The simple fact is that Elon's a smart and ballsy businessman, and most of us aren't. People will shout "agile" from the rooftops, but when it comes to actual change, people are (as they've always been) uncomfortable with it. In the case of running a business it comes down to Profit = Revenue - Expenses. The purchase of Twitter brought in and will continue to bring in change that aligns with this formula. People can be upset that a bunch of people got fired, or that new changes have happened, but as they say, it's not personal, it's just business.

Musk isn't god; not everything works out nor is it wise to defer to someone in that way. > In the case of running a business it comes down to Profit = Revenue - Expenses. The purchase of Twitter brought in and will continue to bring in change that aligns with this formula. Do you think Musk bought Twitter in order to make money? By that standard, it's been a horrible failure. The prediction that it will change is groundless speculation.

  > Musk isn't god; not everything works out nor is it wise to defer to someone in that way. I never said he is or that everything he does is guaranteed to work. > Do you think Musk bought Twitter in order to make money? I think he bought it to bring an idea to life, and that in order to do that it needs to have a viable business model behind it. And it already has and is changing. I don't think that's a controversial statement...
