Here's what Elon Musk fails to understand:
Much of a corporations' value lies in their workers — their knowledge, skills, and ideas. When he fired half of Twitter’s workforce and drove off even more, he wasn't “cutting costs.” He was actively destroying what he bought. — Robert Reich (@RBReich) November 24, 2022

So, is there any doubt that the political left wants Elon Musk to fail with Twitter? Of course, not. Why don't we look at more empirical evidence about Twitter and Musk's actions thus far. Here are three items: 1. Twitter user changes:The rollback of Twitter’s covid misinformation policy is just the latest pivot since Elon Musk took control of the company a month ago. Doctors and public health officials say Musk’s decision is a “huge step backwards” and will lead to more deaths. https://t.co/Wlqmq1BASm

Of course, this is from Elon Musk himself, so not an unbiased source. But, given the choice, Musk seems more credible. 2. The Washington Post reports on follower data:Twitter core services latency reduced by ~400ms. Should feel noticeably faster.
