Great article.

"Musk thinks he bought a tech company, but he’s actually bought a community of users, and that's where its value lies..."

So says Prof Paul Bernal - Professor of Information Technology Law at the University of East Anglia School of Law.

Why Elon Musk – the Chief Twit – is in trouble

Musk thinks he bought a tech company, but he’s actually bought a community of users, and that's where its value lies.

@mikegalsworthy ... a good read but I kinda think it conveniently skirts around the emerging reality that Musk is beholden to financial backers - he didn't buy Twitter with loose pocket change - and these backers (investors) will be calling the shots going forward. That his inflated ego gets in the way is the defining issue (granted, a point made in the article) 👍
