I doubt it was intentional, but nonetheless I do find it pretty funny how fast the pendulum swung on that one.

- amusedcyclist 4y agoThere are lots of obsessive Elon fans which has also created a set of obsessive Elon haters. I don't like him but I don't see how he'd do a much worse job of running twitter than the guys running it now
- pclmulqdq 4y agoElon Musk is very good at hiring motivated people who can figure out how to make things work. It's hard to imagine that skill going to waste at Twitter, whose management didn't seem to really know or care much about the platform or the business they were in.
- adventured 4y agoThere is an important caveat to that positive take: if Musk has the time to properly keep his eye on Twitter, so as to know which good people to hire. He's already dividing his time into a lot of pursuits.
- lttlrck 4y agoThis very topic is a vivid counter example to that claim
- pclmulqdq 4y agoTwitter hired good lawyers and listened to them - it's a very different skill than managing a company. The way he handled Twitter, I wouldn't put Parag Agrawal in charge of a supermarket.

- addicted 4y agoThe pendulum hasn’t swung at all on that. The people who were unhappy with Musk buying Twitter are still unhappy and have the same concerns. The only thing that changed is instead of him getting Twitter for the same price (but probably higher value, since he has spent months damaging it) months ago, he had to wait. In the meanwhile he made a bunch of humiliating statements, has suffered a humiliating defeat, and with the intervening damage sustained by the likes of Meta Twitter appears far less powerful today than it did then.
