I expect it all to work better with Musk in charge. He knows how to make scalable software and he knows about performant teams.

That he’s not going to realise these totally obvious first order consequences people are raising seems unlikely.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic.

Everything that is happening with Twitter proves Musk is yet another wealthy idiot who doenst know shit about shit, except how to blow his own horn. Musk is simlpy lucky that Twitter used to have such excellent engineers like this SRE so that the site isnt yet on fire.

Musk lead teams at the only company who can land commercial rockets and the first company to profit from making electric cars. To say he is a wealthy idiot says more about you than it does about Musk.

So Musk hired the right people. I mean he made some brilliant decisions over the years. Does that mean that everything he does is a guaranteed success? There are plenty examples of ultra successful people in history who were blinded by their own success and became a little bit unhinged over time..

At this point Musk is behaving just like a twelve year old’s idea of a mega billionaire. Hyperloop, flamethrowers, self driving cars now Twitter... It’s great that he’s having fun I don’t think there is much to it than that.
