Comments like these make me wonder if people don't understand the difference between engineering and business.

That’s what they said about Elon firing 80% of Twitter’s staff. But X is doing pretty well.

  • For some definition of pretty well which doesn't include human user numbers, revenue, profit, or ratio of humans to bots

  • Twitter was never a profitable business. You actually renforce his point.

    (Maybe that was intended I might have missed some irony here)

    • I'm not sure why people keep repeating this when Twitter was profitable at the point that Elon bought it.
