Oh please. Everything is boulevard now and people have an opinion on everything. So what, let him do rebranding the easy way. Who cares about the handbook way. It is not microsoft who cares about backwards compatibility. It is just web.

Idk. Probably the people who remain at Twitter, and to a certain extent, the investing institutions that were courted to help fund the acquisition.

Of course, they probably hedged, so they don't care as much, but still.

This is a case study in how concentration of capital in the hands of one person can go terribly wrong for the purposes of resource allocation.

Isn't Twitter valuation down like 60% from that purchase price? That's a tough hedge.
