His layoffs were way more stupid than others. They were sudden, they were spiteful, they were public, they made little sense even in the framework of the bigger picture

You can blame him for the stupidity of how he engaged in them, but a lot of people seem to think that if nothing else had happened there never would have been layoffs.

Big Tech got fat during the pandemic, it couldn't have kept on growing as people started leaving the house again.

Yeah, big tech is bloated, and the layoffs are widespread, but whatever Musk did was stupid on top of that
