It reads like ChatGPT with the bullet point styling removed. At least, the half of the thing Medium would let me read without signing in did. No Medium, I’m not creating an account or paying you to read AI copypasta garbage
Elon Musk has fired a significant number of employees across different instances. Specifically, Musk has fired over 6,000 people at Twitter since taking over the company, reducing the staff to around 1,500 employees. Additionally, Musk sacked around 3,700 Twitter employees in the first week of November after acquiring the company, and further layoffs followed, resulting in a substantial reduction in the workforce. Overall, considering these instances and others not explicitly mentioned in the provided sources, Elon Musk has fired thousands of employees across various companies and contexts.
This opening paragraph is absolutely written either by an AI, or someone with a 6th grade understanding of writing. It’s painful to read.
Does anyone honestly believe that if we didn’t have billionaires, there would be no work to do? As far as I can it’s just a thing politicians imply to people who aren’t actually thinking that hard about it, in order to garner support from big (and medium-large) donors.
@catculation I guess that he was totally happy, when nearly 9,000 workers (out of 12,500) at his factory in Germany voted for a new works council. I'm convinced that he didn't knew about German labour rights - now he does 😀
I was suprised to see a headline of 6k people fired over 4 years being called significant and then realised the only reason this article exists is because it’s Twitter staff being fired and this journalist is obsessed with Twitter and thinks every person there is a special soul who should be indefinitely employed.
Elon specifically said he was going to reduce the size of Twitter. Firing 6k people is not a surprise nor is it negative news. The “job creator” in quotes probably refers to the 200k+ people employed across his 5 companies.
The focus should be on firing employees for trying to unionized because that’s the only egregious part.
I’d really love to know if “job creators” are actually job creators, or if many small businesses actually create more jobs than one large one. Are “job creators” actually job destroyers?
That’s what I was thinking. A multitude of small businesses are less efficient, so need more people to do the same amount of work as a single large company. And I would imagine that the competition created by many small companies all chasing after the same pool of employees would have a lesser ability to suppress wages: if one business won’t pay their employees well, those employees will just go and work for someone else instead.
