I always scroll to the bottom of the HN comments to see the non-woke take. I was not disappointed!
Elon is about the most capable entrepreneur of the 21st century. He could start from scratch and have something more awesome and profitable than Twitter in a few years. He had an extreme culture problem though it seems. The company had been taken over by ideologues and was losing 4 million a day.
He had to get rid of everyone who wasn't aligned with his new vision. He had to depoliticize the company which meant firing most of the staff. He'll probably have to move it to Texas or make it fully remote if he wants to finish depoliticizing it.
What does depoliticizing even mean? It making the company about maximizing profit, not transforming society based on the political value of its actions.
