    First rule for any data scientist working under Musk…

    Find numbers that make him happy. Hide/deprioritize numbers that don’t make him happy.

    Else you will get fired.

      Musk data scientists be like: Sir, average user daily time has increased by 300%! ignores that 90% of accounts are gone and the only ones left are unemployed 40 year old redcaps who keep talking about owning everyone now

      Where have I seen this pattern before…?

      Oh, right! The mass famine of the Great Leap Forward was caused by exactly this kind of thing! But … I’ve seen this pattern elsewhere. Let me think…

      Oh, right! Literally every medium- to large-sized corporate entity I’ve ever worked in!

      There’s a reason why I call corporate thinking “corporate communism”.

    And let’s be honest he’s still CEO regardless of who this Linda person is…

    An interesting read actually, and while it still has the Elon bad bias, it’s nice to have actual data to back up usage statistics instead of opinion statements.

        O agreed, however, just opinion pieces are redundant and not interesting to keep reading over and over. I like seeing the data that backs it up vs people just saying it’s declining.

        I actively avoid twitter links at this point, never have any substance anyway.

          I agree. Dude’s an idiot but blabbing without data is what redcaps do. Everyone else needs to do better. At the turnover of the year everyone was talking about Meta dying and Facebook almost gone even though usage was almost as high as ever and making billions in profits every quarter. Really shows how daft internet comments can be.
