Musk and the Firing of 12 Floors of People

Elon Musk has been trolling Twitter on its own platform. One tweet was a poll asking: Convert Twitter SF HQ to homeless shelter since no one shows up anyway. In response, 91.5% said ‘yes’.

However, the response he got from businessman Matt Huber and responded to probably struck fear in the hearts of the San Fran employees. Huber shared a clip of Carl Icahn talking about firing 12 floors of employees. Musk’s response was “exactly”.

The Icahn story is one in which Icahn tells The New York Times’ Andrew Ross Sorkin a story about his 1984 takeover of ACF Industries.

The company manufactured railroad cars and the price was cheap given the assets. After a day of work in the New York headquarters where employees occupied twelve floors of space, he told Sorkin, “I go home, take a look at my yellow pad. I can’t figure out what the hell they do.”

He asked the company’s COO how many employees they needed to do the work and the COO said to “fire them all”.

Icahn thought the guy could be crazy and hired a group of Columbia U consultants to find out what the employees do. After spending $250,000, the consultants said, “We don’t know what they do either.”

Huber then joked about it, but Musk tweeted, “I’m serious about this by the way”.

Liberals for the most part don’t work, they spend 7 hours a day shuffling Government created Paperwork which is just business overhead. The Deep State couldn’t allow President Trump to run the Government like a for profit Service Organization because that would end up with the firing 90% of Federal Government Employees.

Production is the key to America’s future. Production created America. All Liberal want out of life is to play and want someone else to pay for it.

If Musk did fire 12 floors of Liberal Fascist that would change a lot of thinking in America! Musk didn’t become the richest man in the world by playing with himself; he is a Producer!

Musk wan’t born in America so he can’t be President, but when Musk becomes the King Maker, Liberals will long for the day that Trump was President.

Oh, how sweet that would be! At least someone would be helping the homeless in CA since none of the politicians will do anything. How long has no one shown up? How much of the money is wasted because the building is empty. Employees working at home with no supervision? We know how that goes. They take anyone off Twitter just cause they can!
