The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

Noting the comment a few posts down from the linked twitter post that apparently last nights wobbler on twitter was because they changed something without knowing what it did, because apparently having specialist teams who only dealt with one part of a hugely complex set of interlocking systems is done with a reason. If it's true, the team that dealt with that sort of thing normally and knew what it did were let go, so one of musk's remaining guys made a change and it affected a bunch of other things.
Who knew that firing entire teams at random could have negative concequencies and that employees are not in fact completely interchangeable, especially when dealing with highly complex things.

Lets start today with a snapshot into why powerful narcissists are surrounded by yes men.

Real shame if he's losing sleep thinking that people don't give a rats ass about him when he's not doing a clown impression.

If true he is becoming more Trump-ish as the days go by. Imagine sacking someone because people aren't paying you enough attention

You would have thought the he might have taken in what people do to him in public and thought about it but no.

...although arguably the thread is titled '...Elon Twitter saga' and not 'The adventures of Musk being a bit of a ***' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Even if it was, i think it's a bit of a stretch to discuss the supposed chemical weapons in Ukraine
Bringing it back on topic and before the mods stick me on the naughty step, it seems Twitter may not being deleting some data -

I didn't realize starlink was twitter?
What's happening here is that users who are banned from one topic are trying to hijack another because they couldn't behave themselves.
If you have issue with that, pop over to FCD.
I actually read the title as "The ongoing Elon Twitter saga" but my brain swapped the word Twitter for Musk and/or I had decided Elon was now called "Elon Twitter". A bit like "Steve Apple" when Trump referred to Steve Jobs

I do it all the time!
To be clear what was deleted here can be discussed, just in the correct thread for it
It turns out there are indeed reasons for "bloated" tech companies having "unnecessary" staff who aren't just "hard core programmers"

From some of the reports that have come out of Twitter there are probably entire parts of the business where there is no one left who actually knows what is going on and monitors it before it becomes an issue, or know why you don't do that...
*I'm reminded of all the stories of clueless managers getting rid of large numbers of IT staff because they "never seem to be busy", only to find out that the reason they were not running around fixing things that had broken was because they had spotted issues and fixed them before they spread, or applied that patch before the hackers get in and encrypt all your data.

That's a rather dodgy thing to start doing isn't it?
Although at this stage I don't know whether him endorsing something would be good for the advert/brand or not!
