I love how Elon Musk managed to Speedrun every other step of "private equity aquisition Hell" but saved the consultancy-driven rebrand for last... as a treat

@devindra @thelinuxEXP Twitter's parallels to most PE buyouts aren't touched on as much as they should be imo

1. Wild, outsized initial influx of capital
2. Wiping the C-suite with big golden parachutes for the board
3. Taken private to avoid obvious scrutiny over shareholder value
4. Erratic shedding of staff and product teams
5. No product specialists being brought in to replace them
6. Bringing in third-party consultancy due to high voluntary turnover of talent
7. Shitty rebrand
