> getting rid of 80% of twitter showing every CEO that at least half the staff is sleeping

The company also dropped 80% in value [1]. I don’t think Musk his value destruction at Twitter is that inspirational.

Pretty sure SA (arabia) and many other oppressive regimes consider it a steal [wink]

Value is what others are willing to pay. Ever since twitter is not publicly traded, it is not for sale. Any "estimations" by third parties are to be taken with more than a grain of salt.

Musk destroyed 80% of Twitter's value, but the ROI was great for his personal brand (like it or not).

And that's what buying it was really about.

I agree to some extent, but that’s a completely different point than I made.

The point I made is that firing 80% of the workforce was not showing other CEOs that that is such a value generating move (as the person above me implied).
