Now is a good time for us all to chill, take inventory as the year draws to an end and uncertain economic conditions have us all a little on edge. Change happens, it's uncomfortable at first but it can be made to work for you too. Change isn't always bad. Can anyone look at Twitters performance as a public company and say that no changes were warranted? Twitters "mission" wasn't exactly being well executed either. Something was bound to happen eventually and this was a long time coming. Had it been some Generic Private Equity Company that took Twitter private nobody would even be talking about this at all. But since you-know-who lead the buyout a lot of people have their tails in a knot over it. Has anyone considered what a giant hornets nest Elon has kicked in all this? I personally feel sorry for the poor bastard myself and I bet he wishes he could go back in time and ctrl-z all this terrible idea. More or less he's put a big chunk of his lifes work on the line over a silly tweet about buying Twitter. You know this all started off as a silly tweet, that turned into a funny joke, that got serious and became a potentially career wrecking mistake with too much momentum to stop.

> More or less he's put a big chunk of his lifes work on the line over a silly tweet about buying Twitter. It's a forty-four billion dollar drunk ebay purchase. But it comes after previous occasions when he'd been told by the SEC to stop making stock-price-moving announcements on twitter. It's just astonishingly irresponsible of him to have got in this position in the first place.

The lesson here is that he is not exempt from the consequences of his statements. And good! Hopefully he learns a lesson. When someone has such a gigantic platform in which to influence the lives of so many people, he absolutely should be humble and thoughtful about what he says. If it takes a $44 billion dollar lesson to teach him that, then oh well.
