Remember when Elon fired the whole Starlink team? Or more recently the Supercharger team? Yup, everyone made a fuss about it back then. Now, both products are the best in their category with a big margin.

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Opens with a question, so the reader starts answering before they have decided to read.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Opens with a question
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Hiring managers and founders

The European Commission’s $140 million fine on @X is an abomination. It’s an attack on a great American job creator & it’s an attack on the free speech of every American. Trump should impose SANCTIONS until this travesty is reversed.

Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview @xAI. My apologies. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.

Elon does this relatively often. And it works. Not too long ago, he fired almost the entire Supercharger team. Now it’s thriving like never before. In 2018 he fired a lot of the managers and staff from the Starlink team.
