When he said the CyberTruck could "briefly be used as a boat", a former Tesla engineer remarked "knowing how Musk operates, this is probably the first time the people working on the CyberTruck hear about this requirement". And frankly judging by how he runs Twitter, that's startlingly true. It explains why he announced Tesla almost had working FSD 7 years ago before they had even a single prototype (and before they've started even hiring serious people for the project), and it explains why this Twitter rebranding is so inept, because he literally decided to tell the company they're doing it the day they started it. Means zero prep. Zero logo design prep. Zero brand kit and linguistic prep (terms etc.). Zero logistical prep (app stores, domains, app updates, site updates). Zero legal prep (thousands of existing X trademarks including held by Microsoft and Meta). In a way I believe he did this so he has problems he can deal with. "Oh how do we call tweets now". That's an easy problem, compared. Bikeshedding. Because the truth is none of his larger vision has any chance of happening, stuck under mountains of legacy code, almost none of the people who understood it, debt, lawsuits and so on. He can't execute anything.
