I used to think Elon Musk was a smart entrepreneur or whatever, until two things happened: I bought a Tesla, which started to sow my first doubts about how well his execution is going, and then he bought Twitter and started taking direct control over software engineering activities inside it.
I happen to know a lot about software engineering. As a result, I now know he is completely incompetent. 🙃
@ariadne I don't know if his cost cutting will fail. Or if his changes in moderation policies won't have enough angry people flock to the service to offset healthy users and advertisers fleeing.
However, I will no longer encourage any of his ventures. I will no longer cheer at his advances in self driving cars or towards putting people on mars.
I wasn't informed enough before Twitter to know that his methods are inhumane and that he is a net negative for humanity. Now I know.
