Khashoggi’s GhostFeb 9, 2023

Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, Musk was at “peak” popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of “100.” Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.

Musk did not take the news well.

“You’re fired,” Musk told the engineer.

Interviews with current employees paint a picture of a deeply troubled workplace, where Musk’s whim-based approach to product management leaves workers scrambling to implement new features even as the core service falls apart.

When Musk or the goons ask questions, employees are torn between giving the right answer and the safe answer.

“When you’re asked a question, you run it through your head and say ‘what is the least fireable response I can have to this right now?’” one employee explained.

“We haven’t seen much in the way of longer term, cogent strategy,” one employee said. “Most of our time is dedicated to three main areas: putting out fires (mostly caused by firing the wrong people and trying to recover from that), performing impossible tasks, and ‘improving efficiency’ without clear guidelines of what the expected end results are. We mostly move from dumpster fire to dumpster fire, from my perspective.”

Personally I don't find any of this to be as off-putting as the fact that he's openly siding with the genocidal Russian terrorists over Ukraine.

Cancelling Starlink over Ukraine helps the Russians murder more Ukrainians. And he is siding with our enemy against the US and its allies.

I sincerely hope karma brings him exactly what he deserves.
