ELON MUSK VOWS TO FIRE ALL OF THE ASSHOLES AT TWITTER
‘When you realize you’re the 75 percent…:’ Twitter employees seethe following Elon Musk’s vow to fire 3/4 of the company’s workforce – after the billionaire admitted he is ‘paying too much’ in $44billion deal
- Elon Musk told prospective investors in his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter that he plans to get rid of three-quarters of its 7,500 workers
- That would leave the company with just a skeleton crew of just over 2,000 employees, which experts say is not enough to tamp down on misinformation
- Current management had already been planning to layoff a quarter of its employees after spending $1.5 billion on personnel last year
- Musk has previously said that he spent too much to buy the company
Billionaire plans to buy company and cut 5000 jobs and MAGA celebrate. Crazy times.
No more wokies sitting home in their Hello Kitty pajamas banning Conservatives true Tweets.
Good. Twitter is a leftist cesspit and needs clearing out. Far too many wokesters who think they’re God.
Going to take a lot of lysol and bleach to fumigate the offices & make sure there’s no monkeypox.
A nice ploy to get those disgruntled and nervous about his takeover to quit first so he doesn’t need to pay redundancy – takes some of his takeover costs out. Probably get 2000+ jumping ship.
“experts say is not enough to tamp down on misinformation”. – Sounds like free speech will hugely improve the profit margin.
Because he knows current management will be financially liable for any compromised assets prior to sale. Most of the employees have already been locked out of anything they could seriously damage. And I’m sure he finds the reaction pretty funny as well.
The 7500 seem to ignore their own policies on a daily basis so maybe get rid of them and get some who know what they’re doing. Misinformation from both ends of the spectrum is ridiculous.
When are Twitter employees not seething?
At least when they were all in one place, you knew to avoid it. They will be spread out now. No doubt there are talks of starting their own social media companies. Musk is right; that share price was extremely inflated. I used Twitter for one month and it was obvious there is an issue with bots and a large number of inactive/multiple accounts. Twitter is a much smaller community than people realize.
It’s official… Elon is an idiot. He won’t be the world’s richest man much longer
He’s worth over $200B…do you think he’s really worried about going broke? I’m fairly certain he’d get by just fine even if he only ends up with $1B to his name in 20 years.
Go woke, go broke. Time to cancel the cancel culture. Currently… Rather than have a platform of fairness, without bias… Twitter support is worthless. They certainly have bias. So sick of woke snowflakes.
Misinformation? Says who?
Plenty of room for improvements after the obstacles are fired.
So Elmo, the Gandalf of inc els, wants to turn it into another failing joke like Trump’s latest s ca m ‘truth’ social? Yes, but mostly he wants the stock price to fall. Elmo couldn’t care less about your rights or what you think. Like Trump, Elmo is all for Elmo
Truth social is the bomb!!!!
…said the investigators of the SEC
after they get fired, they won’t be able to afford purple or green hair dye.
Sorry not sorry you have no hair, baldy
Wait until PRESIDENT TRUMP gets reinstated. The woke mob progressive liberal democrat media will require medical attention.
100 people could run Twitter. 7000+ are needed to maintain the narrative.
Seethe lol…yes you dirtbags…seethe
Looks like Elon is helping the fed curb the inflation rate, by increasing unemployment. Good for him on trimming the fat
Elon should bring 45 in to personally tell them “you’re fired!”
LOL great idea
Trump knows all too well what it’s like to FIRED. IN A LANDSLIDE
Elon, trump and Kanye all have diarrhea of the mouth.

It makes sense. They’ve all been going to that same trough.
Pooooop. You’re obsessed with it.
As for free speech, here it is in a nutshell, red hats: The First Amendment ONLY prevents GOVERNMENT restrictions on speech. It DOES NOT prevent restrictions on speech imposed by private individuals or businesses. Facebook, Twitter and other social media can regulate or restrict speech hosted on their platforms because they are PRIVATE entities.
Not exactly. A phone company cannot restrict your speech on a phone call even though it is a private company. Zoom cannot tell you what you can say in your zoom meeting even though it is a private company. A restaurant cannot say, for instance, that people with red hair cannot eat there, even though it is privately owned. Not so simple.
Beat it, twit er
The ones sho whined the loudest about Elon will be the first to go. Tough luck.
7500 employees do exactly what? In a business where the users create all the content? You eliminate waste to make money.
Fire everybody from the Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity department first. That should get rid of a lot of dead weight.
