Of course the work has nothing to do with Elon. However, it does seem like he lit a fire under them to get it done.

- anonymousab 5y agoIn what way does it seem like he had anything to do with this at all?
- hunterb123 5y agoNothing, it's just funny they decide to announce it directly after his poll. Maybe they rushed to make it clear he didn't have anything to do with it? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Neither way matters.
- saagarjha 5y agoHe didn’t.
- riffic 5y agoah, the great man theory gets applied to a gigantic, globally scaled and insanely complicated set of software services.
- hunterb123 5y ago> insanely complicated Twitter? Adding an edit button is not exactly rocket science. Meanwhile at SpaceX... edit: I liked your subtle edit below from "paid board seat" to "(ridiculously expensive) board seat". Strange to make it a negative to invest in a company you want to change, like other board members are allowed to invest for their board seats, but Elon isn't. If Twitter does good it will be lucrative, not expensive!
- riffic 5y agoMy point is to poke fun at the implication that any improvements made are solely the result of one investor who now has their (ridiculously expensive) board seat.
