Musk is also looking to cut Twitter infrastructure costs by $1B a year.
I've worked at places where the solution is to throw more hardware at it rather than being more efficient so it's possible there are some gains to be had there. Or it could just mean it can't scale up during busy times and it crashes during elections (which maybe is a good thing) .

EDIT: Looks like the tweet author just got bullied off Twitter. Here's the original tweet:
Guess it's time to start moving to Mastodon
Which is why unless their is secondary corroboration that it is a story from a disgruntled ex employee versus the actual way they laid people off. A corporation should have ranked lists of employees sitting somewhere at all times for precisely this type of situation.

There are significantly better metrics to qualify your coding staff than "total lines per year"

It probably didn't happen exactly like that, but this also didn't come out of nowhere. There have been stories in recent days of Musk asking Twitter engineers to print out (seriously) dozens of pages of their latest code for review. I had assumed it was either a joke or an exaggeration, but apparently it was legit:

What better way to reduce server load and thus infrastructure costs than reducing users.

What a circus this is. I can't believe he spent $44B for this. That is just so wild.
I bet he tips low at the restaurant too. Unbelievable. Imagine what you could do with $44B and he has just inserted himself into years of headaches and totally destroyed what was left of his reputation.
Either way, as an outside observer, it'll be fascinating to see how this ends. I'm leaning towards thinking Musk will eventually run Twitter into the ground, and something else will start up to take it's place, but who knows.
