Except the price is up for all charging stations and all new Teslas work with the CCS standard. Adapters coming soon. So no it’s not all a conspiracy to price gouge people. Regardless most people charge at home for significantly less and st

No matter how you do it, avoiding a hard crash is the point. Don’t throw away the users work because some feature threw an uncaught null exception.

Not crashing on null is part of what led to the remarkable stability of iPhone apps vs Android. Same with javascript apps. Can you imagine how painful the web would be if the entire page 'crashed/disappeared' every time an u

Because it’s easier/faster to go from a 43B to 400B valuation than from zero to 400B valuation.

Sink? Twitter is ripe for growth. He’s going to 10x his investment and make the last 10 years of Twitter look like Apple’s slow decline in the 90s.

It’s almost too easy for Elon to improve Twitter. The list of problems and features is a mile long. Twitter has done nothing but stagnate the last 10 years.

My hot take is that he doesn’t much care for politicians of any party.

blows my mind people think he paid 43B to block a few people.

Raising half a billion dollars is a massive vote of confidence from investors who have poured through the projections in fine detail.

I’m guessing like many users of twitter he’s pissed about how much it sucks and never seems to improve. The difference with Elon is that’s he’s actually in a position to do something about it.

He probably got enough large institutional investors backing him that he had virtual control of the company.

There will be many changes no doubt. Elon is great at cutting out the fat and iterating a product relentlessly.

If they have stock options then leaving might be a bad idea if Musk increases the value of the company significantly with his changes.

Overpaid? There’s a good chance he can 10x Twitters value. He could make the previous 10 year business model look embarrassing. There is so much low hanging fruit out there to improve. The management/board of Twitter has been a train w

He’s going to 10x that 43B into 400B and use it for electric cars, solar panels and going to Mars. Twitter has been 10 years of wasted potential that is about to be unlocked.

It’s going to get way way better. Twitter is so bad right now it’s almost too easy to figure out what needs to be fixed.

You realize you admitted here to giving him 5%. Many (most) people who own percentages of a company do nothing. They gave money or services at a point in time for a percentage and that’s that. No additional work required. No backsies. Treat
