> After Musk bought Twitter, Davis and his wife, Nicole Hollander, slept in the San Francisco headquarters of the Twitter office with their one-month-old child while they helped Musk cut the social media company to the bone. Once, according to a Musk biographer, they spent a Christmas Eve helping Musk move data servers.

From the linked Politico story.

This is just sad. I cannot begin to understand what motivates someone to do this. Sending people to the moon, curing cancer, sure. But sacrificing so much to fire people from a social media company?

money


I think the figure Musk circulated was that it was losing $4M / day. Although that probably includes the interest bill on the debt used for financing and might be inflated.


Yeah, but Musk has nobody to blame but himself both for buying it and how he financed it.


Because people have been glazing this dumbass and feeding his ego for his entire adult life. Ive met musk cultists and "cultist" really is more of an accurate description than an insult for some of these people.

If you have it in your head that he's our generation's equivalent to Newton or Euler then its natural to want to be his assistant or apprentice for the sake of participating (what you think to be) a historically significant event.
