Elon proved with his purchase of Twitter that it was massively overstaffed with staff that provided zero value. Just about every company is overstaffed with useless positions. Most tech companies could easily lose 20%, even before Ai became a thing. Will Ai become merely the excuse companies use to start slashing headcount. Jack Dorsey just cut 40% to 50% of his headcount at Block, although he also over hired at Twitter, so maybe that is just a Jack Dorsey flaw. However, many other companies are also cutting headcount and citing Ai as their excuse. META being the latest.
