A new assessment determined that X, the platform once known as Twitter, is worth a mere fraction of the value it had when Elon Musk bought it for $44 billion.
For as much of a genius that he thinks he is, why didn’t he do literally nothing after he comes on board and watch how twitter functions first before he starts firing people? Wouldn’t you want hire more people instead if you want to implement new features for the super app he is dreaming of?
Hey, if this level of decision making is all it takes to become a tech CEO, maybe I should become a tech CEO if this acting thing doesn’t work out for some reason. Seems pretty easy.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, but Elon really isn’t that smart and he certainly isn’t a genius. Elon has a BA in Physics from a school known for business degrees. He also got a BS in Business, but UPenn and Wharton are known more for how hard it is to get in than how hard the classes are.
The website CollegeVine says UPenn is known as the “Social Ivy” and “UPenn’s admissions is highly-selective, but students applying to the UPenn College of Arts & Science (CAS) will find it less academically competitive than schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford (although exceptional academics are still a must).”
By the way, he started college in 1990, transferred to UPenn in 1992, and states he graduated in 1995, but UPenn refutes that saying he graduated in 1997. This is a school where 96% of those who are accepted graduate within 150% of the degree time (4 year degree within 6 years) (https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/edu/215062/university-of-pennsylvania/graduation/).
Musk of course says he completed the courses in 1995, but there was some sort of mixup with an English and History credit that delayed the degree by 2 years.
I’m typically not one to judge what degrees someone pursues or how long they take to finish those degrees, but when people start calling someone who loses $40 billion a genius the gloves come off.
IDK how helpful words like “smart” and “genius” are as predictors of academic success anyway.
A wise person studies consistently and conscientiously and gets good grades. A wise & wealthy person would also hire people to have great ideas for them and be frank in telling them how terrible their own ideas are.
Ego! He is absolutely convinced he’s a genius and smarter than everyone else. People sniffing his farts and praising him are not helping either. There’s only one thing Musk is good at and that’s riding top of the Dunning-Kruger wave.
I’m convinced that he “made the best out of a bad situation” once he realized he couldn’t get out of the acquisition.
He’s not doing any of this for any other reason than trying to destroy one of the largest platforms for leftist voices in the U.S./world. He’s pretty successfully accomplishing his goal, with that frame of mind.
I am sure a guy that helps advance EV industry and develops spaceX knows a thing or two on running a company. From my understanding, since he bought Twitter at such high price, he had to cut cost before he was swimming in negative cash flow.
He didn’t design any EV or rockets. On top of that the best mode of transportation in the future is train rail. He completely stopped the California Hyperloop and now is digging holes underground with le epic meme company name.
Little correction here, Musk proposed the pie in the sky Hyperloop idea to stop the California High Speed Rail from being built.
If you are ever in LA, you should drive by the sad looking Hyperloop prototype next to SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne (don’t get out of the car, not a safe area) and you will immediately see how ridiculous the entire Hyperloop idea is.
The guy is not a genius in any way at all. Maybe research how he actually got where he is. It sure as hell wasn’t because he’s some kind of revolutionary person.

Because only a nutjob like him would have the ego for it. Sometimes reckless people are granted money and you end up with dumpster fires like musk.

“since he bought Twitter at such a high price”
You mean at an absolutely stupid price?
