Seems like “Elon the Terrible” is wreaking havoc on poor disenfranchised Twitter employees. On the heels of canning more than half the company’s workforce and a large chunk of its contractors, he’s gone full “John Wick” by cancelling free dining for the malnourished Twitter employees. I can just hear Greata somewhere muttering, “how dare you!”

Harking back to the “dark ages” Twitter employees will now have to, dare I say it, pay for their own meals. This latest overreach by the maniacal Elon is reminiscent of Joseph Stalin’s and just like Stalin starved his fellow countrymen and women, some are saying (Michael Moore among them I’m sure, who by the way has never met a buffet he didn’t like) that Elon is intent on 'starving' his workforce, which according to some reports, cost a meager $400 per person to feed daily. I’m guessing organic, vegan, free range wheatgrass isn’t all that cheap huh?

After his acquisition of Twitter last month, not only did Lord Vader, fire over half of the company’s workforce but get this, implemented a mandatory work-in-office policy. The cajons’ on this guy, huh? With some exceptions, the remaining Twitter employees who had gotten so comfortable working in their onseys from home, now would have to actually show up in person to do their jobs, I’m sure it won’t be long before they demand Tesla’s so they can get to the office while saving the planet at the same time.

In a series of tweets, what else, Musk spelled out his plans to scrap the company’s free meals served at HQ in San Francisco because, for some strange reason he didn’t’ think that siphoning the company coffers to the tune of $13 million dollars a year, made financial sense. I guess no one told him financial viability is just a social construct!

This past Sunday, Musk said that offering free meals at the company’s cafeteria had become unsustainable because “almost no one came to the office,” and that there were more cafeteria workers than there were employees at the office.

Of course, his remarks, triggered unhinged former Twitter employees, one of those insisted that the free meals only cost around $25 per employee per day, a claim that Musk swatted down.

“This is a lie. I ran this program up until a week ago when I resigned because I didn’t want to work for @elonmusk,” wrote Tracy Hawkins on Twitter, the company’s former VP of work transformation. “For breakfast & lunch we spent $20-$25 a day per person. This enabled employees to work thru lunchtime & mtgs. Attendance was anything from 20-50% in the offices.”

Notwithstanding the actual amount, given I’m not privy to it, my main takeaway from Tracy’s comments is that she believes office attendance between 20%-50% is simply stellar. I wonder if Tracy would feel the same way if she were operating a restaurant with full staff & goods, only to have it frequented between 20%-50% of its capacity, would she really be willing to lose money day after day? Yeah, you’re right, could go either way!

The Muskinator hit back to say that Twitter’s own records show that office occupancy only averaged at 10% and peaked at 25%.
“There are more people preparing breakfast than eating breakfast,” Musk said. “They don’t even bother serving dinner, because there is no one in the building.” C’mon Elon can you blame them bro, have you seen the crime rate in San Francisco?

Now before you begin to think that these poor Twitter employees are like characters from Oliver Twist, just begging for another bowl of porridge, based on the online searches I did, the average Twitter employee’s salary is $146,546, with is $70.45 per hour. Those 10% at the lowest rung of Twitter earn around $106,000 per year and top 10% just over $201,000 per year. So, I’m thinking dying of hunger isn’t going to be a problem for them anytime soon!
