This comment from a chud at HN sums it up

This is not a company with multiple products.

The ad platform is just barely usable, with an only slightly better UI than LinkedIn.

Its core product has not changed meaningfully in 10 years.

The company down much of its developer-facing offering years ago.

There are e-commerce websites with a more complex stack than Twitter.

This is a product that can run on 1,000 people and nothing about the user experience will be different.

There is probably so much administrative, HR, and operational bloat that the company probably rivals most universities.

If Elon turns Twitter profitable just by getting rid of all the useless eaters we're going to see activist investors demanding others in the tech sector start doing the same. Please let this happen. Just imagining it is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.

even assuming they all cost nothing but California minimum wage that is 172 MILLION in salary. No fricking way this is right, i must've somehow done it wrong, I cannot believe twitter will cut out at least 172 million dollars a year and just hasn't done it yet, it could easily reach double that with benefits and the fact that most workers there likely earn a lot more than 31k a year. How the frick has twitter been a financial dumpsterfire for SO LONG and not just done this????

For their Q2 statements, they spent 450 million on R&D, 308 on Sales & Marketing, and 216 on General & Admin. So it should be nearly trivial to shave off 300-400 million of expenses. Also a cost of revenue of 540 million, which has to be a majority salaries as well.

Half a billion for R&D and @Awoo can't name one thing they've done in the last decade. At least zuck is trying too make the matrix. Trans lives matter.

Makes sense when you realize that lawyers and the government can turn on tech platforms like a bunch of vultures for not being rightthink enough. Just look at how hard they tried to buckbreak Facebook earlier in the year.

You can't really ensure HR staff are loyal unless they are directly in your pocket, and even then they're liable to go rogue on you.

Its a lot of bloat and middle managers running small teams for whatever reason instead of consolidating 1 manager to babysit like 20 people like normal

There's in-house policy writers that write policy they pass down to the outsourcing firms to hire and manage the policies, that often again outsource to smaller firms to hire the jannies, and the good jannies get promoted up to the bigger outsourcing firm and promoted within to other and better projects if they do a good job.