LOL!!
I wonder if hed do great on Jeopardy or The Chase.
Just do it.
Not only should he fire those 5,500 Woke lunatics he should have a lottery where 5,500 strangers donate to charity to win the honor of being able to call up a Wokie and fire them. YOU and ME could actually experience the JOY of personally FIRING these worthless animals. Now that would set the cat amongst the pigeons. Let the PUBLIC fire them.

I love it. Its genius.
Forgone They sobbed in their iced lates, curled in a ball in the office safe space and had to go home early because of their perceived emotional trauma. Why? The new owner will make them actually have to work.
Love it. No more woke hiring. Only hire based on merits. Nothing else.
Twitter is a mistake.
Paying three times what it is worth is the mistake. Other than that, it is just a social media platform that I barely know how to use.
For a Neutral Smart Guy I’m surprised you don’t know how to use it. You type a message and hit the “Tweet” button. That’s literally it.
MAGAs claim to love America while cheering on narcissistic billionaires that want to destroy American jobs. The jokes write themselves.

Got to love it when they simplify complicated issues. God forbid we should be look at things with a critical eye, eh? Takes too much effort?
Hi MAGAs, i am sorry that being confronted with the truth triggers you so! I understand that you are no longer capable of making decisions for yourself and I have pity.
Finally! All that free money those “workers” are given without actually producing anything will help curtail inflation.
Good riddance! Don’t let the door hit your a.ss on the way out.
Twitter isn’t a monopoly. Why can’t Twitter and Facebook stay their alleged left leaning selves and keep their ‘narratives’ by banning the right….while parlor and truth keep their alleged right leaning views while stifling left leaning narratives? I don’t understand the ire. Every channel or company has their leanings.
Twitter became a working arm of the federal government silencing a particular political party. That’s the classical definition of fascism. And it’s against the US Constitution 1st Amendment.
All of the employees tweeting the fear of losing their jobs.. curious.. are you fearful because youve been quiet quitting your whole career and suddenly realize it didnt go unnoticed?
Woke mooks getting laid off? ….eff em!!!
Irony Any other company you would be walked out the door for posting such things against the company culture. Those are toxic employees
I hope he does. Twitter was fun but they sure like to push that liberal agenda, way too controlling.
The employees need to stop tweeting or without a doubt they’ll be the 75%!!!
Good cull all those b’ar’sta’rds. Many were very hardline and accepting of ba’nning accounts and deleting Twitter posts arbitrarily so give them a taste of their own medicine and get rid of them.
He will scrub the left agenda on there, maybe add another 500
Misinformation = verified facts that do not help dishonest democrat narratives.
Thailand commenting about democracy…that’s funny!!!
LOL while TSLA is tanking. I said it would drop below $600 and now we are nearly at $200. This guy —–s everyone around him. His luck has run out. This claim to buy Twitter was a dumb move. He was publically airing the deal, signed a contract and then texts show he was already developing some scheme to back out of it and then came up with the bot issue. It would have been cheaper for him to develop his own platform and try to grow it from there but greed got the best of him. Why not just buy a platform with billions of users already. They would have no choice. Well, now he has no choice. He likely signed an iron clad agreement and he knows there is no way out of it. What a moron.
Yep, sure, he’s a moron. And at least 100x smarter than you, so that makes you……? Tell us one thing you’ve ever done that’s noteworthy.
Fire all their woke asses.
It’s a good start.
As an unsophisticated deplorable I enjoy adverse speech. That’s why I didn’t go to Gab, Parler or Truth Social. The sophisticated soy snowflakes on the other hand go apoplectic hearing any opposing point of view.
Another billionaire with almost zero philanthropy under his name. Thats America
@John-Wow. Are you joking? Do you know how the G8s foundation uses their “philanthropy”? To control or cull you in a roundabout way, that’s how.
He’s created 100s of 1000s of very high paying jobs with healthcare for the employees and family. — NOW SIT DOWN!
He could buy Twitter, fire every single employee, and shut the entire company down permanently and the world would be a better place for it.
Hah and you thought he was for the people. 3/4 lose thier jobs so he can own a company for vanity
Are you trolling?
The purge of the woke and snowflakes, Lmao.
Oh no! They may not have enough employees to keep the truth from spreading. Emergency!!!
Seriously, $44 million just maybe, nowhere close to worth than in millions. Even Facebook which has much more depth as a social network isn’t worth $44 billion.
Musk is buying a white elephant.
