Well, musk showed he can just shirk duty and take home more money... so why not follow his lead.
What?
Musk might be the number 1 person in the whole world when it comes to losing money this past year.
Oh, I'm hardcore anti musk, but I mean "firing watchdog staff to reduce overhead", not that musk is financially literate.
If musk can fire his watchdog staff, thereby reducing staffing costs, other companies will want to follow suit. Just look at Spez admiring musk.
They are just another Lemmy user that doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.
