I don't get the dude, at all. He's weird, and impulsive. And makes mistakes that I would never make, and yet he leads teams that build things that other teams led by other brilliant people failed to build before.
I will never understand it.
I just know that in my past-life working with Air Force space command they all laughed at him when he first said he was going to have vertically landing rockets with SpaceX. The execs at GM who cancelled the EV1 all laughed at him with Tesla. Everyone on here was positive that Twitter would crash under its own weight when he nuked 80% of the staff.
I've been a daily user of Twitter since 2008.
It's glitchy from time to time, and I notice lags on my notifications. And yet it also hosts video, has a bunch of new features that I mostly like, and the "Spaces" functionality is actually pretty damned good after being total garbage when it first launched. From a feature standpoint, it's vastly better than it was before he massively overpaid for it. And yeah, there are nazis on there that weren't there before. I almost never see them, but when I do, I mute them.
So basically, it's like how the internet had always been. The nazis suck, but they're a cost I pay to not have posts like "The bat-borne coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan might have something to do with the bat-borne coronavirus lab in Wuhan" get censored.
