Utterly amazed that my main research and personal interests are colliding all at once in this very public, very messy, very entertaining meltdown of Twitter

- Money, law, and power
- Corporate governance
- Business regulation
- Wasting time on social media

@jentaub I finally bought the audiobook version of Big Dirty Money. I’m not sure what took me so long.

@jentaub I'm currently floating with 2 theories today:

1. Musk is maneuvering Twitter into bankruptcy to drive traffic to Truth Social. Saudi's were a big part of the Twitter financing, and Saudi's and Trump have a well documented history

2. Musk is driving Twitter into bankruptcy to leave a void for BlueSky to fill. Musk is working with Jack, and BlueSky better fits his vision. Retrofitting Twitter into what Musk wants probably isn't possible. Destroy and rebuild.
🤔

@jentaub I’m convinced he’s burning it all on purpose. He’s pissing people off & trolling on purpose. This is kind of reminding me of The Thomas Crowne Affair where he wrecks the super yacht “because he could”.

@CBreeze27 @jentaub Awfully expensive thing and it makes him look so ridiculous, but I’m sure he’s like us all to think it’s intentional

@jentaub Could his investors can stage an intervention? Could they force him to get some competent leadership?

@jentaub I’m with you, but being the husband of a Tweep fired last week, this has been an incredibly stressful year.

@Fueco @jentaub I’m sorry about your wife, I hope she finds a better workplace soon.

@jentaub

Well it's certainly messy

I reckon there is enough already for a case study to be used by every MBA course in the world!
