You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don't get in the #Titan ?

Don't get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

He's probably not really focused on Twitter but focused on using Twitter staff for getting X.com ready so they do a huge rebrand.

That does make sense, which haven’t they been running on a skeleton crew for months now? Also, what is up with the weird obsession with “X”?

Maybe he can't upgrade to Wayland.

Twitter went from like 7000 employees down to 1000. So skeleton crew for sure. There's also speculation that they didn't migrate all the data off Google cloud services so they lost a bunch of data as the contract ended June 30th.

As for the X thing no idea his obsession I'd probably guess he thinks he's like the modern day iron man or professor Xavier for the gifted with x men.

I'll give credit where credit is due he's really good at being able to raise capital but in terms of actual business execution he falls flat to me.

He's a man child that's why.
