On the closing of the Elon Musk Twitter thread

[DeadTreasSecretaries]

I was also thinking of this thread, although I guess you could argue that it was more tangential.

How does someone with no business acumen get to be the richest person in the world?

The collapse of Twitter will be a classic case study for MBA students someday. How did a guy who doesn’t understand where Twitter’s value is, gutted the company, and destroyed its brand and integrity get to be so wealthy? He didn’t start Tesla, he bought in when it was young. I’m not sure what his history was with PayPal, and I’m not sure where SpaceX will go. But how could someone who fucked up Twitter so seriously get anything else done?
