90% Redundant Twitter

 It has been enough time. Twitter didn't explode.

 Not only was 90% of the staff useless, even Elon Musk could tell at a glance which 90% it was. He maybe cut slightly deeper than strictly optimal, but that's fine. Just a flesh wound. Not exactly a [hack the bone] moment. Instead, a good policy. This is a cancer surgery moment: you cut into healthy tissue to ensure all the cancer is gone.

 

 Censorship is still there. You can't praise genocide. It is true that it is much less than it was, even much less than Musk's original policies. However, anything hard and masculine still gets you shadowbanned. Honour still verboten. This is because it is what everyone wants: there are ways to get a linear temporal timelines of only accounts you follow, but everyone refuses to use them. 

 You could say Musk would fix the loopholes if they mattered, but if they mattered you wouldn't need them in the first place.


 Still, this is an example of Musk's bureaucrat-whispering. Even when he pisses them off, they end up not being able to do anything to him. He doesn't have to constantly repeat the [freedom of reach] nonsense, he can just do what he wants. Shit status: secured.
