As a software engineer would you want to work for Musk at Twitter?

Not now.  I am trying to increase the family balance over the work priority, saying no to requests more often, and I think more about coaching than work. 

Not so long ago, yes.

What would have been the attraction back when the answer would have been yes?

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.

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. By not switch the venue to a courthouse?

The ole, "I'll fire you, but don't use anything you learned here to better yourself" tactic. 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.

Employees willingly sign employment agreements that allow them to use what they learn to further their careers elsewhere. They also agree not to take and share trade secrets.

That's called capitalism for me, but not you. Non competes are socialism.

Given Musk's history of not honoring his agreements, sounds like they are just doing their best Musk imitation.

Very interesting.  He says:

"I would like to apologize for firing these geniuses.  Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere."

Now, their use is to another billionaire and that use is his demise.

they weren't needed. they were superfluous and twitter hemorrhaged money. 

whether or not a competing product leads to 'his demise' their employment there was unnecessary. 

when amazon (ie - any large company) lays off people, would you say the same thing?

Layoffs are necessary at times.  Doesn't apply here as he fired these folks.

you can't be fucking serious. 

there's zero difference.

the result is the same. he didn't fire them b/c of ability. he fired them b/c they weren't needed.

your position makes no sense. there was no 'karma' here

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
