For all the people who say Elon is out of his depth, remember all the people who said he was out of his depths when making a car company, or trying to go to space. Many fortunes have been lost betting against him. Will he succeed? I have no idea, but I would not bet against him in the long run.
Twitter is a much different category where you “only” have to manage people, there is no one stopping his narcissistic personality from doing harm and here is the result. Why do you give him the benefit of doubt? It could have easily been a CEO-swap without any worry from the outside. But he posted controversial shit instantly, made up a ridiculously stupid paid-verification which removed the trust from accounts, fired plenty of its talent base wrongfully! having to rehire many of them at presumably insane costs, while also don’t forget about severance. He is just terribly incompetent at his job, if that is anything more than being an ATM machine.
I'm pretty sure Elon put more thought into that than his buy twitter impulse.
Note that the price was $50.00 + 420¢ ... and a poll.
He was memeing and gets side eyes from the SEC when he starts talking about stock prices.
He recently tweeted "did it 4 da lulz" then deleted it
What even he is doing with Twitter at a time when Volkswagen and the rest of the auto industry is easting Tesla's lunch. Most CEO's are practically invisible, busy managing their company, this man has multiple companies and yet he keeps posting meme pictures all day long.
Tesla and SpaceX are handling the biggest problems of our age. So why is elon wasting his time running this chatter- factory
I am pretty sure all our armchair speculations are pretty pointless and we’ll have to see how it’ll play out over the next months/years
8 dollars won’t save Twitter, and advertisers are pulling out en mass and they won’t come back because it is pretty worthless to pay for ads if they are indistinguishable from the funny joke accounts’ content.
And I know that was just discontinued, but I guess it’s too late.
Much of what Musk has gotten himself into with Twitter are in the realm of social problems.
For all his positive qualities, he strikes me as having low emotional intelligence. We’ll see what happens.
Queens define the hive.
