Meta and Amazon laid off nearly three times as many employees as Twitter, yet, we focus solely on Musk's decision?!? Unnecessary meltdown much?!? The only reason people are up in arms over Musk is because they are upset over his acquisition.

Musk isn't stupid but he is impulsive.
Amazon has something like 1.4M employees and Meta has over 70k. Twitter HAD 7k. You can't compare them based on the numbers laid off. That's just silly. Compare the layoffs and subsequent exodus at Twitter based on a % of workforce.
Did Amazon, Google, and Meta put core revenue at risk with the layoffs? Did any of them leave critical departments completely unstaffed?
A lot of people here defending WHY Musk came in and gutted the place. My train wreck comments were more directed at the HOW.
