Are you honestly arguing Musk did NOT somehow fundamentally fuck up Twitter? That he was a victim of circumstance? Give me a break, dawg.

I'm saying blame him for the things he actually did. Just like I said I said.

It's turning into a recurring gag for me to see another news article about some website (like reddit, for example) crashing and burning and my response is "Why would Elon Musk do this?"

Musk is somebody who is used to running a startup, where if you fire everybody and shut down operations for a couple years while government subsides and pre-orders are happy to wait 6 years for things to actually be delivered.

It doesn't work for a business that needs to remain operational.

Alot of companies announced layoffs, it was typically only 2-7% of their workforce. Elon laid off 75%+

And yes, a lot of his actions are necessary moves. He needed a transition plan
