I just hope Elon fires half of the existing employees of Twatter. Or more.
i think you'll see a peleton-style layoff: trim in back office (probably more focus on an offshore model), marketing/brand creation, and diversity/inclusion. there may be some on the dev side but id doubt that, plus, going on what i know about s/w engineers they either love elon or just want to shut the fuck up and write code. if they cut back on R&D then maybe they cut some engineers, they'll probably cut back some 'top secret projects' which teams will outright get cut or reassigned. dont have to worry about equity options anymore either and probably more cost effective to not be a publicly traded company/having to file with the SEC.
theres ways to make money there, cut a lot (not everything) back, increase engagement (bring back trump), charge for blue checks based on number of followers, etc.
