Youâd have to sell them both straight away as, having blown 30 million, you could no longer afford to keep them.

IIRC, the premise was that he had to blow the money and get nothing in return. So buying a yacht donât cut it.

Still doge for me when I looked
That burying his suit is the best explanation Iâve seen so far, the other one being it was an April Foolâs but they donât have automated deployments any more, so they did it on Monday.

I had continued visiting the bird site to check in on some artists and indie game makers, but seeing doge smirking everytime I clicked in was finally the last straw.
Iâll keep my account for however long it takes me to save a list of alternate sources for creators I care about, but Iâm finally getting out. I feel weird that this is what got me to leave, but here we are.

Itâs a bit of a frankenarticle due to the update. (It didnât apply to all Twitter, just Spaces.)

I think burning bits of paper with numbers on them was also against the rules.

It sounds like a useful indication of when to investigate deeper to see what the problem is, if any, but I think youâd have to be a nincompoop to use such a simplistic stat to directly drive your management.
Statistics-driven systems gradually warp everything around making that stat go up each period, without concern if thatâs actually a good thing.

Twitter just needs a cup where people drop change from time to time and then to fire everyone. The only problem then is itâs hard to make revenue per employee go even higher next quarter.

I was wondering if they did a simplistic profit/cost-center analysis of assigning revenue and cost to each department and immediately firing ones with a low or negative score, without concern if they do an essential business function. Janitors and cleaning staff donât generate revenue, so⊠gone! Security⊠gone! Moderation⊠gone!
Except that they also fired most of the people selling advertising space, and thatâs most of the revenue.
I think Musk just took out a Sharpie and made galaxy-brain-level decisions.
