Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
And so the grand experiment begins. I feel bad for the folks losing their job because that always sucks, and I hope there&#x27;s a decent severance package.<p>Now we&#x27;ll see what happens to Twitter... I hardly use it, so if it implodes it won&#x27;t bother me too much. But I am curious to see if all the &quot;how do you need X people to do Y?&quot; commenters are correct in this case. The app is simple but doing simple things at scale is hard. I wonder if we&#x27;ll see more downtime and issues now.<p>I think this is also a great experiment for everyone who either thinks Elon is a genius and the greatest thing to bless this Earth,  or those who say he&#x27;s overrated and Tesla and SpaceX were successes independent of him. I think Twitter has been around long enough that we&#x27;ve all formed impressions of it. Let&#x27;s see what this single change of replacing ownership actually results in.<p>Anyone want to make predictions about the state of Twitter in a few years?
