As someone who was on a visa, reading this morning about the fashion in which twitter employees were let go and treated, I will NEVER ever seek job or contribute to a Musk owned enterprise.

Can’t pay me enough for that kind of treatment. Musk is blacklisted. No TSLA cars or TWTR stocks ever either

(Yes, he couldn’t care less, maybe, but I hope more tech talents feel the same way I do)

A more prudent approach would be to not work for anyone with the emotional control of a three year old.

Also, there were so many red flags where people could’ve left. Why’d they stick around to gamble with their lives?

Everyone loves capitalism - and probably no one has benefited more than desi indians - but everybody hates capitalism when it bites you in the backside.

I'm a little uncertain how has Musk been unkind. Could you please elaborate.

Lol 😂

Layoffs ? I mean everyone did. Meta , google, Amazon, Microsoft and on and on. There are people on visa equally impacted at those places

Zuck made extremely extremely bad decision. Just because he says “I’m accountable” doesn’t make it better. In the end, mark gained more wealth vs musk lost a lot of it. And they both did exact the same.

It’s not soap opera, it’s business. Your dignity is as good as your financials. Musk made an offer and then pulled out. The Twitter board (who by the way are swimming in money), pushed him to buy Twitter. He is doing what he think is right - for his 44 Bn investment

I still don’t understand how it differs from meta. I understand that if someone has issues with his politics or personality, but making one layoff all about humankind when other tech companies are doing the exact same is disingenuous . Ironically what people in Twitter do to get more likes.

Looking for a Delta rewards card and was going to go with Amex, but internationally Amex isn’t widely accepted and I already have the Gold. I’d like to replace my JetBlue Mastercard with a no foreign transaction fee Delta card (don’t mind a fee for the card). Is there a good Delta non-Amex option? Also, don’t have a card that’s big on travel rewards generally.

Have offers for AMEX and VISA at a Senior Manager Strategy role. Both offers are almost identical in base and annual bonus.

Which firm has faster growth to Director and better long term success?
