Tweet of the Day

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. The tech stack won't blow up or implode. The social stack at Twitter is crumbling

Musk knows tech. He can keep that going.

The Mollusk does not know social engineering or mores or enough about morality and democracy. He has authoritarian tendencies ("Give me ten screen shots of hardcore coding and I'll let you work 12 hour days", suggesting Ukraine should cede territory for peace, etc.).

He has broken the social contract that allowed ALL kinds of people to interact with at least a modicum of civility in the "town square".

He won't be able to repair the social stack at Twitter because he doesn't realize how badly he has broken it. It was his objective to break it and remake it. He can remake it in the image of a cruel goon filled anarchy, but that won't bring back the masses or the advertisers. He won't be able to remake the old Twitter social contract.

Good thing he paid top dollar and will lose billions on it. His other companies are losing value as he wastes time at Twitter and reveals just how unstable he is. He could get forced out of Tesla, for example, which has lost half its value since Egoloon made a play for Twitter.
