It feels like Elon is now 'task saturated'[0]. There are more things that he needs to do, than there is time/brain-power to do them in. The last few times I've posted here about this feeling in a person in the news, the person has quickly folded and the 'worst' has happened. Not that my track record means much.
All the 'cool kids' are now leaving twitter, it seems. Further attempts to prevent this will just make them 'cooler' in the eyes of the public. Elon's public persona is now leaning towards an insulted school principal doling out badly considered punishments. The public smells blood and is going to pile on him. He should take a break from the internet until the New Year, but won't.
I saw two good ones on this that kinda fit. He's like Elmer Fudd with a site full of Bugs Bunnies. He's a narcissist that bought an insult factory.
I'm afraid that the public needs only to decide which site it's going to next. Like with Digg, Twitter is relegated to being not much more than a domain name that doesn't 404.
[0] A SnR term I learned from Junger's The Perfect Storm about when the USCG rescue helicopter pilot had to ditch. The recovered black box recorded that the pilot did everything on his checklist, except open his door. He was task saturated and just didn't have the time/brain-power.
