Why Elon insists on actually running a company? He should hire competent people and stick to PR/bullshit thing. It works wonders in his other ventures, mostly. And no, competent doesn't mean Kimbal.
- waiseristy 4y agoHe frankly seems incapable of detaching himself from any project he’s applied his personal brand to. Cybertruck has suffered from the same treatment
- trillic 4y agoHire Oracle/Ibm to run the servers, grab some recently laid off Facebook moderators to do some moderation, and give it a quarter to figure out what the fuck to do.
- colechristensen 4y agoOh god, i know you’re serious but the ultimate in “enterprise” managing the ultimate in “overgrown disorganized startup” would be a ridiculous failure. It would take ten billion dollars and a decade to get something functional.
- kcplate 4y agoThis seems to me to be a byproduct of the “hurry up and close the deal”. May not have had replacement leadership but felt the need to take out the executive team.
- kumarvvr 4y agoIf I remember right, he did say recently that he will place a new leadership team at Twitter to focus on his other companies.
- threeseed 4y ago> He should hire competent people He did. Jason Calcanis and David Sacks will surely save the day.
- mhoad 4y agoI have to say it’s weirdly satisfying that the rest of the world can finally wake up to how incredibly shit these two are. Hope this follows them everywhere.
- thundergolfer 4y agoTwo of the dumbest people on tech Twitter. One of them, can’t remember which, wrote a ‘Capitalism is the best’ blog post that was something I’d expect my 13yr old self to have come up with. Just riddled with errors and motivated reasoning.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoAll these people are assuming there was no time but there's a huge difference between "try and keep the lights on until you have a team in place" and "burn the entire place down and blame there not being a team there to stop you".
- makeitdouble 4y agoHe seems to be aware, while not acting accordingly https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/16/23462668/elon-musk-trial-testimony-twitter-tesla-ceo-technoking https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/16/23462668/elon-musk-trial...
- dehrmann 4y agoHe can't. Competent people (mostly) don't want to work for him, especially after this fiasco.
- twelve40 4y agoso all the satellites are being launched, and the cars are being built exclusively by incompetent idiots?
- bushbaba 4y agoMusk hired people who wanted to change the world. His businesses at the time were the only place to push the envelope on space exploration to Mars and launching a commercial EV. Twitter on the other hand will never get such motivated workforce
- mrleinad 4y agoWith what money? He alienated all sponsors because anyone can successfully impersonate any brand in there now, and he's already spent >40b just to buy the damn thing.
