Yes, obviously being born into wealth and having his father invest $25,000 into his initial business were distinct advantages that Musk had. However, you don't turn $25,000 into a $300 million company unless you are really good at what you do.  My guess is that someone like Musk would have found a way without that initial investment from his father.

Obviously, I wasn't trying to say he wasn't talented, especially before he became the type for person who definitely thinks people are lucky to smell his farts. But it's very fair to acknowledge his wealth and connections while also saying he busted his ass to get there.

I guess hardcore means going without pay.

People are genuinely unsure how this company functions come next week. As is, some emergency contractors are going to have to come in asap just to cut checks.

In addition to the payroll team being gone, Twitter's entire US tax team is gone, I'm told, along with its financial reporting team. Not great.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

Shocking. Who could have possibly seen this coming?

If Twitter does come to an end, is there any place you guys would like to see www.twitter.com/MUOverload move to? 

Instagram?  Facebook?  Mastodon? 

I could also just post stuff at www.muoverload.com.

When Digg fell there was an obvious exodus to Reddit. When/if Twitter falls, users will all flock to a single platform. Choose that platform.

I eagerly await your TikTok videos.

Spitting facts.  Back in ‘69, I worked 20 hours a day in the coal mine and still drank a dozen boilermakers a night while running a plow truck.

Kids these days complain about working a 40-hour work week. In my day, we were grateful that we got to work 40-hour work days.

They have no understanding of real work.

Once we gave them 8-hour work days and weekends off, it was all over for guys like Elon

I just don’t understand why we can’t just give people money and then control their livelihoods.

Musk probably got his data here:

The Average Office Worker Is Productive for Less Than 3 Hours a Day
In all career fields, the average worker is productive for 60% or less each day. For office workers, however, that percentage drops drastically. Research conducted by Voucher Cloud determined that the average office worker is only productive for two hours and 23 minutes each day.

Assuming an eight-hour workday, office workers are generally unproductive for five hours and 37 minutes each day. That’s a massive chunk of time and employer’s money wasted every day.

Sounds like Peter from Office Space.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Hadn’t looked at his account lately.  Wow.  His kids need to intervene
