When Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, he clearly didn’t know that the key assets he was buying lay in Twitter’s 7,500 workers’ heads. Now he’s paying the price. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/musks-humongous-mistake#details

@rbreich Even more ridiculous when you know he didn't have 44 billion.....even selling his tesla stock twice over.
So that means his benefactors wanted him to make something good out of it....and he's in deep trouble.....or they paid him to ruin it......which may put us in deep trouble.

@AlexBrangwin @rbreich I think the destruction of twitter was the goal. $44bn is nothing to those people if they get to destroy democratic communication.

@InorganicFella @rbreich Wonder how they billed it to musk.
His priority is himself & his pet projects...wouldn't care if the world collapsed tomorrow as long as one of his brands got all the goodness.

@AlexBrangwin @rbreich I think for him it is as simple as he gets the last laugh. He gets to show everyone who is boss now.
