  • Good news from the medium

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to Alan Ianson on Wed Aug 14 20:29:50 2024
    Hello Alan,

    Ridiculous. "Several staffers" isn't a person, and it's not a people
    either.
    It's a made up lie. It doesn't matter how many "sources" say it, there's
    no
    truth in it unless you (at least) have names.

    And you believe fox news?

    Fox Propaganda Network is not "news" of any kind.

    Fox news has a long history of lies and distortions.

    Propaganda is truth as Fox knows it.

    For Life,
    Lee

    Mediabiasfactcheck.com isn't a government agency. What authority do they have to tell us anything?

    I see you. Your life is run on government agencies. Got it.

    For goodness gracious me. Are you really *REALLY* that daft?

    Many millions of users (including me) confirmed that X worked completely

    Can you please leave at least this conspiracy theory for now?

    Yea, it's almost like if you fire all the engineers who are responsible for making your web presense stable and reliable, you may have problems like this. Who'd have thought? :D

    You can't believe whatever crap from whatever website on the internet.

    Your argument is the most ridiculous one that I've heard in a long time.

    Not I, that's for sure. Not without fact-checking, so I asked Grok, and here's what she told me:

    When Elon Musk took over Twitter, the company had approximately 8,000 employees. Since then, Musk has fired roughly 80% of the workforce, which means about 6,500 employees have been let go.

    This drastic reduction left Twitter with around 1,500 employees. Now, if you're wondering how a company like Twitter, which was once bustling with more people than a small town, can function with what seems like a skeleton crew, well, that's Elon's management masterclass for you.

    I'm 76 years old now, so the window is closing. I want to be alive to see the first woman President of the United States of America.
