It’s Pareto’s principle 20% of the people do 80% of the work. That’s how he fired people and twitter still works just fine.
Ask the folks left at Twitter how they feel about it.
price's law....
Exactly!
@Levels And Gear why?
@@levelsandgear5644 I'd be fine with the leeches out of the office.
Twitter, before Elon was a government office company. Over staffed, under performing.
Since Musk took over Twitter: 9- million less users, cut 3,750 jobs, revenue down 40%, stock down 65%. BTW, they still censor content.
And tax payer money in their paychecks.
And Elon transformed it into a dumpster fire. 😂
I'm sure you like working at companies that force every last ounce of effort out of you. That constantly have you worried about termination if standards and quotas aren't being met. Sounds like a dream. Sounds like Elon's preferential reality for the world.
Exactly
This guy can literally say, "It's not rocket science!" and get away with it lmao
Indeed! 😂😂😂😂
Elon is absolutely right when he mentioned no one cared about negative events happening on the other side of the world 200 years ago. We were only concerned with negative news in our village. The issue we face today is that all news is instant and can be overwhelming. As an example, no one knew or cared about hurricanes running rampant through mostly uninhabited land half a world away 100 years ago but now, not only do we hear and see it live, we attribute it to our imminent doom as a planet.
Yeah and 200 years ago we did not have this standard of living which causes us to depend on so much of the rest of the world to make that stuff and ship it to us.
Very well said.
@@donaldkasper8346 'We need to be globalists' is a horrible and despicable sentiment.
@@donaldkasper8346 Used to be a time when every nations was producing what it needed , we should strive to get back to that. Yeah, it would initially cost more then the market would stabilize . It s ridiculous to be so dependent on other countries. Like Iceland is doing with greenhouses , of course not every country have easy access to steam power , here in Canada, we should be able to use the extra electricity to power/heat greenhouses, it s done in my part, we grow cucumbers yearly long , even with -30C winter, they are planning to add more kind of vegetables maybe even fruits.
😅😮щд
Elon hit the nail on the head…Twitter was a glorified activist organization…👍🏽🧐
He's acting like a Big Shot by bragging about laying off 80% of the workers. But does he know the exorbitant costs he will absorb with Unemployment Insurance? This may not have been the wisest move on his part if he wants to gain a profit.

So nice to see two people can still sit in a room and have a conversation that revolves around rational thinking and reality. Don't see much of this in an interview anymore.

"If you're not trying to run a glorified activist organization, and you don't care that much about censorship; then you can really let go of a lot of people" - hit the nail on the head.
This was the internet pre-2014/15, those were good times.
After Trump won in 2016, establishment gets crazy and crazier.
More like pre-Occupy 2011.
Both good points, but how about this: the web changed when it became majority mobile. Smartphones changed everything, there ceased to be a separation between the web and the mainstream culture.
These days it's near impossible to be "offline", and that's sad in a way.
05/23/23 - Elon is regretting get rid of staff - he said, he made those choices late at night. Wants to hire some back, I read Twitter has lost 50% or its revenue and has hired Linda Yaccarino to get Corp accounts back - sounds like he made a few rash BAD business choices. I hope Corp accounts doing come back. Tweeter is useless, people with short attention spans just tweet others comments, with VERY LITTLE INSIGHTFUL PEOPLE ON TWEETER. Lets hope TWEETER goes bankrupt - its useless to the creative, inquisitive mind.

Not if they hurt Elon's feelings, then they get banned. 😂😂

Yeah Canadian BBC.😂

@@fvr12345🤦🏻♂️
Yup. It's these people that are freaking geniuses. I mean he's right from a business prospective on the staffing for twitter and productivity. I mean lots don't like his stances, but it's the hard, business truth and well aside from stances on issues that other people don't like, they're just simple and don't understand any concepts.
Well, he has Asperger's so yeah, he'll come across a little awkward sometimes.
@@fvr12345 😭😂😂
The fact that he fired 7k people and Twitter kept on functioning, didn't miss a beat, tells you that it was way over staffed. If a hospital had 10k employees and 7k were fired instantly, the hospital would shut down and wouldn't be able to function. Cut a business by 80% and it will tank if it actually requires that much manpower
How's that going now?

