The recent tech layoffs are apt example of 'Behti ganga me haath dhona'.

Mfkrs employ people to exploit as a startup and get amazing products built and then fire after their purpose is served 😡🤬

Yo man... 
  
 That's why love urself not job or company

Where will people go when no one is hiring and everyone is firing? 
 Don't love your job and company just live your money.

Jack following Musk Footsteps

Jack following Musk Footsteps- Grapevine

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Can anyone explain what is happening and why it is such a big deal?

Some context - 
 Disney and apple are known to be pro left wing. These include ideologies around equality, feminism, LGBTQ rights etc which you can see in some of their shows/movies. 
  
 Elon Musk has centre - right ideologies. 
  
 Disney recently removed ads from X (Twitter) because Elons ideologies do not match theirs (an anti semantic tweet by Elon is the reason they gave for removing their ads) 
  
 Elon called them out in an interview that these companies try to "look good" in public but are actually "evil". These can be seen in some of their movies or cast where they say they promote feminism but are borderline Misandry. 
  
 Elons of the opinion that these companies use their Money and influence to force their ideologies onto people. 
  
 He said that the people can see what's happening will decide which side they are on. 
 Some of these people have cancelled their Disney plus subscription because they agree with Elon

Product Manager

Quite confused why the rebranding is taking place. 
Twitter is such a good brand name, everybody gets it, and has positive blue colours too. 

X seems to be something very random. Almost instantly it does not reflect what the product would be. 

It’s great to see that Elon Musk takes audacious bets all the time, but it’s starting to feel like he’s someone who lacks any sense of how user’s think. This could be costly for Twitter as multiple of these changes compound.

Twitter rebranding to 'X', what do you think?

Corporate Strategist

Twitter, now rebranded X, has been ordered to pay compensation to a former employee in an unfair dismissal case. The social media platform has been asked to pay 550,000 euros ( ₹5 crore approximately) to Gary Rooney, who was fired in December 2022 after hashtag Elon Musk’s takeover of the company.

I love following this handle on Twitter. found this interesting article.

Such a deep ML system could well be developed outside of Google-- at Microsoft, Baidu, Yandex, Amazon, Apple, or even a startup.

Fierce war b/w Elon and an ex employee

- Twitter Blue, a subscription service allowing users to buy verified badges, was launched under Elon Musk's ownership but faced immediate backlash. - Employees warned Musk about the dangers of the service, fearing it could lead to misinformation and harassment. - Despite initial enthusiasm, the service was shut down a day after its launch due to widespread criticism and confusion. - The chaotic rollout and subsequent issues have damaged Musk's reputation and Twitter's credibility. - The book 'Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter' provides an in-depth look at the tumultuous period.

Elon Musk's Twitter Blue Fiasco

Journalist

- Nearly two years after Elon Musk's acquisition, X's business is still struggling to recover from the financial strain it fell into under his ownership.
- The $13 billion loan Musk used to buy Twitter has become the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008-09 financial crisis, with banks unable to offload the debt without major losses.
- The loans have remained 'hung' on banks' balance sheets, leading to significant write-downs and impacting bank profits and compensation for merger departments.
- Despite hefty interest payments from the X loans, the banks face regulatory scrutiny and have scaled back on providing capital for other merger-finance deals.
- The banks are caught in a dilemma: they want to maintain good relations with Musk for future business opportunities but are struggling with the financial fallout from the Twitter deal.

His drivers identify themselves as can't/won't. Maybe he should work on curing that illness first.

Sam Altman fired from OpenAi

Just woke up and read this! Sad indeed, guy challenged dominance of Bigtech and made google look like IBM 🥲

Will this fly with the audience or will it change X (Twitter) into another hyper competitive platform just like LinkedIn?

Thoughts on this product from X?

This is so weird at some many levels. Software Engineer is an absolute joke in 2023.

- CAH's complaint includes photos showing the land's transformation from a natural state to a construction site.
- SpaceX allegedly treated the land as its own for six months, leading to unsafe conditions.
- CAH vows to fight in court, promising donors a share of any winnings, though they acknowledge the odds are against them.
