Elon makes a lot of dumb mistakes, like his tunnel under LA and his demo
version in Las Vegas. His hyperloop LA to SF was dumb too although he
passed it off to someone else. His idea of colonizing Mars is dumb too
as well as what he's proposed for getting people there.

I think he is probably a genius, but everybody has blind spots, and
anyone is capable of making dumb mistakes. This looks like a colossal
failure to me.
By the way, if there is a bright spot to inviting Trump back, it's
that it seriously compromises the future of Truth Social. And, he's
under contract with Truth Social to not use any other platforms. Not
that something as silly as a legally binding contract would stop Trump
from tweeting, but it would give his lawyers yet another expensive
project.

Musk has a BS degree from U-Penn (as I recall) which means he is
probably smarter than most. However, all of his corporate
successes have been built by others, from Paypal, SpaceX, Tesla
etc. The engineering of these were done my other people, and Musk
just had the money to become majority shareholder. With respect to
Twitter, I somewhat suspect he is intentionally demolishing the
company.

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.