Remember like 6 years ago when Elon was the lefts guy, then Elon called out the cult and is now the lefts second worst enemy? 🤔
Left doesn’t like powerful men. They like submissive men. Men in dresses is a Libs dream.
Musk is such an unlikely MAGA hero. He supported, then voted for Clinton in 2016. He supported Yang then voted for Biden in 2020. Then he dumped the Democrats for supporting unions and the working middle class, which cut into his bottom line. He’s pushing for an all electric auto world, including legislation to promote that. Tesla’s stock is down by half over the last several years. The part that’s doing best is partnered with the Chinese government. Half the major advertisers on Twitter quit because of him. He promised free speech, then banned Ye, Trump’s latest bromance. He rapidly turned Twitter into being as irrelevant and as nonviable as Truth Social.
@@ManipulationDoesntWork You can know them by their actions. So far, Musk has shown some decent actions. Even more than Trump's.
Very true. I keep hoping that Musk and DeSantis and Trump will realize that they're all on the same team.
you can't change the macrocosm
The original internet was blog posts and chat rooms. He is getting back to basics.
This man made Twitter truly a open platform. Reminds me of the internet in the early 1990s where anything perceived good or bad could be expressed without censorship or “moderation”. Social media spell the doom of the Wild West internet.
I still hate twitter cause you cant discuss anything with this small amount of characters. Only stupid stuff... Dont know what was so interesting for Musk to buy twitter if he was about the plattform and nothing else...
What a difference from the BBC interview 😅 good job Tucker
😂😂
BBC didn't get caught lying about the election. Tucker did. He's a proven liar and you believed his lies.
Do fox viewers even know what the BCC is let alone having ever left the fox bubble.
@@dandare2520 They can't penetrate the far more insidious BBC bubble.
@@dandare2520 yeah, i personally cross-reference news from many different sources because pretty much every outlet is biased. you should try changing your perspective about news and media consumption instead of judging people for watching news from a platform you dislike.
there were just under 8,000 staff members when he bought the company. Now, Twitter is left with around 1,500 employees
Yeah and despite Twitter being this huge thing it doesn't require 8.000 people to run this. No way in hell you need that many people.
Wow. What a clownfest
8000 people had that much power. Disgusting.
And the functioning of Twitter as a website has not gone down by much.
That is how you know the other 6,500 people were not necessary
The real question is: How many CEO's are learning from this Twitter-Fest ? i.e., "Dead Wood" running amuck in corp America. (Mary Barra ..... take some notes here.)
fantastic video Everybody wants to be financially independent and live a better life. With savvy investing, an inexpensive lifestyle, and diligent budgeting, this is not difficult to do. I'm glad I realised early on that achieving financial freedom requires hard work.
My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. But, if done alone, investing may be challenging and risky. For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.
@@jamesvigor6409 Would you mind recommending a specialist with a variety of investment options? This is extremely rare, and I eagerly await your response.
"You don't need all those people unless you are trying to run a glorified activist organization" 😂
Most firms today work like this and Biden' s firm. UNs too. That's why this world for 4legs, get it?
Elon just uttered one of the most revealing and profound things in the entire interview!
Best line of the interview.
@Jordan I hope you read this and go walk off the closest cliff. Its one thing to sell a message but its another to push your BS on every single thread expecting people to care.
God almighty protect Elon Musk and Tucker Calson

