Your sarcastic implication being that being good at managing car and space companies make him good at managing a social media company? Not only that, good enough to be better at it than his predecessor? Not only that, he's better at it within days of arriving?

Occam's razor says he's a big impulsive dummy.

Oh wow running a social media company is just soooo hard how can he possibly figure it out? It must require some super human level of insight /s

To be fair, Jack Dorsey rolled over his ownership into the new structure. There are few people who know twitter, it’s problems, and potential than him.

Optimizing a factory is indeed quite a lot like optimizing cloud infrastructure. Different domains but there is a lot of overlapping skill set and having developed that from zero scaling Tesla is exactly the experience that would make an executive good at reducing costs and bringing Twitter to profitability.

Building cars is the place where modern efficiency practices were developed. (Much of it started in post war Japan with American auto industry help, the fusion of cultures developed something quite useful)

Is there some kind of scam coin associated with the twitter deal?

I am assuming twitcoin is coming and I will buy in

Doge?

Is there any connection beyond Musk hyped it a year or two ago?

he's been hyping it non stop, including taking doge for payments with the perfume he launched last month https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Aelonmusk%20doge&src=type...

People are treating Musk pronouncements like they did Trumps. Taking extremely literally even when it's obvious he's pulling your leg.

By that logic Musk is an incredible surgeon just because he is rich.
