Anyone really surprised by this? Musk is buddy with Peter Thiel who’s now full-time pushing MAGA agenda.

Regardless of politics, I think this is the beginning of the end for Twitter. Most people will leave the company and I wouldn’t be surprised if they start hiring people directly from Truth Social to replace them.

I think there will be a big opportunity for someone to step in and replace Twitter in the next couple of years.





The source is a data analyst at Glassdoor and the data wasn't made public. I'd like to see confirmation from various sources before believing it.


We shall see once the deal goes through and his true intents are revealed over time.


I think the opposite. Musk owning Twitter makes it a much more appealing company to work for.


I’d never work for a company promoting violence, insurrection, and stupidity. I am sure most people feel the same way.


You're right, most people would not work for a company that promotes those things, however I'd wager that most people also don't think Twitter promotes those things even with Trump as an active user.


I guess they made a deal Thiel gets to be king of Earth and Musk gets Mars. The whole surplus people talk is scary asf.
