This is an interesting thread and linked article. I think it totally wrong in many respects. Twitter is awful for this, but a few points: 1/X
2/X: Life under Franco was excellent for most people. To say otherwise is ahistorical. The Church turned against Franco not for reasons of appointment conflict, but because it turned Left.

1. Today I follow up to this November tweet, and show @elonmusk has won. I claimed that his firings, by themselves, moved Twitter from negative profit to the profit margin of Apple or Google (approaching 30%). I was 100% correct, but I underestimated the new profit margin.
2. Last week, Musk said Twitter now has 2,300 employees. This means my estimate that Musk had fired 70% of Twitter’s employees was nearly exactly on-target (I had said Twitter had, after Musk’s cuts, 2,250 employees).

1. I will now examine Twitter’s past financials and predict the future from them. I conclude that criticism of @elonmusk is bizarrely off base, because Musk has overnight changed Twitter’s net (profit) margin from negative 20% to approximately plus 28%, more than Apple or Google.
2. I am using annualized percentages based on Twitter’s most recent quarterly filings, for the period ending 6/30/22. These documents are freely available at the SEC’s website.
