He's so bad at running Twitter I'm starting to think it's his goal to ruin the brand. Don't know what for but surely he can't be this dumb?
Look, if Elon was trying to ruin Twitter, it would be flourishing right now.
His backers maybe wanted to destroy the brand and the service, and they chose the right guy for the job if so, but the only thing Elon does is seek praise and attention.
Not quite related to the conversation, but I think it would be funny if a CEO tried to run a business into the ground but ended up being the most successful and beloved CEO in the company's history.
"I know, if I enact a 4 day workweek, nobody will have time to get anything done"
"Okay so that didn't work... Maybe if I increase staffing, give everyone a raise, the overhead will eat into the company profits and nobody will want to invest!"
"Um... I'll have the dev team drag their heels on product release! Nobody will want to buy our product if we release a month late. Heck, maybe if we wait until the devs say it's ready we won't release anything at all! This plan is sure to work!"
That certainly would be springtime for them.
This person gets the reference!
“If I give everyone unlimited sick days, then they’ll never show up to work!”
