It seemed that there was a lot of people here on HN that were rooting for Twitter's demise, but I personally don't understand the mentality where someone must lose for me to win. I read a lot of financial news and have noticed that Yahoo finance front page has been covered with articles predicting Twitter's failure, almost like they want it to fail.
Also, the number of articles about Elon's activity at Twitter will cause Tesla to collapse. I'm sure Elon has many teams of capable people at each company that does not require constant input from Elon. It's a bit unnerving to see the degree that media has taken this.
- theCrowing 4y agoMost of us were rooting for the demise of Twitter before Musk took over. Having Musk fuck it up as hard as he does now is just the cherry on top.
- Ekaros 4y agoHim losing billions makes it just so much better. As someone who really have never cared for his antics and the cult surrounding him.
- Dudelander 4y agoI think most people who want Twitter to fail mainly want the cult of personality surrounding him to go away. He's gotten billions of government money for his projects and managed to get at least one public rail project cancelled. IMO I don't think it would be too bad if he was made to look like a fool, just so politicians aren't so willing to fund his businesses anymore.
