VrimjI think it is interesting and says something about tech in general that even Elon understood he had to hire rocket scientists and car manufacturing engineers and neuroscientists for those projects but he doesn't appear to have hired a single expert in communication or social dynamics when taking over Twitter, the same appears to be true for every other newly founded social network where I have taken a look at the leadership.
There is a very specific sort of thing here that I don't have language for but I have noticed. People who work with things respect other people with expertise in how to work on things.
Often they do not see skills with people as real unless they are deeply abstracted and not really about people anymore but the things that make up people, eg neuroscience.
