(23,289 posts)One article I read (can't find it right now) said that Musk's product companies were successful because they were constrained by the laws of physics.
Whereas, there are no laws of physics for social media. The only law is "throw shit against a wall and see what sticks".
And that's what he's doing. Without theory or prior experience or knowledge base, he's trying everything, including breaking labor laws and stiffing employees and vendors (but that's another matter, based on hubris versus logic and law)
It's entirely reckless, because unlike a traditional startup, which he fancies twixler to be, he had plenty to lose, and has lost billions of dollars and all credibility except with the fascist contingent.
It must be the reality distortion field that magnifies the opinions of a minority, especially that minority of one, into something the size of the universe. Unconstrained by the laws of physics.
Or anything else.
