    So basically Musk and his leaders have not communicated anything to the remaining Twitter employees after the layoff. Most do not have any assigned tasks or direction. Many don't even know who their manager is.

    Twitter staffer says Elon Musk and his close advisers failed to inform employees of the plan of action after layoffs, report says

    LOL -- Musk is mad that verified users mocked him by changing their names to Elon Musk as parody to demonstrate how meaningless the verified checkmark is and why no one would pay for it. The funny part is that this change left a bunch of verified users stuck with the name "Elon Musk" on their accounts -- I guess they can continue to mock him perpetually.

    Verified Twitter accounts have lost the ability to change display name or profile picture and it’s anyone’s guess why

    Twitter grew to be huge for political reporting. The fact that there is carryover into this cycle of use of Twitter isn’t surprising. The question is can Musk maintain this brand.

    Elon Musk robs Tesla to pay Twitter as his net worth erodes.

    Elon Musk Sheds Billions of Tesla Shares as Net Worth Drops

    Two weeks after his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, Elon Musk has sold almost $4 billion worth of Tesla shares, seeing his net worth drop below $200 billion on Tuesday.

    Financial records from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission show the Tesla boss sold 19.5 million shares worth $3.95 billion between Nov. 4, Nov. 7 and Nov. 8. The latest sale means Musk has sold a total value of Tesla shares equaling almost $20 billion since he announced his plans to buy Twitter; he sold $8.5 billion in April and close to $7 billion in August.

    Tesla’s share price has dropped more than 50 percent since the beginning of this year. In August it plummeted by 12 percent after Musk tweeted: “Tesla stock price is too high imo.” Despite his net worth dropping below $200 billion on Tuesday, Musk still stands at the top of the world’s richest people with a net worth of $197.4 billion, according to Forbes. Most of that worth still sits with what’s left of his stake in Tesla.

    Read it at U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

  9. Your lefty buddy Zuckerberg's net worth has dropped a 100 billion this year and his company is having massive layoffs.

    For some reason we do not get hourly reports from you on that. And we all know what that reason is.

    Well first - Zuck ain't my buddy. Second his Metaverse vision is a fiasco. Third - we covered Zuck earlier when you basically compared him to Musk as a disaster then crab-walked away from your statement apparently.

    Musk laid off 50% of his workforce. Zuck is laying off a mere 13% of his workforce. While the raw numbers may be larger -- Meta has a much larger workforce than Twitter. A 13% layoff qualifies as a good-sized trimming in the tech sector, and is something that happens at many companies in down cycles. A 50% layoff is a corporation altering event. Sadly the remaining employees at Twitter are being given no direction by Musk and his management team. The chaotic situation at Twitter is very different than Meta where Zuck has explained everything internally and a clear process is in place for the workforce reductions and the remaining employees know what their assignments are.

    Numerous companies are laying off in the Tech Sector including GoFundMe, etc. Most are cutting 10 to 15%.
