It's the details where we disagree. Your perspective is that Musk might fail trying to make a difference. I see someone whose unparalleled hubris forced him to take on an unnecessary debt. He didn't choose to buy twitter, he was legally forced to buy twitter after trying to back out.
You’re 100% correct. I know he didn’t want to buy Twitter but was forced to honor his contract. His ego definitely got the best of him. Every decision he’s made since has been odd, even more so as he’s under public scrutiny BUT as every issue has become a political issue I think most people can’t look at his actions objectively. The right is seeing Musk as a hero, the left is seeing him as a tyrant. Undoubtedly he’s somewhere in between.
Everyone should be appalled that there was government interference with releasing information that would influence election results, but somehow that’s being glossed over because Musk is restricting free speech or allowing racist hate speech…..
His decision to sell off items from the office is odd, even for him. Undoubtedly it’s a publicity stunt but some see it as a liquidation move. Charging $9 a month for verification and just jumping into the change with zero transition was also a strange move. But it depends on how you interpret the decision; was it a rush decision with no thought behind it or was it a power play to let people know he’s in charge and this system is going to follow his rules; or was it combination of both of these?
My point is this is all viewed from whatever prism you “see” it from.
Musk was “forced” to buy this company and now he’s trying to act like what he’s doing was the plan all along. Just like stepping down as CEO, now he has an out if this venture fails because he can say he didn’t have enough time in charge to correct what was wrong.
