Given his behavior and the results over the last ~month or however long he's owned Twitter, how can both of these possibly be true?

My prediction is that Elon will realize how badly he is fucking up things and change. I was listening to All-in-podcast and there was a really good comment that was made - "He[Elon] needs to just get back to landing rockets on barges" which I agree, moderating and micromanaging a massive social media platform doesn't feel like a good use of his time.

Edit: annnnd he reversed the whole thing and apologized: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604616863673208832

  • Wow, what an absolute moron. If this is how he runs his other companies, it’s amazing anyone stays for more than a month.
