I'm also skeptical of Jack's claim about founder led companies. When you're the exec handing things over you'd have to make some comment like that to show your trust is entirely behind the new person. I don't really buy it though.
Also I thought Evan Williams and Biz Stone were the Twitter founders? Maybe I'm forgetting the history.
He was a founder...ish.
From reading his Wikipedia, it seems like it was an x.com / PayPal situation. He joined their company to help them with the idea then when they spun Twitter out, he became CEO.
From digging in a bit deeper, the lineage of Twitter seems fascinating. It seems like it was the result of the companies of the co-founders putting together that created something even better than their own parts.
Seems like a bunch of people had a hand in creating it in various ways.
I think even the Musk superfans eyeroll whenever he gives a date for some new advancement. For example, didn't Musk say the test orbital launch for Starship was goign to be last July or something?
Absolutely. Musk's companies manage to get stuff done, but are any of them particularly "well run"?
Honest question, because it's eerie how you could swap Dorsey for Musk and the statements would still apply but seem much less true.
