On November 9, mark zuckerberg He opened up to his collaborators in a video in which he assumed, he said, the responsibility of having to fire them, regretting that this incident was a hard time and that he was sorry for those affected.
“I want to take responsibility for these decisions and how we got here (…) I know that this is hard for everyone, and I am especially sorry for those affected,” he explained at the time.
Despite his confession and regret, the scenario for billionaires who own a social network hasn’t changed much.

In the future, to build innovative Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely tough. This will mean working many hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.
Twitter will also be much more engineering oriented. Product design and management will still be very important and report to me, but those who write great code will make up the majority of our team and have the most influence.
At its core, Twitter is a server and software company, so I think this makes sense.
