The Musk hate is hilarious. Every action he takes, they say it’s over he’s finally lost it. Then his companies become even more successful

It’s sad how few people have the self awareness to realize they’re being played

Its also become politically correct to hate him, so his actions and success are practically irrelevant in that regard.

I think, systemically, he comes in contact with people who have some following of their own more often than average, so any extreme sentiment towards him gets easily and exponentially amplified.

At least that's what I think about why Twitter staff was ever so "important", because they are social media people by trade. Some people are heard more than others in the "uncritically repeating someone's sentiment" mode.

What has Musk done so far that indicates he will make Twitter be more successful?
