So you know what they do? Are you Twitter management? Or just the run of the mill know it all?

- It took them about two years to replicate Clubhouse, which was built by about 4 engineers in far less time

- They killed Vines, and then proceeded to lose on short videos to TikTok a couple years later with no response

- Their Substack competitor is a joke that nobody uses, and also took years to produce

This is not an organization which ships products! You don't have to be a Harvard MBA to evaluate the output of this organization. The ratio of employees to product development is not in line with any other major engineering organization.

The Twitter management receiving a $40M payout if terminated for a poor job? Aka, Parag Agrawal.

TBH - he did a pretty good job. Stock was at $45 when he became CEO and it is now effectively valued at $54.20, while the NASDAQ is down over 15% in that time period.

It was also at $70 when Dorsey left around last October and down to $30 when Elon started buying shares this March. That is a great job?
