Viral photo shows ‘before’ and ‘after’ Elon Musk took over Twitter; check reactions
Things haven’t been great on Twitter since billionaire Elon Musk took over the social media giant and additionally made several major changes to how it works. After introducing several major changes to the platform, Twit’s new chief began by laying off almost 50% of all of his employees, followed by mass resignations, in line with Musk’s ultimatum for a “workplace environment.” hard work”. The situation has been quite chaotic for a few weeks now. While employees in almost all departments have been laid off, this has now given rise to another worrying situation, namely a decline in the female workforce.
The drastic reduction in the number of female employees also caught the internet’s attention, thanks to a new social media post, and prompted multiple reactions from netizens. Notably, this case came to light recently after a user named Lauren Chen recently took to Twitter and shared two photos comparing the social media company’s workforce, before and after Musk took office.
Looked:
While the first image shows a decent number of employees with both men and women in healthy numbers, the second image barely shows 2-3 female employees among the group of several male employees. Musk was also posing in the second photo.
Well, the user didn’t specify the exact thing, social media users were too quick to spot the difference and quickly took to the comments section to share their reactions. One user wrote: “Thought it didn’t exist anymore. Really…no women there,” while another user commented, “Tell me you support patriarchy without telling me you support patriarchy.
Check out some reactions:
“Hard work” is not about working 60-70 hour work weeks, that’s absolutely terrible. I can understand why so many are gone, there’s only 168 hours a week and you sleep an average of 60 hours a week and there’s no remote work so you have to commute so your left with just under 40 hours for you

What planet do you live on where the photo on the right somehow makes Twitter more accessible than the left?

All those poor HB1 workers who had no choice but to stay or be forced out of the country have now had to sign up for long hours and extreme “hardcore” working conditions no one else sees Elon Musk exploiting vulnerable visa workers here?

Many misogynists in the comments and for what? You don’t even know anything about these women. You love to respond to conservative values. Just say you’d rather go back to the 50s and see women being just housewives, and go… 🙄

Women are more likely to quit the best job they’ve ever had as the ideological balance returns. Surprising.

In the meantime, the post of course went viral and amassed several likes and comments. It’s pertinent to note that the second photo was shared by Elon Musk himself a few days ago while attending the company’s “code review” meeting.
