I'm so tired of Musk...Can we please shoot him into the immense vacuum of space aboard one of his precious Teslas?
Only if Trump is in the frunk.
There's a lot of drama around him, and some because of his own stupidity and pot stirring, but maybe the world could do with more like him.
Though he may not be self-made in the sense of lifting himself out of poverty into success. He does work pretty damn hard to forward his companies and the goals he sets, so that's admirable.
Surely a big reason he gets so much flak is because he enjoys being in the public eye, unlike Bezos, for example.
Public figures like Musk draw an annoying and undeserved amout of attention, though. I mean there's so much else happening in the world more worthy of our time, but that doesn't generate ad-revenue now does it?
Ummm... The goals he sets are... Not good. Doesn't matter how hard you work if your hard work is destroying a company.
Yeah, I meant this more generally.
I've been with a very frugal start-up for many years and it's amazing what a small team can get done compared to larger companies.
I think the fact that Twitter is able to run with so much fewer staff probably points to how bloated they were.
I think Twitter's stock price was a huge bubble waiting to burst anyway.
Maybe things will turn around if we give X some time. I'm against platforms like what Musk is building with X, I don't like their stickiness and the fact that the walls between functions are blurred and data can consequently flow between them. They become monopolies; they begin to regulate and discriminate against their users however they see fit and ultimately leave you with little real choice.
