What is the new vision for twitter? Musk has ridiculed his customers, acted unpredictably, and fired people unceremoniously while joking about on Twitter.
To me, all of the reaction seems to be completely appropriate given his actions. This is why actions matter! This is why CEO’s get communications training, because in the absence of reading his mind, the world has to react to his behavior. Being a leader of a 45 billion dollar corporation is hard, this is why most CEO’s that do it don’t have two other part time jobs. Maybe it will turn out ok, but I don’t see how you can not see that his behavior warrants scrutiny and pause, and seemingly attribute it all to vague notions of political beliefs.
- partiallypro 4y agoDo you honestly think your first sentence has anything to do with public/media reaction? I mean honestly? Because the same reaction happened in April when none of this had occurred. There had been a turn against Musk before the Twitter acquisition was even a thought. I just find it interesting.
- mikkergp 4y agoI honestly do. He's done a really bad job of consistently explaining why he would be a good person to entrust twitter too. He can be great in certain interviews. I think here he does a pretty good job of staying professional and building his case: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33475005 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33475005 But in April he was like chief internet meme operator manipulating dogecoin markets and building a case for free speech absolutism. So yeah, I 100% honestly believe that the public and media's reaction is mostly rational.
