things.


There are innovators and entrepreneurs who move quickly and break shit and that gets a lot of love these days but there are people who take a business and build it into something that grows indefinitely and is stable. Its the difference between Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg.

Twitter had a problem with not consistently making money. But it had great revenue and a large user base so the right person or people could have come along and improved the business.

I thought it could have been Elon Musk. Slashing the staff by 50% wasn't even the worst idea. but the execution has been shit.

And if he thinks that Twitters biggest problem is lack of free speech, then you really have to think he is not as smart as people have been touting him to be.

If dude had stayed the SpaceX and Tesla Guy, he would have gone down as one of the business greats. I think he now goes down as another rich dork even if he manages to right the business by hiring the right people.
