> as a direct result of the current very public mismanagement of Twitter and resulting public freakout.
I have to admit I don't fully get this. What part of Twitter is mismanaged?
If management thinks that 7000+ aren't needed to make single page web-app, is reducing the work-force mismanagement? I'd consider it a healthy step towards creating an actually profitable company. I mean, who benefits from the company going bankrupt? Certainly not the employees.
Is allowing more people get to exercise freedom of speech mismanagement? Or that the new management polls the actual twitter user-base instead of listening to a select few people, seemingly only on one side of the political spectrum?
Also, since the new ownership came in place, supposedly 90%+ of sexual-abuse material and tags has been cleaned out and banned, something which was allowed to go on for years during old twitter management. That's a good change, right?
Is all this just about some people you don't like being un-banned? If so, you can still individually ignore them or block them, and just move on with your life, right?
I really, honestly don't get what all this hysteria is about.
Musk founded SpaceX and bought Tesla when it had like 6 employees, so everyone working in those two companies is used to his management style.
Twitter was a huge and sort-of stagnant company, they must feel as if they were hit by a hurricane, and this filters out to all sorts of media including HN.
Also, Twitter is all about publicity. We don't see what's happening within SpaceX, but we all watch whatever happens within Twitter in real time.