@@Ivan_Nano 💀💀💀 what if two of them kissed
you misspelled "strike down"
I think Musk is a pretty honorable, honest guy. Carlson’s emails showed that he would lie to and intentionally dupe his viewers over the fabricated stolen election story for higher ratings and revenue.
I thought he was describing Fox when he spoke about less truthful news.
Loving these interviews. Absolute gold
The more I listen to Elon, the more I admire him greatly.
Since Musk took over Twitter: 9- million less users, cut 3,750 jobs, revenue down 40%, stock down 65%. BTW, they still censor content.
Buy a Tesla.
Musk definitely has qualities worth admiring.
Why? He has a hard time forming and communicating a thought. He sounds like Biden and I wonder if he has a mental problem connecting his mind with his mouth.
@@Folker46590 He does tend to pause a lot, which could be explained as rethinking exactly what he wants to say on the fly. I dunno. Or starts a sentence and struggles to get out what he wants to say for a bit. I notice he does that. That by itself isn't indicative of a lack of intelligence or mental disorder considering the well thought out stuff he actually says and does. He still says a lot of intelligent things and I like some of the actions he's done. I also admire his ability as a businessman. He's achieved a lot more than most people and appears to be a fairly decent person, although I'm sure some would dispute that.
Whatever happens to Twitter's financial future, Elon can always treat that investment as a charity for humanity.
Every Elon company is basically a philanthropic endeavor
As a concession to fundamental human rights-free speech.
@@pimpompoom93726 Yep that's more important than most people realize
Only elon can say “running twitter isnt rocket science” lol
Getting the truth out to the people is a difficult thing to do, given the varied and powerful voices out there who are constantly pushing the narrative that honesty is hate speech.
Thanks Elon for your candidness and honesty!
take me to the candidshop
It’s all hearsay…
He says nothing that’s not conceptual.
How do you gauge for truth in concept?
“It’s very hard to make cars”. That’s relevant because………………?

@@Sacrifice117 back out of what deal? It’s done
The only logical reason I can think of as to why Twitter would be 80% overstaffed is to have people watch certain groups to censor them.
so now you think theres no censore? lmao
@@polpol1005 I tend not to believe things until there is evidence to suggest it, since that the most logical position to take. But if you have access to evidence that proves censorship is still occuring, feel free to share it.
@@patula3499 it's easy to see. Last example was Turkey, google it. Twitter is run by feelings Elon’s feelings.

Fact.
I think it is still surprising that as many as 1500 people work at twitter. It was almost 8000 people when he took over. That's unbelivably many. No one seems to mention that.
Google "Twitter staffing changes since inception". They added nearly 5000 employees starting in 2019. The number of individuals who didn't know their job, had never had a job before but we're making huge money, and sat around all day in the free cafe and restaurant were staggering
Worse still were the employees who posted their daily routines to their accounts and both YT and TikTok.
Of course they all had to go.
BUT they were "cool" and had a good weed connection
Bring us back Tucker Carlson!! Alternatively RIP for Fox
You would be surprised how lazy 80% of the workforce really is. Layoffs also happen when that 80% hold bs jobs, but they're still layoffs
The stark contrast between this interview and the BBC "interview" is terrifying
it's incredible really. the BBC person was out to smear him period. did that Woke thing of just talking over him constantly.
Knowing how the BBC feel about themselves (literally more arrogant and self-important than any other outlet in the world) and how they feel about Fox, it must really grind their gears to see the night and day difference between this interview and that one.
And predictable
Tucker's a far right buddy, isn't he?
One company paid almost a BILLION dollars for spreading fake news and the other hasnt. Big difference, I know.

I know EXACTLY what Elon's talking about when it comes to ridiculously overstaffed internet companies. Back in the days of the bubble 20+ years ago, I used to work at the largest media company in my country as lead web designer of their web portal and it was both hilarious and infuriating how many people they had that did almost absolutely NOTHING (and even faked their overtime charts!), while myself and a few others actually carried the bulk of the work AND were also technical at multiple levels to multitask and do more than we had to. When I finally quit to join another company at 3X the money, it took them 2 months and 4 people to replace me and I believe they could barely keep 1 of them because they couldn't handle the work, nor they had the knowledge, skills, drive, management abilities and talent for the position. So I experienced first hand what Elon found when he performed due diligence on Twitter. Most of the large corporations are run by incompetent bozos and bean counters that have ZERO clue on who is who inside the companies they run.
Sound a lot like our current government.
@@frankiejames6651 except you can’t just leave to work for the competition like a different govt

Thank you Elon for giving us the hope!!! Hope in 2023 is rare and precious!!!
This is the energy of marketing - going for the clicks absolutely removes integrity. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the news actually had integrity... imagine that.

