Elon Musk fires a top Twitter engineer over his declining view count

His companies have succeeded despite him, because they have the right people at the helm leading operations (example: Shotwell at SpaceX).
Musk at Twitter gives you a glimpse as to why he was fired from PayPal 2 decades ago.
SpaceX is a different beast entirely and one might consider the contributions of Gwynne Shotwell and Thomas Mueller.
Musk has created a culture of fear. And he's not as charismatic as Jobs was. I don't see how this can possibly end well unless he changes himself quickly.
No, but he's obviously a very-stable-genius™.
That's going to go down as either one of the biggest blunders of the early 21st century, and if not, it will be a near miss.
He's never getting his money back. He's never getting his credibility back. He's never getting his supporters back.
He has passed the zenith of his life and all that is left is the long slow march to obscurity.
The market is full of idiots. Remember when TSLA did a 5x stock split and then hit the exact price from before the split, effectively increasing value by 5x for no discernible reason? That was about as rational as the value added by the hard fork to BCH (when anyone holding BTC instantly got the same value of BCH, which shortly became tradeable on Coinbase, during a time when IIRC some Coinbase employees were later charged with insider trading).
Anyway, the market will go up again, and it will probably go irrationally high. After all, that's what's always happened... ;) ... So, Twitter will benefit from this, pretty much regardless of their actual revenue - if anything, the $40bn Musk paid for it will serve as an anchor for the IPO, meaning it will be almost definitionally unlikely to go public for less than Musk paid for it, assuming Twitter can survive long enough to credibly go public.
That was likely Charlie Lee and LTC, not BCH.
It may not be all that slow.
If Musk says something, it's very likely that it's not true.
I've been in a similar situation. The whole company jumps every time this one Special customer says so. The whole company folds when the Special customer stops using the product after all the other customers have left because none of their concerns were ever addressed.
Says it all.
Curious if you could expand on this. I think a BP/schizophrenia diagnosis would be very hard to make, as most of the schizophrenia symptoms could be attributed to BP1. If you don’t mind sharing, is this how you’ve been diagnosed?
Only reason I ask is because I know someone with BP1 and I’ve wondered if they could be schizophrenic, but my research caused me to conclude the BP1 diagnosis explained the symptoms.
I can't remember where I got the bipolar/schizophrenia idea, but I read an account of someone who was diagnosed this way. If I can find it, I'll come back and post it here in a comment. It was interesting.
I don't know how else to answer your question, so I used ChatGPT AI to give me a general answer.
Can a person be bipolar and schizophrenic at the same time?
Yes, it is possible for a person to have both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. This co-occurrence is known as "schizoaffective disorder." People with schizoaffective disorder experience symptoms of both bipolar disorder (such as mood swings and manic or depressive episodes) and schizophrenia (such as hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking).
It's important to note that schizoaffective disorder is a separate diagnosis from both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and it can be challenging to diagnose because the symptoms can overlap. Accurate diagnosis is important because it can impact the treatment plan and prognosis.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of mood swings, psychosis, or other signs of mental illness, it is important to seek help from a mental health professional. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and quality of life.
> and it can be challenging to diagnose because the symptoms can overlap.
Yes, this part has me the most curious. Seems like BP1 and schizoaffective are very close, but reading more about schizoaffective, I am starting to think the diagnosis of BP1 could be off. This might be the key:
"Keep in mind that one of the primary criteria for a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder is the presence of delusions or hallucinations for two weeks in the absence of a mood disorder (such as depression or mania)."

Thanks for the help! The worst part about this is convincing the patient about the hallucinations. The doctors don't know about them because they aren't reported as symptoms by the patient, since they are believed to be real.
Bipolar mania on the other hand looks like, "hey the sun is going to burn out and we're all going to die anyway so I'm cashing out my retirement account to see what I can do with it in Las Vegas!"
Dealing with humans it’s bit more complicated than predictive machinery. Hardy this comes with cold hearted decisions for the profit gains.
It’s a great momentum to get more specialised support on dealerships with social/ human interaction, this will help.
It's really unfortunate to see so many people here in lockstep with the Musk is Tech Hitler media corps. I thought this place was different. I think I saw someone say Musk isn't as charismatic as Jobs was. Hilariously revealing. They're both difficult bosses in the extremis, but neither are Tech Hitler.
People are posting on locked accounts with zero followers and they have 59 "views" as soon as they post, whatever that means.
