Here's what Elon Musk fails to understand:

Much of a corporations' value lies in their workers — their knowledge, skills, and ideas.

When he fired half of Twitter’s workforce and drove off even more, he wasn't “cutting costs.”

He was actively destroying what he bought.

@rbreich If he actively wanted to destroy Twitter, what exactly would he be doing differently? Fire most of the employees, alienate advertisers who give you 90% of your revenue, reactivate habitual violators of your TOS which further alienates advertisers, destroy the authentication system to enable cheap imitations... what else?
@charvaka @rbreich if he only wanted to destroy Twitter, why would he also establish himself as a narcissistic promoter of hate speech, toxic lies, and authoritarianism? He could pull the plug on Twitter with much less damage to his reputation, his other companies, and his bottom line. These are the actions of a pathetic man-child who has been stage-managed by his purchased businesses for years but has finally bought one that didn’t know that was part the mission.
@someMAHoo @rbreich Makes sense!
