The Twitter sh*tshow, New Year’s Eve edition
I’m going to guess that if he could invent a time machine, Elon Musk would go back and NOT buy Twitter. That’s not going to happen so we’re left gawking in horror at what he’s doing to the company. Sorry, fanboys, but your genius seems to be anything but.
Twitter employees have to bring their own toilet paper to work
Janitorial services to HQ have been cut. No one is replacing empty bog rolls.
Elon’s Twitter takeover isn’t playing well around the world
