If you want money, work life balance, comfortable pace it’s not the place.

If you want to change the world, are ready to push yourself, work with the most dedicated people, it is.

It’s a place for very few. I would really like to work in one of his company, but I don’t think I have the stamina for it.



Twitter already changed the world a decade ago, all someone would be doing at this point is maybe helping them not file for bankruptcy. But if someone really wants a job with zero security in this economy they should go for it!


Change the world? By working for Twitter and whatever whim Musk have next for Twitter's direction?

Stop drinking the kool-aid.


What part would be changing the world? Seems like at the most hes going to eventually do a lap and twitter will end up where it started, just saddled with 900 million dollar a year debt fees. At worst just a place where saying the N word is more acceptable.


"What part would be changing the world?"

- Break up the cartel that is mass media + tech giants + democrats

- The control on the narrative determine what people think, how they votes, where the world goes.

- Making this open and transparent will disrupt many entrenched interests.

Huge potential


You think Twitter controls the narrative?


It’s part of it.

What get promoted, what get shut down.

It’s clear for most people moderately conservative.

We can agree to disagree. For my part I think we will see massive changes for the better, time will tell either way.


I'm guessing you also refer to 'best Korea.'


You will not change the world by working at the new Twitter. You will only do two things:

1. Work long "hardcore" hours for no increase in pay merely to dig Musk out of the financial hole he put himself in.

2. Clone existing services. Musk's grand ideas for Twitter 2.0 are simply to clone WeChat/TikTok/YouTube/Instagram/OnlyFans.


> If you want to change the world, are ready to push yourself, work with the most dedicated people, it is.

Yikes.

Maybe for SpaceX.

For Tesla 5 years ago.

For Twitter 10 years ago.

But now "change the world" is only true for SpaceX.


"Change the world by adding PayPal to Twitter."

Nah.
