I wonder if the whole Maxwell client list discussion from Elon is a way for him to get Bill Gates to consider shutting the hell up? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Methinks, quite a few Twitter employees are going to get fired for being useless! I think one of the main reasons so many pro-censorship advocates are frightened about the Twitter takeover is because it'll reveal the depth of active censorship & narrative engineering going on at Twitter; also, many leftys are going to be revealed as having tremendous amounts of fake followers. Might even show covert government collaboration and/or directed actions from govt, which we know as being Fascism.

That's not a valid conclusion to draw from that data. It could as well simply be interest in how Musk's acquisition of Twitter affects their staffing, as reflected by job postings.

Elon Musk Puts Twitter Employees on Alert By Jack Phillips May 8, 2022 Updated: May 8, 2022 biggersmaller Print 0:002:54 More than a week after it was announced Elon Musk would purchase Twitter, the world’s richest person issued a notice to Twitter employees about what they can expect. Among several other expectations, Musk said that he values a positive work ethic. He was responding to his previous Twitter post about the direction he wants to see Twitter take after he assumes ownership of it. “Work ethic expectations would be extreme, but much less than I demand of myself,” Musk said on Twitter over the weekend. On April 25, the Tesla CEO and Twitter announced that the firm accepted Musk’s $44 billion offer. Meanwhile, it was reported that Musk would serve as the firm’s temporary CEO once the deal is completed, although Musk hasn’t issued a public comment on that claim. A filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 5 signaled Musk raised $7.14 billion toward funding the purchase of Twitter. In his previous post, the multi-billionaire touted Twitter under his leadership would be “super focused on hardcore software engineering, design, infosec [and] server hardware.” “I strongly believe that all managers in a technical area must be technically excellent,” Musk also wrote. “Managers in software must write great software or it’s like being a cavalry captain who can’t ride a horse!” When the deal was announced, Musk suggested that he would place an emphasis on free speech after the takeover, which could take weeks or months to complete. Previously, Musk has criticized Twitter’s content moderation policies. “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a statement. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential—I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.” On May 6, Twitter and Musk were sued by a Florida pension fund seeking to prevent Musk from quickly carrying out the takeover of the company. In a complaint filed in Delaware, the Orlando Police Pension Fund wrote that Musk can’t complete the takeover until at least 2025 unless two-thirds of shares that are not owned by him are approved. The lawsuit said Musk became an “interested stockholder” after taking a more than 9 percent Twitter stake, requiring the delay. Twitter and its board, including Chief Executive Parag Agrawal, are also defendants. LINK 'veritas non verba magistri' | |||

Musk plans to fire about a thousand of Twitter's 7500 employees (all the "woke" assholes, I presume) but then, plans to swell the number to about 11,000 employees, with an eye towards savvy tech people. All the purple hair, nose ring crowd better get their resumes together. They have perhaps six months left at Twitter. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

If and when the purchase of Twitter is finalized, Musk says he will reverse Trump's ban.

It’s been my experience that managers that lead by example inspire good work ethics in their employees; it also makes it easier to winnow out the slacker chaff. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

What's with all the negative waves, Moriarty? Pretty sure this isn't Musk's first rodeo. I suspect he knows what he is doing and has planned out moves, countermoves, and counter-countermoves before he even started the process of buying Twitter. Twitter wouldn't be firing/letting go execs, easing up on their censoring and restoring banned accounts if they thought the deal wasn't basically a slam dunk. These administrative state moves and "investigations" are last gasps of desperate flailing and red meat for their base in my opinion. ---------------------------------- "These things you say we will have, we already have."

Not only is Musk smart, he also had to borrow beaucoup bucks from other people for the move. I'm sure those people did due diligence before shelling out hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

Musk very recently tweeted: "Still committed to acquisition" He's going to get Twitter. He's just not going to allow them to report invalid information, inflating value.
