Currently an emergency twitter all-hands going on with Elon Musk answering employee Q's

Elon was asked: "How are you going to deal with the expected attrition and align everyone on a shared vision?"

Elon Answer: "I don't know....we all need to be more hardcore."

Serious question: why does he not hire an executive team with social media business expertise, and then get out of their way, and let them do what they do?

I thought that was the one thing he Was good at.

@taylorlorenz what kind of an answer is "we all need to be more hardcore" in this context? How would hardcoreness do anything to solve attrition?

This boggles the mind.

Especially when you read this in the article

There’s an exodus of Twitter executives, including the head of trust and safety, as Musk’s chaotic reign continues

Three of Twitter's top security, safety and privacy executives have resigned, moves that add to what had already been a chaotic two-week run since Elon Musk

@taylorlorenz Reminds me of when I worked for an online company in the early 2000s that had been on a meteoric rise and then suddenly took a dive. Our last meeting after layoffs & before acquisition the CEO told the company, "If you're still here it's because we felt you were the best of the bunch." The vast majority of the people who survived the layoffs were new and were receiving the lowest wages. The best of the bunch...
