jross Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) The mission statement, the challenge, and working with motivated A players. —— As per Musk: “So the goal is to have Twitter be the best source of truth, the most timely and accurate source of truth, even if the truth is something we don't want to hear or unpleasant or whatever, but have it be timely and accurate and where you can really understand what's going on.”Mar 7, 2023 —— Twitter's mission is to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly without barriers.

headshuck Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I think it’s more along the lines of "unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and other intellectual property."Both dudes are already prepping for a cage match.

Capitalism at it's finest where the workers are screwed by the big corporations. I think there was even a trial here in the wrestling world when someone left a company and couldn't do anything related to wrestling per their former company.

WrestlingRasta Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I’m not going to pretend to know the inner workings of their business, let alone act like I was in the offices everyday and know what their staff did or did not bring in value to the company. But I will pretend to know that the company is now worth 1/3 of its valuation at the time he made all of these ingenious moves. So I know I’d have his back ALL DAY LONG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
