NEW: Luke Simon -- one of Elon Musk's top lieutenants at Twitter -- appears to be out. He's been deactivated on Slack.
@zoeschiffer he was probably lazy and unmotivated, I’m sure he was cut for a reason. Maybe Elon just needed him around until the knowledge transition was completed.
(This is what he said about people who were callously fired and then pathetically begged to come back when it became clear they were needed, by the way.)
@stu For a minute then I thought the crazies had descended on Mastodon
@zoeschiffer the trump white house 2017 vibes of this whole situation are off the charts
Trump hires only the best people.
@zoeschiffer You love to see it
@zoeschiffer sounds like someone told Musk how dumb his ideas were.
@jelasher @zoeschiffer or maybe engineers threatened to quit if he stayed
@zoeschiffer Maybe he'll start up his own Mastodon instance or something...
@Sinistar7510 @zoeschiffer I wonder if they'll welcome him on macaw.social
@zoeschiffer not relevant to the post but just wanted to say how happy I am to see yourself and @caseynewton here on mastodon. Your reporting was the only reason I snuck back on to twitter.
@zoeschiffer @TruthSandwich was he weak lazy and or unmotivated
@zoeschiffer Another one bites the dust
@zoeschiffer Winston Smith (silently): "Shit. Not another one!"
@zoeschiffer If their Slack instance ever has a glitch, everyone at Twitter is going to think they’re fired and go home.
@zoeschiffer ………… KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER COMPLETE [END]
@zoeschiffer The purge eats its own.
@zoeschiffer this is the guy who trash talked folks being asked to come back as weak and incompetent - couldn't have happened to a nicer guy
