Yes, I would say that because he's not going to turn Twitter profitable by running off advertisers, alienating users and rolling back policies designed to keep the company free of legal and PR issues, which is pretty much all he's done to date.
Frankly, it's very debatable whether Twitter can be profitable, but Musk seems determined to dig a deeper hole.

Among other things, that there were (mostly) valid reasons old Twitter functioned the way it did.

That’s the Fed goal to slow down the inflation. They want people to stop yoloing.

It wasn’t near profitable that’s completely laughable

The real plan is to force actual notable accounts to get gold checkmarks imo

If a company pays you to show up to work, then either show up or don't work there. Again, if you feel like the work arrangement is abusive, then you're free to not work there.

With so many companies cutting jobs and Fed rates continuing to rise, I don't see how the economy will not slow down or even contract. Then we'll be even more screwed because overall prices on daily goods and services the average household needs will remain high for the most part and taxes (especially property taxes) aren't going down anytime.

I don't need to start my own company to demand that I get paid for my time. That applies to every job, ever. I also don't need to start my own company to negotiate the terms of my labor and working conditions. This is especially true for exempt salaried positions for high skilled professionals. They are the subject matter experts, not the executives. If you don't believe it then let's switch to hourly pay with time and a half overtime. Then we'll talk.

Imagine you had to choose a subreddit to be your whole reddit, while viewing it with twitter's interface.
Well, it's worse than that. But glad some people can bear it. Alternatives will be the end of twitter.

Some engineers are more productive, some aren't. It's pretty silly to pretend like they all respond the same way to WFH.

If actually showing up to work is too abusive for you, then just start your own tech company and make your own rules.

ya'll love to shit on companies demanding workers return to office without realizing that the alternative is hiring remote developers from eastern europe that will write incredible code for like $20k/year. Be careful what you wish for...

I know, I’m verified and I didn’t pay a cent. But guess what, Musk’s little twitter army is full of idiots.

It was much closer than it is now, or likely will be for the foreseeable future.
