Elon Musk was always a visionary jerk, bad boss at SpaceX, Tesla. But it won't work at Twitter.

Elon Musk has used the same playbook at all of his companies from Tesla to SpaceX. Sadly for him, his model will cause Twitter to go down in flames.

@kairyssdal This take is 💯 correct
@kairyssdal 🎯 "Think about it a bit and the idea that a luxury sports car can save us from global warming or that the answer for the Earth's toxification is to move everyone to Mars falls apart, but that isn't the point. The goal of all this mythmaking is to turn investors, employees, and customers into evangelists."
@kairyssdal Good analysis. And perhaps he should be forced to liquidate real estate and other holding rather than sell Tesla shares to pay for his blunder.
@kairyssdal All good journalists need to leave Twitter immediately. After what’s happened to Taylor Lorenz, all we are doing is propping up a right wing propaganda outlet with no desire for fairness or truth. No journalist or media organization should be trying to use his platform in my opinion.
@kairyssdal Nah, sorry, columnist Lopez’s playbook is just as stale and I don’t waste time with her columns.
@kairyssdal I think there are some parallels here between Twitter and the Trump Taj Mahal debacle. Both were overpriced purchases that ended up destroying the buyer's public reputation. Yet to be seen if Twitter will lead to bankruptcy...

@kairyssdal I've been saying this forever. Even a genius visionary (which he's not) can't be an insufferable jerk all the time and continue to be successful.
