What stock? Twitter was delisted last Monday and there is no more common stock. Investors lost nothing. They were paid the purchase share price that Musk agreed on.
Maybe you're right about the stock, it was Tesla that lost money, based on his buying of Twitter:
Reuters Tesla Inc lost $126 billion in value on Tuesday amid investor concerns that Chief Executive Elon Musk may have to sell shares to fund his $21 billion equity contribution to his $44 billion buyout of Twitter Inc.
The rest of the things I had in that post, about troubling times ahead, possible bankruptcy, etc.
In addition, he caused other companies stocks that were impersonated to go down, like Eli Lilly.
Are you actually arguing that Musk isn't driving Twitter into oblivion? That he's doing a good job?? I'm not really clear on what you're defending him so voraciously about.

As for whether it would be better to resign now rather than waiting to be laid off (which may or may not happen) or waiting until you get another job … If you can stomach it, you’re probably better off waiting, especially because your family depends on the health insurance. And really, if you’re weighing (a) resigning now (no severance) against (b) the risk of being fired without severance … well, in both of those cases you’d be out of work with no severance. Staying at least gives you the option of severance down the road (if you’re part of a future layoff) and gives you an ongoing income and health insurance.
Assuming, of course, you can stomach it. But as long as you’re not actively doing harm, there’s no ethical imperative to quit on the spot and no shame in staying if you need to.
The cuts would be the largest in the company’s history and would primarily impact Amazon’s devices organization, retail division and human resources, according to the report.
So that's probably around 30,000 workers in the tech sector out of a job between Twitter, Facebook/Meta, and now Amazon. Happy holidays, everyone!
there are also Zillow,Pinterest .Beyond Meat,Impossible Meat,Rent a Runway,;Lyft,Coin base,and other he small fries.

I'm not really clear why you - or anyone else - has any business much less is qualified on declaring what Musk is doing. Why are you attacking so vociferously? Liberals loved the guy before he attacked a few key liberals and sided with Republicans on a few issues. Then suddenly liberals are searching and blasting out every single negative point they can. Liberals aren't raging against Bezos or Gates. You think they are any less ruthless in demanding performance from employees?
So.. Taking everything else out of the equation here..
You get fired by Twitter.. Why is it the first thing you do is get on Twitter to complain about being fired by Twitter?
Isn't that kinda like getting fired by Ford and going out and buying a brand new F-350?
The way they got fired was amusing though. They lost access to their company email accounts at Twitter, and THEN they notified through that same email line that they were laid off!
Free speech ONLY has to do with the government. It says that the government shall pass no laws restricting free speech, i.e. no matter what you say (with a few exceptions) you won't be arrested and jailed for it. That is what free speech is per the Constitution. It does not cover speech in private entities/businesses, they can restrict as much as they want, and it's not a violation of free speech. There is also nothing that says you won't have to pay social or financial consequences for your speech.
If you haven't been arrested and jailed for your speech, then your right to free speech was not violated, even if Twitter removed your post.
They really need to bring Civics classes back to high school.

Ya sure about that? If you went to a restaurant and an employee called you a "fat bastard" or "****ing idiot" to your face and got fired for it, do you think that employee would have a legal case about "wrongful termination"? Would that company be forced to give that employee back his job?
If an employee at a Fortune 500 company joked (but not really) on social media that he'd like to have sex with young children, but got fired for it, do you think he should get his job back? Ditto with people who bring politics into work (whether you're registered with one party or another). In the US, folks are hired "at will", and don't have protection against these sorts of remarks (something from the Reagon administration).
