It takes a singular genius to run a company into the ground as efficiently as Musk seems to be capable of doing. Like between Twitter and Tesla it's pretty clear that my parrots—and possibly my chickens—could do a better job.
Maybe the flaw in this thinking is in the words "better job". That Musk bought twitter for all those billions with the intent to make it better. That he took on the duty and responsibility to bring "success". As a job. Work.
But maybe he just bought twitter as a plaything, a toy. Being rich enough to do so, and comparable to someone with modal income buying a high-powered jetski. A person a bit careless with money. And crashing the jetski, saying "Oh well.. I've had some great fun" :D
@hrefna I've been thinking about that, and I realized it's very familiar-feeling. like the weird tendency of Google projects to be either deprecated or not-yet-ready.
it's that some people can't maintain. the rush they get is disrupting, either building up something new or tearing something established down. maintaining something (successful or not) is boring to them, they cannot deal.