@@DRichards705 who BIDEN lmfao
The media hasn't had integrity since the late 1950s.
I can believe it was really way overstaffed . Like a company or agency that is overloaded from the top down and is nothing more than a front for rewarding jobs to family , friends and political influencers .
Sort of like the Canadian liberal party.
Rich liberals protecting their own.
and they think THATS equality. lmfao. id love to know what they think actual privilege is. oh wait they can't even define what it is because they know how they live IS privileged and they dont want it taken away so they claim its oppression instead.
Well just look at Google and Facebook, both are peer companies of Twitter and are now laying off thousands of people now that we are entering a economic downturn. Many of these laid-off people are now revealing they were often paid to do nothing seemingly for no other reason then to deny their talent to potential rival companies. These are monopolies maintaining their Monopoly by preventing future rivals from getting the talent they need to become a computer. Such behavior is not sustainable for a company but only needs to last long enough for the company to establish unassailable dominance.
Like Google. Like Facebook.
How did such an absurdly overstaffed company have such a tiny amount of product development?
Wasn't this guy for fired? Shame on him
“No one should trust the internet”. Agreed!
these comments are being censored.. what happened to free speech
It's by far the most sweetest thing to have ever been done. Elon.. sounds like nobody got hurt to me 😁
Maybe "butt hurt" is all. Best reality show for 2022 for the rest of us. 😁
Worked in tech sector before, I would say Elon is absolutely correct. Not only Twitter was overstaffed, many other tech firms are the same. Pretend to work, enjoy all kinds of welfares, and enjoy the elite status. While there are some talents for sure, many more just got in by remember answers of interview questions, such as Leetcode, etc. No innovative ideas at all, even no formal IT training at all. It is glad that Elon finally exposed the truth😂
Caught sleeping on my desk, blame it on insomnia
Elon musk is spot on about negative biased. He is 100 percent spot on
Twitter was an agent of tyranny. Please keep the bird free. Free Bird.

Elon is such a pragmatic gift to humanity.
He is frank, direct, and honest. He talks like he knows what he’s doing because he knows exactly what he’s doing. He has ambitious goals and a clear vision, and he knows how to get there.

The thing about Elon, from what I've come to understand, is that he inspires loyalty among his workers. People know that all the expectations he has for others that work for him are not lower than the expectations he holds for himself. He's a good leader with a good head on his shoulders and a heart in a good place, and people see that.
Have you worked for him? He is a very difficult man to please as a boss.
A reasonably demanding boss work well with staff who also demand of themselves the best from themselves.

He starts this interview by slamming Fox - hilarious
Honesty and integrity will get you everywhere, thanks Elon for your bold moves in everything that you do!

