Thank you to @elonmusk and @SBF_FTX for comprehensively demolishing the myth of billionaire competence.

Hemingway put the restaurant in Spain.

Now Musk says the top priority for the company this weekend is ensuring Twitter does an awesome job to support the World Cup, according to an all staff email.

This event has required a ton of work over the years from engineers and has prompted widespread outages.

Apparently the payroll department is no more, so who knows if anyone will get paid whether they're working there or not 🤷‍♂️https://t.co/l6nB9FhrsL

That's one way to save money.

New email from Elon Musk to engineers: “please be prepared to do brief code reviews as I’m walking around the office.”

That’s it — that’s the whole email.

Now this is even funnier:

i’m in a code review with elon musk. ive got the CSS for https://t.co/iXbfr5d1Jg on 3 monitors. my browser’s in dark mode so it looks cool. “this part?” he asks, pointing to code for the Giant Omelette. “caches tweets in the mainframe cyberhex,” i say. he nods. “as i suspected”

Some internal estimates showed that at least 1,200 full-time employees resigned from Twitter on Thursday. Some core teams are down to zero people. Elon Musk is also considering shuttering one of the company’s three main U.S. data centers. https://t.co/iwsmideDjE pic.twitter.com/SW8lN4RTT8

Meanwhile a Twitter employee in Europe:

"Elon's email is as legally binding as me sending him an email saying 'FYI I'll work 3hrs per day from now on, k thx.'

So I just keep working as before, as per my contract, until I get some official notice of what really is happening."

Never underestimate Elmo.

Hoping Elon Musk will rehabilitate the NRA next 🙏 #RIPTwitter
