Probably true.
I heard
What Elon Musk Is Doing to Twitter Is What He Did at Tesla and SpaceX
Firing people. Talking of bankruptcy. Telling workers to be “hard core.” Mr. Musk has repeatedly used those tactics at many of his companies.
Now I see why Republicans love Musk
A crisis atmosphere and self-imposed austerity gives Mr. Musk the cover to make drastic changes and fire top managers or eliminate large swaths of staff, two former Tesla executives said. It also prepares those who remain to work under extreme conditions to bring about Mr. Musk’s desires, they said.
The approach at Twitter, where Mr. Musk has laid off thousands of employees, “is typical Elon,”
It's the way Republicans run their companies!!!!!
