Many had thought Elon Musk was some sort of transcendental genius and even I thought he must be a pretty smart cookie, but when I heard he was spending $44 billion to buy a company as silly as Twitter I felt it might be time to reconsider my judgment. Could Mr. Musk really not find a better use for that $44 billion in Tesla or SpaceX? Alternatively, with that much money he could've started a new company that would be a world leader in the field of AI or Quantum Computing, but instead he bought Twitter so people could continue to send tweets about Taylor Swift and Donald Trump could get his account back. As if that wasn't bad enough he completely bungled the purchase, after agreeing to buy the piece of crap he tried to back out of the deal but it was too late; and as soon as he took control he fired more than half the employees, an even greater percentage among the engineering staff, and then belatedly realized the company would fall apart without some of them and try to hire them back, but with company morale at an all time low few agreed to come back to a toxic workplace and would prefer unemployment. He seems like he doesn't have a clue what he's doing and is just flailing around doing things at random and hoping that something works.
