Twitter’s ongoing cruel treatment of software engineers

I think we all invested in him as he's nerdy and chasing moonshots. I bought TSLA stock at IPO and held through all the fail years. Musk enjoys unparalleled fandome and respect in many circles.

But of course, Elon thinks it's all him. He's a genius, a savior and nothing can come between his view of reality. Imo, Elon is past his expiry date. Time for capitalism to fix him

I think it would be fair to say he's able to see a bet that's worth calling early, and building hype for it.

Those two together means that the engineers who are similarly early, want to come work for you. In a world with no electric car market, if that's what you really want to work on, Tesla is a beacon to you.

It's served him well in several industries now, but I really don't see how that can apply to this new mission of trying to make something of a relevant-but-kinda-failing social network.
