Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

He bought Twitter, that was likely a vanity thing, but he also elected the president of his choice through it, só not that bad. And if he were to buy Comcast you can be sure he would fire even more people and work from home would be a thing of the past.

@bj Elon Musk doesn't buy garbage. He's gonna selll cellular to Charter instead and expand on his own.

@at we can only hope it's Starlink...

He only kept comcast for as long as he has bc it was built by his dad. Hes going to seep the company. It was his dad’s passion not his. This whole “become a technology company” sh-t ain’t happening. they’ll set up the business to be acquired by private equity or split up and sold.

@ap yep it's sad, though I feel more likely to be bought out by domestic rather than international operator like Reliance.

Would be funny if we get bought out by Starlink. I bet a lot of folks are polishing their resume, networking etc for when this sinking ship eventually capsizes.

@af probably cash in on one last fat payday after being acquired so they can live their lives on some island happily ever after.
On a serious note, I don’t see many options left for the connectivity business to survive in its current form on its own, they got good assets and most likely to merge or get acquired by a mobile or satellite provider.
I have a theory that maybe they get bought out by an oversees company operating mobile/hardline service maybe Reliance India? Or maybe a European provider?

It’s one thing to miss the impending death of cable despite owning the pipes that carried data for Netflix, it’s another thing entirely to mess up the pipes and losing out to fibre, fixed wireless and now satellite.

Wonder what they will plan post split!

@OP you'd be surprised how leadership decisions are based on revenge.

To be fair, he did work his way up from son of founder

@OP Brian collects yachts. At this pace he may have to liquidate some assets and sell one or two.
