   I can't honestly understand how so many good people stayed to work there. Doesn't it of necessity require some sort of self-delusion? I suppose we all delude ourselves in our own ways, I'm certainly not immune.

     @Madhur @chancerydaily I started listening to a podcast with Yoel, and he talked about how he made that decision. It was really interesting. Basically he gave advice to his team and followed it himself: write down your red lines, so you know not to cross them. Then stay for as long as the work feels meaningful and you’re not compromising your ideals.

     Or, yes, visas and health insurance. I have no judgment for trapped people.

     @chancerydaily depends.. If you feel Twitter is/was a force for good .. Then no reason it can't be again.

     Just need some passionate people. ..

     When the clouds clear who knows what we will see.

     Maybe pure profit motivates even musk to do the right thing.

     Being decent is also profitable..one of the quirks of pure capitalism

     @Madhur that makes sense, it's just that it seems like a slow walk that quickly leads to a bad place

     @chancerydaily it's complicated.

     Some obvious: visas, too much unvested stocks, bad market, maybe you like the new management who knows

     Also maybe you just bother about stuff at top. A job is simply to give you money to pursue your passion or give a good life to family

     But also after a while you start feeling strong ownership. It's like I won't leave, you make me leave if you want to.

     When you have spent years building and creating something... You can't just walk away easy.

     @chancerydaily @Madhur @yoyoel It struck me as a really wonderful lesson that could be applied over and over in life. If you find yourself approaching a potentially thorny situation, put up your guidelines in advance before you start getting used to anything.

     @whetstone @Madhur definitely same, I'm not trying to judge, I just know from personal experience in big law that it's so easy to blur those lines when you are sitting on that side of the desk. such brilliant advice from @yoyoel, which is entirely unsurprising.
