Seems pretty simple. Physics doesn’t care if you are an unlikeable person with politics that huge numbers find repellent. Anyone of any belief system can make a rocket fly if the math and manufacturing are right. Media on the other hand is a popularity contest and absolutely does care who you are.

Musk's unlikeability and weird politics very much aren't Twitter's only problems, though (in fact, the piece barely touches on them); it is also plagued by weird, hasty product decisions.
