Did Musk e-transfer it himself? How could Xitter possibly mess this up?

Well, when you fire all the competent people solely so that you can brag about the number of people you fired…

NGL, if I worked at Twitter, it was probably because I get paid extremely well and there's no alternatives. So I'd absolutely phone it in. On a good day, id half ass it. And on the average day, id be copying and pasting chatGPT code directly into production servers, just enough work to not get fired, but not too much where I'll get pulled into a meeting as someone who can solve critical problems.

Gonna bet that's how every twitter employee is.

I was pretty surprised to learn that Interac e-transfer or equivalent isn't commonplace everywhere.
