Dude's gonna run Twitter into the ground because he's a dumbass.
All billionaires are dumbasses. When you're born into wealth, you can fix any problem you come across by throwing money at it, so your problem-solving skills never get developed, so when you're an adult you're a full-blown dumbass who makes lots of bad decisions.
"Well heck dude, how can he still be a billionaire if he fucks up everything he touches by being a dumbass?"
Listen. If you or I do a big, serious, thousands-of-dollars-scale fuckup, we'll learn from it the hard way because it can affect our lives for YEARS. With someone like Musk, that's just a Thursday morning. He keeps getting wealthier because first he hires people to think for him, and second he takes dumbass risks and sometimes gets lucky.
I fix machines that were once for public enjoyment and are now the hoarded expensive toys of the rich, I know these things.
Sometimes I go on a job for someone who genuinely did make some money from no money and cunning, and they're alright; they're the sort of guys who do the stuff they wouldn't ask their employees to do, and hats off to them. Or someone who bought a machine back when they were cheap.
But born-wealthy people? Dumbasses, all of them.
Being a dumbass doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, mind. Some of my best professional relationships are with self-described dumbasses. I think that's the difference. A rich dumbass who KNOWS they're a dumbass tends to be very aware of the role that luck played in their wealth, and they treat their money accordingly - and often knowledge of one's own dumbassery actually causes them to make better decisions!
MUSK THINKS HE'S CLEVER.
