I feel like every dev/engineer in existence has put something into place without completely considering all of the things that will be impacted even by minor touches. Of course, none of them are stupid enough to insert them directly into production.

And he fired the guys that actually knew how Twitter worked due to them telling him that his ideas wouldn't work.

you just know someone tried to tell him this would happen, and he probably screamed and threw a tantrum at that person, and now that it's blown up in his face, he's probably screaming and throwing a tantrum at that person

If Twitter suffers massive failures, is there any way for him to profit off it, like some kind of insurance or bail out? He's dumb enough to both try to run Twitter into the ground and think that this shit is a good idea, so it's hard to say which.

The whole point of the CEO was to tank the heat on Elon when Elon decides to make more anti-trans, pro-Russia, pro-right wing horseshit posts, nothing more.

Elon wants to shittweet like an edgy 12 year old all day, but not deal with the consequences of it.

Boy, a rich trust fund asswipe who doesn't think they should have consequences? It's like spotting a unicorn!

Socialism doesn't guarantee meritocratic positioning any better.

Pissing away money is a feature of capitalism, not a bug. In theory (if Musk didn't build a cult) he'd be pissing away money faster than he could recoop it. That's not a problem.
Buying something and destroying it is... not really a problem. The OG owners got paid, he's just burning his own property to the ground. (Plus Saudi investors but let's not nitpick.)

I heard my new favorite go-to recently from either a Twitter topic or the memes topic:

"Elon Musk is a guy who makes electric cars. I don't know much about electric cars, so I assume the guy's a genius."
"Elon Musk is a guy who also makes rockets. I don't know much about rockets, so I assume the guy is a genius."
"Elon Musk now owns and operates Twitter. I actually know quite a bit about web design, and this guy is saying some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard, which is making me think twice about his cars and rockets."

It does increase the likelihood that someone who actually knows what they're talking about has a say in important decisions though.

Elon Musk has about the same level of competency as the OceanGate CEO. Only difference is that he owns a shitty social media app, not a submersible, so nobody died.

Were there, perhaps, benefits to others in the use of that property? When a newspaper owner decides to lay off its staff and stop publication, is that mainly an impact on him?