Before Elon you could simply disagree with someone and you would get banned/suspended, I am not talking about being a monster and just being hateful but you literally couldn't have an opinion that didn't align with twitter. Now I can actually disagree with people and not be sent to the dungeons of twitter. Twitter is still a hive of crazy but at least I can share my disagreement with people now.
Yup!
I wasn't suspended for a while now and it feels strange, I used to get a suspension a week or bi weekly!
Suspensions were for normal views btw, nothing hateful or racist.
Yep I used to get little bans all the time. Ended up getting a perma a few years ago and quit, until Elon bought twitter. Redownloaded same day as I knew he'd sort that nonsense. Final straw for me was some CCP loving communist, that in their attempts of trying to tell me less people live below the poverty line in china than the UK (my country), they got infuriated and called me a balding degen. That's because in my picture I had a shaved head, which I had done for a family member with Leukemia. But the intent was, shaming for male pattern baldness. So, as a rational human being, I called them a beluga whale, for appearing to be 500 pounds in their picture. That got me perma banned. Nothing for them.
@@kennwan9917 Perma shadow banned me for asking what a woman was.
I remain banned from Twitter for saying men cannot become women. Banned after Musk took over. I refuse to delete the Tweet.
Exactly, you couldn't disagree with a particular narrative and you'll be banned, but now at the very least I can disagree with the freaks and actually voice my opinion.
Facebook on the other hand
Spies, PR and HR you gotta go! How many US companies would benefit from this house cleaning.
Kinda crazy that Elon sounds quite a bit like Morgan Freeman!
You need a lot of employees at the old Twitter to serve the FBI demands
Yes! Same with the other tech companies, all infiltrated by former alphabet agency workers. Inside jobs aplenty.
I also think the government is overstaffed to many people just star gazing instead of working
All governments are like that
the truth is earth is FLAT
Love the new Tucker Carlson and the Fox News! Much respect!❤
From what I've read. "Working" at Tweeter was more like being on break all day.
Yes, but you had do your quota of blocking and banning conservative speech.
Did you see the video? Yoga rooms, game rooms, wine on tap, etc.
Those tik toks narrated with that weird stilted speech patterns (usually chic's in their 20's) about corporate culture....before summarily being laid off. L
OL!
Turns out when you kick 80% employees out of the cry closets the other 20% get off their asses and do their job
@@lpfx777 Exactly.
tucker and elon, two men i have a lot of respect for. i'm glad he decided to give this interview.
I can’t believe I’m liking a video with TC. I’m so impressed with me.
I really liked his take on humans being naturally negative. His quote is so accurate really made me think.
It's so true. When you think about it, we only remember all the bad news. The happy news we just look at them, smile and then forget about them.
What should I say as a realist? People see me as a very negative person when in fact I say what I see and how it is. You save a lot of time in life that way not sugarcoating it and wasting time on unreliable people
@@Sapizanza problem is there’s also a lot of good in the world we just naturally only remember the negatives.
@@UnhingedCanadian That is true
Candidly, Elon is the Edison of our time!
Their will be history books written about this dude after everyone is gone.💯
And bks will say he was blk someday and u will be called racist for saying her was whyte
More like Tesla
@@a.d.4536 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Probably right
Not even close to Edison. To say that says a lot about your education.
😂😂 Sorry, what did he invent? How has he improved the world? Crying and banning anyone who's mean to him on Twitter is great as Edison? 😂🤣
Without all that staff, who’s going to do all the censoring?
Musk will just be in a corner crying about people being mean to him. 😂🤣
@@kairidon3363 He hasn't been so far. But you just keep imagining it since that makes you feel good about yourself. 🤡🙈🙉🙊
The first person banned was Ye, Trump’s latest bromance.
Musk is in charge of censoring everyone he doesn't like. That's why they call him Twittler
@@kairidon3363 even when their poster boy Elon musk has control of Twitter, they are still victimizing themselves with their RINO persecution syndrome.
My respect for Elon 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
Why did you spend 40B on an ‘absurdly’ overstaffed company....
I’m seeing a lot more positive things on my Twitter timeline as well. I actually feel better most of the time after checking Twitter funny enough.
HR came about because managers can’t deal with their employees.
I don't like the idea of globalism, but if Elon ran for president of Earth i would vote for him.
You know whose overstaffed? Our government.
I know this is simplistic, but twitter is a platform to post a limited textmessage. How many people do you need to maintain that kind of company?
Elon always seems like his thoughts are 15 steps ahead of his voice
It's because he's on the autism spectrum. He's got a disability
He clearly has at least some level of Autism. I have a nephew who's the same. Smart as a whip, but his brain moves so fast that the rest of him has trouble keeping up.
15 steps ahead but at a snails pace
@@gregsteele806 He did say he has Asperger syndrome.
@@inciwillard991 I hadn't heard him say that, but I'm not surprised.
Working at twitter is like eating chips on the couch all day with sandals on
organic chips and recycled sandals Larry! lol
"working"
I bet the employees got chunky around the waist.
yeah that would seem like work to you
Love that comparison. Twitter employees thinking they’re rocket scientists.
Proves the Pareto Principle that 20% of workers do 80% of the work. Smart.
