It's just people having different interests and expectations looking from different angles. He is is right though, most people don't have the experience of being in the shoes of a company CEO and are trying to analyse Musk actions within a mental model of a company created from the perspective of an employee.
What's funny though, when I clicked that link Twitter failed to display the tweet content, giving me an error message about the tweet not available or something. It worked after a refresh.
I don't remember this happening before.
- pfisch 4y agoThis has been happening to me a lot since Elon bought twitter. Not sure what has changed specifically. I guess they shut down a bunch of their servers to save money before everyone quit?
- MaxMatti 4y agoHappened lots of times to me in the last year, perhaps the issues that were present in my region are now also present in yours.
- kaba0 4y agoI mean, a dumb kid could have done a better job than Musk here, just shut the fk up and let it go as it did before. Maybe if they would be slightly smarter they could ask some smart people what are they thinking, what would be a great improvement.
- mrtksn 4y agoSee, paying $44B for a company that doesn't make any profit and doesn't grow or doesn't create some kind of technology or platform that might be very valuable some day prohibits you from just letting it be. Even for the richest person on the planet, that's a very significant amount of money and that's before the loan with the $1B yearly interest he took for the purchase. That means, either He makes Twitter profitable or Twitter shuts down in a few years(He might prolong it by burning from his personal wealth) without anything to show for the money. As an owner and CEO, he can't afford to let Twitter operate as if it is business as usual.
- kaba0 4y agoI’m fairly sure he was just dumb enough to write that contract in a way that essentially forced himself into buying it at such a high price.
