I really dislike Musk - but it does seem like sometimes - he has a really strong vision.
Tesla and SpaceX and StarLink are really impressive from a "had a vision for something on a broadly positive world-changing scale, successfully executed it" perspective.
With Twitter, I'm not sure he actually has a vision.
The best realistic pro-Musk argument you can make is that he can be a real ass, but he's an ass whose companies tend to do amazing things. With Twitter, the best I can come up with is that he had a personal grudge against the platform, and the means to take pattiness to unheard of scales.

- hef19898 3y agoWait until he sues for the founder title.
- cwkoss 3y agoYeah, I suspect he's going to start calling himself "the creator/founder of X" soon
- klyrs 3y agoThat's technically accurate, isn't it? Twitter is the pea under a stack of shells named X, each founded by Musk. The accuracy of that title only loses specificity when he renames Twitter to X.

- vntok 3y agoWell, he is the cofounder of X(.com). It just took a few decades to fully execute his vision.
