I recommend reading Esther Crawford’s take on working at Twitter pre- and post-acquisition.
It is the first piece of writing which gave me deeper understanding outside of the duality of worship/judgment.

An excerpt:
> I learned a ton from watching Elon up close – the good, the bad and the ugly. His boldness, passion and storytelling is inspiring, but his lack of process and empathy is painful.
> Elon has an exceptional talent for tackling hard physics-based problems but products that facilitate human connection and communication require a different type of social-emotional intelligence.
- ethanbond 3y agoI read it and it wasn’t all that enlightening. It’s exactly what anyone 80% burned by any egomaniac would write, which was exactly what it looked like from the outside too. FWIW Esther has no way of knowing if he has any exceptional talents outside of cult-building.
