Who knows if that rumor is true, but it would be another red flag with Elon's approach. I can understand clearing out the old leadership team on day 1, but how quickly could Musk possibly know that there is no one on this team that could provide value to Twitter with different management or in some other role? Shooting first and asking questions later is not a good approach to managing a billion-dollar company.
- ajmurmann 4y agoTypically a lot of investigations into products and teams already take place before close. This was a weird acquisition though, so who knows if that actually was possible beforehand.
- slg 4y agoYes, but there is a difference between "I don't think what this team is currently working on provides value to the company" and "I don't think this team or anyone on it can provide value to the company". That second viewpoint is much more definitive and should require more time and evidence to reach.
- szastamasta 4y agoFunny how we give advice on how to manage a billion dollar company to guy who owns 2 of these . I’m not sure how many do you own, but I unfortunately don’t have any.
- slg 4y agoThe idea that only people who have done a job can criticize a person doing that job is silly. We all can criticize the President for example without having led a country. Isn't that principle supposedly the underlying reason Musk bought Twitter?
- mikkergp 4y agoSince it looks like it was a prank and he didn't actually do this, it seems like good advice.
