(32,098 posts)Lay off 3/4 of your staff? Good luck with that, idiot. I give Twitter year, two tops, before it starts circling the drain. Musk is just like Trump. He slaps his name on other people's work, and then trashes it when he gets his grubby fingers on it, because he's not as smart as he thinks he is. He did it to Tesla. He'll do it to Twitter, as well.

(4,400 posts)with social media titles likely paid the standard stagnant wage will need the bother to seek another gig if they want to pay their rent because they'll be redundant, no? I just like to fantasize both the gap or truthiness on their resumes...

(9,975 posts)... I believe he will be a Twit, again. I don't read much there - unlike other social media places, Twitter seems all-political, to me. Also, there is stuff there that would be taken off FB, YouTube, etc... probably, The Donald would be able to post his lies w/o Twitter robots removing any... or you can click un-hide and read them. Musk seems like he will want the loser... and so many big figures have accounts and so many followers... they won't leave... they need those Mega-Thousands of Twitter followers to buy their books, watch their shows, and keep their Big Names in the news.

(13,514 posts)regulatory issues that need to be resolved? Is this really closing in a week?
I know people like the twitter feed "Duty to warn," but none of the articles talking about Musk's proposed firing of UP TO 75% of the twitter workforce say that Trump WILL BE reinstated next week. That's their speculation based upon their increased warnings about his narcissistic behaviors.
While it MAY very well be true, and nothing would surprise me with Musk and Trump (I think both are horrible), I don't think that it's IMMINENT that Trump would come back to Twitter next week.
Maybe he'll prove me wrong with an "I'M BACK BITCHES!" first tweet. But to accept the terms to come back looks desperate for attention and acknowledging the social media platform he attached his name to is useless.

My Twitter will go dormant is Musk actually closes the deal. I have my doubts.

(94,804 posts)Musk is $9 Billion short in funding the purchase last time I checked. This seemed to be an effort to push off a scheduled deposition that Twitter wanted to hold for their lawsuit. If there were real negotiations underway, I think we'd be hearing about it.
