This is the single bizarrest and most literally inaccurate use of the phrase “single-handedly” I have ever seen.
What Tesla and SpaceX have done are enormous human undertakings. He did not single-handedly do it by any rational interpretation. The delusional self-confidence he used to get investors to pay for those undertakings is what's about to destroy Twitter.
Particularly on the eve of thousands losing their job and arguably having a hard time to find a new one in this market.
How is this not a mindless non sequitur. What the hell does trying to buy ICBMs have to do with “turning around twitter”.
Anecdotal, but I spend a lot of time on a lot of tech forums, and the vastly prevailing opinion among the folks there is "I wouldn't work at Twitter right now for any amount of money."
The man is a moron. His engineers probably would've developed it anyway, just elsewhere.
Past performance does indicate future success. Nothing about this twitter story, from waving due dilligence, to trying to pull of a signed deal, to treatnent of employees, indicates competent management
Right but that isn't the problem here, Twitter already solved that. What they haven't been able to do is make a short-form blog posting service that's profitable. Everything Musk has announced so far suggests he doesn't really understand how to change that.
what changes, if not these, would make Twitter profitable?
