Yes, Musk should certainly stop making such chaotic decisions.
Short term, the professional attitude to have is to either continue giving your best while observing the situation, or leave.
It is never alright to, instead, work to sabotage harmony within the company, and it surprises me when people don't seem to understand something so basic.
He has every right, within the confines of the law, to choose how the company is run.
However, I do presume that most employees do not take issue with Musk's leadership, much unlike the drama we see in social media; Its nature does in fact tend to make everything into drama, even where there's none to be found.
Really? I can't imagine working in a shop where a new boss comes in, makes such a public ruckus about everything, practically destroys everything, fires the vast majority of my colleagues, and then acts like a jerk about the whole thing...
What kind of workplaces have you experienced that lead you to believe such conduct is something that "most employees" would not take issue with?
And because of that he shouldn’t be criticized?
> How can I make this more clear?
Let me see if I hear you correctly, and then you can try to clarify. You're saying that Elon paid billions of dollars to buy Twitter so he wouldn't be criticized. Do I have that right? I think it might clarify things if you told me how you see that as an effective strategy. He may be able to prevent people from criticizing him on Twitter, but I think off of Twitter, people are going to continue to criticize him, so it seems pretty ineffective.
Also, can you tell me where you are getting the impression this was his goal?
Elon Musk doesn't own Twitter. Twitter owns him.
That's a rather fundamental difference.
> He has every right, within the confines of the law, to choose how the company is run.
And the employees have every right, within the law, to question how the company is run, and the factual premises of decisions. And, sure, when he's broken internal comms he is free to shoot the messenger when disputes occur in public as a result, but that doesn't fix issues and it just makes it less likely the truth will reach him through the culture of fear he has created.
He can and has the right to stick his fingers in his ears and crash Twitter into the ground, sure.
Can you tell me more about how you approach technical disagreements?
It's an interesting strategy so far, treating people like dirt and spooking the advertisers with his chaotic decisions, the net effect adds up to damaging Twitter's biggest source of cash — advertisment deals.
In another version of our timeline, Musk took the reigns and kept things running relatively smoothly while digging deep to actually understand the system and form a coherent strategy before enacting wide-scale platform changes. He's missed an enormous opportunity lead through an inspiring vision.
In our timeline, we have an immature fool making a very public mess. It's undeniably entertaining and stranger than fiction. But I feel terrible for the employees, real living breathing human beings, suffering at The Hand of His Royal Majesty.
I also do not have a Twitter account, nor held TWTR shares at any point in time.
