The billionaire owner and CEO Linda Yaccarino dialed in from out of town, vaguely touting new features that will roll out in the coming months.
There is very little surprising about Elon Musk’s methods of running X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, seemingly into the ground. A year after Musk officially took over the platform, both he and recently installed X CEO Linda Yaccarino held a joint all-hands Thursday to address some of the changes at the company and suggested that X might be a new financial platform.
Neither Musk himself nor Yaccarino showed up, according to a report from Fortune Thursday. The two executives dialed in remotely from Austin and New York City, respectively, citing an anonymous source within the company. Musk and Yaccarino skipping out on an in-person appearance during the all-hands comes after the former demanded employees return to office 40 hours per week last November, according to Insider, in one of his first sweeping changes as owner.

Why would anyone want to work for such a tool bag?
No one wants to work for him. He’s just holding visa workers hostage
I wonder how many of those are still the case now? When he first took over, that was absolutely huge deal, since it’s extremely difficult to find another job as a visa worker. But it’s not impossible and Twitter employees would have very strong resumes. It’s been so long that I suspect many of those who wanted to leave could have found another company willing to sponsor by now.
There’s definitely Musk fanboys in the company. There’s no shortage of people, especially the “tech bro” type, who somehow still adore Musk.
I won’t be surprised. Do you know of any news articles that confirm this?
While we don’t have official numbers, we do have this

Early in the Twitter takeover, Twitter employees were offered a severance package to quit. H1-B workers can’t just leave because they need their job to stay in the country. We can thus speculate that most of the workers that did leave are US citizens which leaves Twitter with the H1-B workers
I work in manufacturing in the bay area. We hire so many people who are ex-tesla workers. Anyone enchanted by Elon quickly loses their gusto for the job after working there. I’ve heard some horror stories about how they treat their technicians
I know some technicians that are getting interview requests from Tesla, do you have any horror stories I can pass along?
You can’t just tease us like that😡
Money. I had some friends at Tesla early on and became millionaires from the stock options.
Twitter. No idea why anyone is left.
Sabotage from the inside. Like the guy that architected the “Death Star”
Bevel Lemelisk? Don’t think he did any sabotage.
People probably have to pay rent or some shit
When I started working, I was dedicated to work and wanted nothing else than to produce lines of code, I just loved it so much. Having a boss that was like this, dedicated and loved hard workers, I’d have loved working for him. Few years later? Fuck that, give me 100% remote, 35h/w with 7 weeks vacations, I’d be truely happy that way!
