Was The Washington Post the tipping point where Amazon started to collapse?
I think we're approaching a point in the lifespan of Tesla where is can stand on its own merit and no longer requires Musk to continue making a ridiculous amount of money. However, Musk is integral to the continued innovation and success, the same as Steve Jobs was to Apple. Under Tim Cook, Apple continued to thrive, albeit in a different way.
Regardless, no way will Musk run Twitter on a day-to-day basis, he'll remove the board, replace the CEO with someone he trusts, likely get Jack involved again, and a lot of developers will leave, leaving the company in a better position financially. Musk will likely just guide functionality and policy decisions from afar.

- chii 5y agoyour one anecdotal situation is in no way indicative of amazon's business. They are much bigger today than it was before!
- stupidcar 5y agoI hate to tell you, but that momentous setback has not yet caused Amazon to collapse.
- f38zf5vdt 5y agoYes, of course. But that's when Amazon died for me, as a product.

- stupidcar 5y agoWhich is not an answer to the question “Was The Washington Post the tipping point where Amazon started to collapse?”, which you were responding to. I don’t eat at McDonalds, but that doesn’t make me think they’re going to collapse. In fact they’re likely successful for precisely for the reasons I don’t eat there.
