I brought it up to argue the notion that the Twitter employees will be easily re-hired elsewhere because of a shortage of tech workers. Most of them aren’t tech workers. But I think Musk’s idea was to expand the tech and minimize the curation and moderation and management. I make no claims as to whether this is feasible.
Musk’s biggest problem is that he likely has a hostile workforce, and that his trollish tendencies are very destructive when you own the company. ‘Punching down’ is not a good look. He says impersonations are fine, so people impersonate him. So he bans impersonation, and hundreds of blue-checks join in the fun, putting him in a quandary. This kind of stuff will continue to happen.
Musk says he wants Twitter to ge the most accurate source of information around. I don’t see that ever happening. Twitter is more of an information battle ground, populated by numerous bad actors, trolls, state disinformation, idiots, etc. If he thinks he can turn that into an objective information space, well… good luck to him.
