it'd be so poetic if elon buys paypal, strips it down to the bones just like twitter, & integrates back into x (his original vision which he got fired for). in another life, i'd love to be ceo of x pay, there is so much potential god damn.

Viral score

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

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, blunt
Written for: Hiring managers and founders

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.

guess who got laid off today! 🫠 i am genuinely so confused and bewildered like, i spent the past week debugging the rivalry system while recovering from pneumonia and just in the past few days i’ve had multiple directors tell me how much they appreciate everything i do

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

Kamala Harris has and will interview with: -Howard Stern -Rickey Smiley -Call Her Daddy -Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson (All The Smoke) -Oprah -60 Minutes -The View -Stephen Colbert -Dana Bash/CNN -Stephanie Ruhle/MSNBC -Univision But I’m told she isn’t doing media. 🙄

Reviving this account to say: Almost everyone at Vimeo was laid off yesterday, including the entire video team. If you're looking for talented engineers, there are a few on the market. Sucks to see something I built killed by private equity in a technology company skin suit.

We won. Starmer abandons plans for compulsory Digital ID. This is a HUGE win. Well done to EVERYONE who has been fighting - from all political parties and none. A team effort. It proves that we can make progress when we come together to fight this appalling Labour Government.

zuck seems less like a visionary & more an extremely aggressive adapter who controls enough equity & has enough cash flow to act on adaptations instantly. that’s a different & maybe rarer (maybe even more admirable) thing than being right.

anyone trying to opportunistically cozy up to government demand right now is stepping straight into a generational perception minefield with both their employees & their customers. there’s no thread the needle strategy here. you are what you do, when you do it.

waymo is doing literal on the ground sci fi w/ autonomous point a to b for humans & goods at scale (a *real* human problem since the dawn of existence) & the valuation is only 1/6th of openai & less than half of anthropic? that's remarkable. why wasn't i invited to invest?

in ~5 years there’ll be another marquee case, except this time it won't be personal diaries. it’ll be nine ai note takers, three auto dialed bots that you didn't even know were in the meeting, all producing perfect transcripts with timestamps everywhere.

let me get this straight in an alternate reality thinking machines gets scooped by zuck for ~$75b ~8 months ago. investors cash out, employees get rich, & everyone moves on. oh & scale ai gets no liquidity whatsoever. in this reality there is ~ only one winner, openai. fun.

uh, so like thinking machines completely imploded today? someone dm me the tea plz. there is more drama in ai than in the desperate housewives of silicon valley.
