EU and US has already told Musk that his content moderation, trust/safety, compliance teams are woefully inadequate and would need to be significantly increased to comply with existing decrees and regulations.
Also whilst some employees may find it fun and others on H1B have no choice but working 80+ hours is not sustainable.
So before making conclusions about whether Twitter is some innovative new approach to headcount I would give it a little more time.
Since when does the US have regulations about content moderation?
> significantly increased to comply with existing decrees and regulations.
What decrees and regulations? If the US wanted stuff to be illegal, make it illegal. You seem to be implying that Twitter should be a substitute government.
Twitter has an agreement with the FTC around their data security practices. EU has GDPR now and DSA in 2024.
And EU member states eg. Germany have their own rules for what content is allowed or not.
You can argue whether the laws are appropriate or not but Twitter does have to comply with them or stop making their product available in those jurisdictions.
Not to mention, everything works smoothly (as per design) during a _code freeze_. Luckily Twitter has few competitors, and also the ones that remain also have code freeze during this time.
