely mind blowing: “any technical manager should expect to manage at least 20 individual contributors, while also spending at least half their time writing code.”

I wonder what it's like to be wealthy enough to have so much power, but to know, deep down, that absolutely nobody likes who you are and everyone is collectively making fun of you. I wonder if it feels remotely fulfilling, or just hopelessly empty

What I'm hearing from inside Twitter: Several people who were let go on Friday, then asked to come back were given less than an hour as a deadline. Software engineers who got this call I know of all said "no" and the only ones who could eventually say "yes" are on visas. Also:

Gergely Orosz (@GergelyOrosz)Mon, 07 Nov 2022 20:09 GMT

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Let me get this straight. You lay them off. Realize you made a mistake and ask them to come back. Then have the audacity to only give them AN HOUR to respond?!?! THE AUDACITY.

Yo @elonmusk while I have your attention, why should people pay $8 just for their app to get bricked when they say something you don’t like? This is what my app has looked like ever since my tweet upset you yesterday. What’s good? Doesn’t seem very free speechy to me 🤔

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC)Thu, 03 Nov 2022 14:23 GMT

Elon Musk's offer to buy Twitter was so outlandishly high that a.) Twitter's old board couldn't say no, b.) Musk himself couldn't afford it, and c.) it damned the entire company to significant debt and massive layoffs. Every part of this deal has been and continues to be stupid.
