Serious answer to your serious question. Improving Twitter would improve the world. If the people working there are as serious and dedicated as SpaceX employees, they are much more likely to succeed. Serious engineers and designers must be

It's remarkable how many people who've never run any kind of company think they know how to run a tech company better than someone who's run Tesla and SpaceX. In both those companies, people die if the software doesn't w

Then you're locking failed institutions into an even bigger monopoly. The problem is that they were already "too big to fail" as a result of regulatory capture, revolving doors between government and big banks and bailouts. J

Let them fail full stop. If there's any lesson from 2008, it's this. Do not bail out banks and their execs.

"Click here to agree to an ambitious workplace". Like SpaceX, only the motivated will agree. That's a requirement for turning Twitter into a SpaceX or Tesla scale success.

It's funny they unwittingly plugged FTX's game and didn't mention that he's been seen playing League of Legends.

He's still posting on Twitter as though this is going to blow over. I don't get it. Is there a chance nothing is going to happen? What kind of advice is he getting? "I’m meeting in-person with regulators and working with the

You might see the issue if you're familiar with the case of Scott Alexander or how hard they went after the CEOs of Coinbase and Kraken. Why did they get the hit piece treatment but SBF didn't, even now. Neither of them misused an

He was skeptical even though SBF wanted to give him money , not the other way around. And people Elon knew were pushing for SBF. Elon ended up ghosting him anyway. Look at the chat logs that were revealed in court. Michael Grimes [IBanker
