Willingness to consider his new ideas. Not your new ideas. He's the idea man, your job is to implement it. And if you tell him why the idea may not work as intended, you're fired.
- scarab92 4y agoThis is silly. Companies like Tesla and SpaceX don't succeed without a willingness to consider new ideas. They clearly aren't the result of one man's ideas alone.
- yencabulator 4y agoTesla and SpaceX had very hard problems to solve. What new hard problem is Twitter solving, at this stage of its life?
- dannyw 4y agoTesla has implemented numerous ideas from their customers' tweets.
- yongjik 4y agoWell, come to think of it, if you want your ideas to be implemented in Twitter, tweeting publicly at Elon Musk (and staying the hell away from Twitter HQ) seems like the way to go. Plus, no danger of being fired.
