Twitter is in a shit load of trouble and unlike Meta & Snap which are crashing like a shitcoin.. Elon bought Twitter at 2x-3x what its actually worth.
Unlike the past decade, where these companies had easy access to funny money during a tech bull market.. now we are entering a uuge recession.. Twitter (or any company for that matter) which doesn't go into wartime mode is gonna get rekt
Also, in wartime, it's actually even more important that a new CO didn't upset the delicate balance or change procedures, because you need to rely on your skills and drills during wartime even more! Changing things just makes it harder to do your job and during wartime that would be deadly.
Also, you don't know where or when I served, so don't make assumptions.
I'm mainly talking about the difference in strategy/posture during wartime vs peacetime.. Just look at whats happening in Ukraine rn, Russia changing commanders to go full scorched earth.
To save a company like Twitter, this is exactly the kind of thing u need to do. Private equity does this all the time.
Military metaphors are common in business for a reason. Modern business management inherited a lot of the military after WW2. To this day, you'll see people with Special Ops history consulting businesses (Echelon Front)
Whatever state Twitter was in before Musk entered with a white knight syndrome, it was in a better state than it is now.
> Elon bought Twitter at 2x-3x what its actually worth.
Well, that was his first mistake at Twitter before he even "owned" it.
still tho, that 2x-3x multiple is a huuge gap to close and the company is still far from getting out its troubles. Troubles which btw existed wayyy before Elon or the recessions.
You google Twitter financials and metrics over the past years, its been grossly mismanaged..
