I have a slightly nuanced take on this in that I simultaneously believe that Musk is basically culturally retarded and needs someone he can listen to by his side, but also that he fundamentally understands the value of twitter far better than the people he bought it from.
There are unsavoury things on Twitter, but the alternative is basically something like Instagram, Threads, or r/all, where people are basically being dosed with Soma every day.
At the moment it seems to filter for the extremes - the very smart, the very dumb, the very wise, the foolish.
I think there is real utility in that. Where else on the internet do you see bond traders chatting shit about each other just below people arguing if manchester is red or blue.
- akira2501 2y ago> is basically culturally retarded What does cultural aptitude even mean? > he fundamentally understands the value of twitter So what would having someone "he can listen to by his side" actually add?
- mhh__ 2y ago> What does cultural aptitude even mean? Guess... Compare musk and Thiel: Both basically autistic, however Thiel's jokes are funny, Musks's seem desperate, Thiel has interesting takes about old and new books, Musk has terrible takes about normie video games etc etc
