No idea how people are still buying and riding in this guy's cars after seeing how badly he runs a website.
Badly is a vast understatement. There isn't a word that describes blowing 44 billion. Maybe 1 Musk can be a new unit of idiocy.
“Damn it, Jim! You just lost the company 100.000 dollars!”
“How big of a failure are we talking about here?”
“It’s about a 0.00000227272 Musk! You’re fired!”
What does that convert to Shrute Bucks?
"He really Musked it this time".
I'm not trying to protect him he is an idiot. However he is trying to find monetization and profitability other than filling the site with ads. It is really hard in 2023. He is going to drive twitter into the ground but it is not going to be because of his monetization or staffing decisions but because of his stupid i-know-it-all attitude.
What's his strategy? Leroy Jenkins?
to be honest, its kind of a great time for future social app start-up founders to use his expensive experimentation as learning observations.
