After clearing out the C-suite, laying off half the company, and prompting high-profile resignations, Elon Musk is canning anyone who defies him on Twitter.
This cull is further diminishing Twitter’s already threadbare teams, says the employee who spoke with. “There’s critical infrastructure teams that are down from like mid-teen numbers of people to two or three,” he says. “And their oncall rotations went from like one week every four months to, like, every other week.”
The brain drain, he believes, will only become more apparent. “There’s a lot of stuff no one understands or knows already,” he says. “And it’s only been a few weeks.” He himself held a unique position that is now vacant, leaving “no experts, people who can fix bugs, teach the class, or add features” on the critical element of the app he maintained by himself.
“It’s only a matter of time before things break in a way that the folks who are left can’t fix quickly or at all, and the fail whale comes back with a vengeance,” he adds, referring to the image of a whale that appears for users when Twitter is experiencing technical difficulties or undergoing maintenance — once a sight so common it served as a meme expressing the unreliability of the site.
Musk, however, has affected his usual nonchalance, offering a blithe, sarcastic apology for “firing these geniuses,” predicting that their “immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere.” He also posted in the replies of the notorious far-right account “Libs of TikTok,” which has been suspended from the platform five times for hateful conduct and now has a blue check thanks to Musk’s
, to suggest that Sasha Solomon has a “tragic case of adult onset Tourette’s.” Solomon locked her profile soon afterward.
