Getting “The Social Dilemma” vibes from seeing a VC who helped Elon acquire and run Twitter last year now claiming that “social media is in chaos”.

This is breaking a hornets nest at a concert and then claiming the live music scene is in chaos.

@carnage4life I believe, very interestingly, also the person who was one of the people behind clubhouse, which went from overnight craze to being overrun by Twitter spaces - Pre-Elon Twitter just copied their product. Interesting that his product got cannibalized by one of his investments?

@carnage4life what was the intent of this article? Comparing social media to pre World War I Europe is a very large stretch. It feels like the arguments many of us made in college to feel smart, but then grew out of. However it seems that VCs are stuck there and never matured.
