    Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’

    Honestly, I’m surprised that things are going that well.

      Why do I get the impression if you get that email from management you’re hemorrhaging worse than the top TV doctors could save you? Unless it’s an end of season episode, but mid season they’re playing some sad music before the end. Oh and look it’s mid season…unless you’re on a streaming schedule.

      Damn I’m old, they’re all on a streaming schedule now eh?

        Yah, that’s a “we’re going down the waterfall, strap in” email.

      Considering how much he paid for Twitter I question his understanding of money and therefore his claim of “breaking even”.

        You can be breaking even without making up the initial cost.

        It just means they aren’t going into further debt.

      Lol, are you taking this child at his word for a semi-public comment he made?

      Come now… We all know better.

        Well… now that you mention it there were more then a few half finished ends to my post where I speculated that maybe Mush was just stupid or deluded by the sycophants he surrounds himself with, but after struggling with the ending I decide to just keep it simple and take him at his word.

      He knows full well all-staff emails are going to be leaked. So he wanted this message to get out. If he hadn’t, he would have dealt only with the managers in meetings and let directives flow down to the scrubs that way.

      I can’t fathom why he’d feel the need for this message to get out, as there don’t appear to be any consequences for him for anything at all, so… I’ll leave that to others.

      That’s because your online life is a bubble and you’re not getting at all a realistic picture of the world.

        I’ve reactivated my X account a couple of days ago just to see what’s happening. It’s a ghost town. None of the private accounts I’ve followed posted in the last 12 months. Granted, that’s probably because I’m in a non-fascist bubble. But posts from official accounts also have a lot less engagement although there’s a huge mass of bots posting conspiracy theories and all the ads I saw where scams
