i agree with him.

the same adl that went after kanye west is also pressuring twitter advertisers to boycott Twitter

so the best trick is not to rely on them, find ways to get paying customers that way you stop relying on advertisers for revenue

And this is the same problem with Nigeria.
So many ministers, senators, house of reps, special advisers draining the country's resources.
Too many allowances that don't even make any sense.
Go to the ministries and government agencies to see the high level of inactivity going on.
They're simply pushing pencil, chewing gum, playing solitaire on computer.
We need the the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company to run this country. In less than five years Nigeria will have no debt.
It doesn't take rocket science to fix Nigeria. The people that don't want the country to be fixed prefer Nigeria as it is because they're profiting from the waste and corruption.
You've made solid points man, and I hope we'd get it right soon.

This is called wuruwuru to the answer.

Twitter is bla bla bla, yet was sold for 44 billion dollars.
The valuation of Twitter clearly has to do with it's potential and ergo, the value of it's shares, and to the hostile nature of the takeover, not its actual revenue.

Re: Twitter: Elon Musk Reacts To Firing Of Employees amid lawsuits by emonkey(m): 5:31pm On Nov 05, 2022
What most people who are thinking to go work in US don't know is the "at will" terms of employment which operates in most states. Basically, this means that your employer can terminate your service at any time, without notice and even without reason, unless if this is due to discrimination. You will just get to work one day and find that all your access has been turned off, that's all. If the US employees sue, they know they will just waste their money for nothing. It is the law.
Better stay in Naija. At least they will give you notice.

Re: Twitter: Elon Musk Reacts To Firing Of Employees amid lawsuits by etrange: 5:32pm On Nov 05, 2022
Soon, people will get tired of this his go-to line for everything. He wanted to buy Twitter cause they're trying to destroy free speech in the US. Then he didn't want to buy it anymore cause they're trying to destroy free speech in the US. Then he later went on to buy it cause they're trying to destroy free speech in the US. And now he's sacked his employees cause they're trying to destroy free speech in the US. The earlier y'all realise he's not an activist but just a business man who knows just what to say to get what he wants, the better for y'all.

The truth is that Twitter as a company is severely bloated. Too many employees doing too little.

Now that a businessman has bought Twitter, he wants to run it like a business.
Cut costs and increase profits.

Employees are a liability when they're not generating revenue to justify their expense.

And this is the same problem with Nigeria.
So many ministers, senators, house of reps, special advisers draining the country's resources.

Too many allowances that don't even make any sense.

You people just jump and start commenting without taking time to read and understand a post. USA is not like Nigeria that don't have any reasonable labour laws. In US you give notice before sacking or severance package, Elon musk just wants to sack them anyhow and the employees simply went to court to compel him to do the needful, they are not saying Elon musk should not sack them.

The ministries and government parastatals that are very engaging, what do govt offer them in return? Alaye leave matter for Mathias. With the way Nigeria is running it's workers renumeration, do you think workers will be dedicated? Look at ASUU after so much time at home and an agreement reached, Govt still went ahead to pay half salaries, is that a serious govt? You forgot an ebonyi lecturer that was assassinated while doing Uber because of poor pay and strikes, how can you be a govt worker and still be looking for side hustle? Like not out of interest in the hustle but to survive and feed?

Pls be considerate when criticize govt workers.

Have you said anything about the working environment of these people? They use their money to buy chairs and tables to sit on, offices has no AC, no stationeries, no imprest to run office, official vehicles are dead and not replaced,. No staff buses.

Some are work without going on leave for years, they transfer them in-between states with no DTA, they send on course and they have to pay their own money to register and never get any course allowance, I can go on and on. Lecturers use their salaries to fund research, no research fund or grants, even when they are qualified.
Majority of them are frustrated by the system.
Don't be too fast to be critical, investigate as well.
I don't know much about it, but why should people who don't work be paid anything? This is what promotes laziness and terrible work ethic. What was in their employment contract?

The problem now is that he's not going about it in the right way, that's why he's the one complaining now. He's just sacking people left and right, no regard for laws. Just behaving like power drunk dictator and messing everything up.
Celebrities are closing down their twitter accounts in drove due to many reasons: some of are complaining about hate speeches going out of hand while some are complaining about the monthly charges like twitter is not making money from adverts.
He wanted to protect free speech before he bought twitter. Now, it is business after buying it. Lol

Well.. let the people who knows business run their business how they deem fit, if the workers don't like it they can go buy their own $44 billion business. At this moment Mr Musk is the richest guy on earth, i think he knows business more than you and I could ever dream of.

Well...if they are not happy they should take their accounts else where. Mr Musk paid $44 bills. For twitter he has to recover his money some how. Are you trying to teach the world's richest man the right way to run his business? grin
