Haha, well that's going to be interesting for their daily worship.

Pelosi's gay lover is from Canada and was in the US illegally I guess.

He is of Italian descent...

Elon Musk has directed Twitter’s teams to find over $1 billion in annual infrastructure cost savings by cutting cloud services and extra server space, according to two sources familiar with the matter and an internal Slack message seen by Reuters.

The company is aiming to find up to $3 million per day in infrastructure savings, the Slack message said.

I really hope I don't have to read about every single thing Elon musk does with Twitter in here

[mikey]

Oh, it's definitely happening.

I just can't help but wonder if any other company has ever tried to cut costs under new management...

[dodint]

RadioShack?
Sears?
Blockbuster?

[tifosi77]

There's "don't hire anyone new, and stop ordering new office supplies" cutting costs, and there's whatever is going on at Twitter. It's actually kind of funny. Part of me sort of wishes bad things on the tech bro software engineers that have invaded the peninsula and city of SF and are generally just a collection of weirdly douchebaggy dolts, and I'm happy to watch it all burn.

I like that people think that finding $1b in infrastructure savings is something that is commonplace. Or even remotely realistic.

Saw a write up recounting this whole Elon / twitter thing.

I think we forget how this all materialized

How he liquidated a bunch of Tesla stock to buy a huge stake in twitter, that whole thing where the board tried to bring him in as some top adviser, but that derailed when he wouldn’t a background check or something. Then he just said “fine I’ll buy it” then liquidated a bunch more Tesla stock. Seemingly under the pretense that he wanted to sell Tesla stock and needed a reason. Then of course the whole “nevermind”, and the twitter owners said “no takebacks” and failing pretty hard at court.


So now, here we are, Elon doing the leveraged buyout on a company that has no physical assets or anything really to support that debt, so we just have his dumb ideas that will just lead to a new twitter that people don’t have to pay for.

[dodint]

Didn't he end up buying Twitter with other people's money? The Trump plan, fail but don't spend your own dough?

[NTP66]

Yep, a lot of it.

[tifosi77]

I think he only financed a portion of the buyout with OPM, not even close to half of it.

[Willie Kool]

And there’s also the nearly $1 billion in annual interest expense that analysts estimate the company could be saddled with due to at least $13 billion of debt likely used to finance one of the most expensive acquisitions in tech history.

13b in loans, he had already spent a couple billion buying shares, but mostly it’s other equity investors.

What are Twitter’s current annual infrastructure costs, and that percentage of that amount would be represented by $1 billion?

[count2infinity]

I don’t care.

About the only thing I care about in all of this is the unfairness that he’s not a normal person. A normal person doing this sh*t would go bankrupt and be in shambles. But rich people get to do whatever the f*ck they want.

Good luck, ahole. I hoped Twitter died before this. Now I’m hoping it goes down in flames.

[NTP66]

Blue flames.

[Tomas]

I hope no credible source would spill the beans to Vanity Fair, but if true, this would be a pretty big disappointment for me.

Desantis is such a cuck. But that's good for our country I think