Real jobs in the trades are really needing workers
I wish I could that.
He should fire all of them IMO
Twitter….about as valuable as NFT’s
And that idiot is paying 44 Billion for it LOL what a clown
This is called reverse psychology. Musk is trying to get Twitter to not want Musk to buy it. The 75 percent termination is likely a bluff.
When Musk closes the Twitter HQ in San Francisco, the democrats can turn that building into a nice shelter for the homeless or for the immigrants.
1.5 mill! In a year for staff? How? Just…how? No wonder there’s a fire sale throwing down on S valley. I wonder how much the combined total of all the secret service compares to that mess. If you’re paying that much for help, it would be almost impossible to keep track of who’s being productive and who’s not. Probably why he cleaned the slate. Take too long to sort em out.
Well, they said “build your own Twitter”. We decided just to buy our own Twitter.
He could probably fire 80% and get a lot more work done.
Most are useless liberals who hate this country, God, the military, the police and laws that govern society. So, there is really no loss to the company.
If I had his money I’d buy it just to ruin it and the propaganda it sustains.
Elon should just close the site. He’d be a world hero.
Ok I agree. That itself is worth $44 billion
Hes buying twitter ALONG WITH the help of Saudi and China all while suddenly backing Putin and threatening to take Star Link from Ukraine. Ummm HELLO? Like seriously HELLOOO??
False and he never backed Putin and he is still funding Ukraines Internet. Where is the appreciation??
Stop it, Twitter Tween, with your weird, hysterical conception of global politics. Let the adult be in charge.
How’s that Quiet Quitting working out for ya, kids?
These people obviously dont follow current events. I dont think Musk is worried about tamping down misinformation. He is in favor of actual free speech. The tech people who actually make the company run will be fine. As for the social warriors, I guess Starbucks will have a lot new baristas.
Who decides what’s misinformation and what’s not? Yeah, fire the fact checkers and bring back common sense to people, make them research for the truth.
They don’t need to be clamping down on what they deem to be misinformation. Nobody will miss these clowns.
Twitter should only have enough employees to keep the servers running. If you’re worried about misinformation then the entire internet should be shut down…
Wait what?
Pay them the minimum wage to compensate the deal cost..
That would be Cool if Elon pokes Bozo and Clown Shoes in the eye and renames it Parlor.
Why would the employees “seethe” if he fired 75% of them……weren’t they all quitting anyway ???
Haha *experts say is not enough to tamp down on misinformation*. Those *misinformation experts* think the wrong opinion is misinformation. The best thing Elon can do is get rid of the Orwellian brown shirts.
Twitter is the bathroom wall of the internet – people scrawl random musings with no accountability on the walls – only reason to have an account was to see who Trump was trolling and have a laugh – then they ruined that.
Good one. Yup
In the end it may be a win for free speech.
How many employees does it take to suppress the truth…well…we’re waiting
tamp down?
Those troublemaking and lazy employees at Twitter already know who they are and will have sleepless nights until they get booted.
So delicioso !
Hey Twitter employees, time to suck it up buttercups!!!
Excellent
Good move.And they can work at something else from home..
He just wants the wokes to quit now so he doesn’t have to play unemployment benefits. The woke workers aren’t so smart, so they probably will quit, the best for all.
I can’t understand why the 75% would be upset, they said they didn’t want to work for him if he purchased the company
How often do liberals speak the truth ? More like a playpen tantrum !
Time to streamline
This is sooo sad. Heh, heh
Love it.
Bit odd to cripple the company you’re buying but go for it
2 of 3 repliesSee all replies
Not crippling, but just making it a free speech platform once again.
killing off that percentage of the company has nothing to do with free speech, Sic
Extremely mediocre workers suddenly realize that they have been found out.
Bad business decision. What else did he do that was not good?
$44 billion for hot air…..
Have to make up for providing Ukraine with free Starlink internet somehow.
It’s HIS soon to be PRIVATE company. He can do with it whatever he wants including firing 75% of current Twitter employees and replacing them with some of the vastly superior software engineers already at his disposal.
I’m interested in the evidence you have for comparing software engineers. It’s my field and I’m not quite sure what your reasoning is.
none then….
Auto repo and mortgage default coming
75 % of WOKEforce gone ? No enough.
Musk should probably need some tax losses. Just in time to take a loss on Twitter! But this means Jack Dorsey was playing fast & loose with the public so that explains how he foisted Joe Biden on us!
