Can we finally lay to rest the utter myth of "Elon Musk is a genius?" Thanks.

  Wow. The greatest LBO player of all time Carl Icahn said he would have done the Twitter Acquisition but did not want to have to compete with Musk, who was the obvious best man for the job.

  Tell us about your corporate acquisition experience and how you bring better insight into this process than Elon. What is your perspective on how Elon did this poorly to the extent that you would declare him an idiot?

    Who said "idiot?" I said "not a genius." There are gradations in-between.

      The question still stands on what your advice to Elon would be to do it better. I assume you have some if you have an opinion on why he wasn't making moves you'd describe as smart.
      • jrm4 4y ago
        Literally doing nothing would be smarter than the moves he's doing now. He's hemorraging devs, violating employment law and watching the stock price of his other stuff tank. And that's just things that I can 100% confirm as true. If we get into the rumor mill of him banning people and such. Sigh.

          Doing nothing would literally bankrupt Twitter. It's massively unprofitable.

            And now, it's massively unprofitable, hemorraging users, is more hated, etc.
