    Elon is ultimately a victim of his own tragic stupidity. He wanted to believe that he was always the smartest guy in the room and paid handsomely for smarter people to pretend that he was.

    But then he bought Xitter and reality caught up with him. A middling intellect with barely surface knowledge of every venture he pollutes with his presence.

    The real tragedy is what all those smart people could have done with all those resources if they weren’t being led by a fuckwit.

      Supposedly, the companies he bought when they were still very small (Tesla, SpaceX) developed a culture of managing Elon, and new employees would gradually learn how they need to deal with his requests to keep him happy while still keeping the business going.

      But because Twitter was already so large and established, and Musk took over and started making big changes right away, they didn’t have the culture or the institutional knowledge of how to deal with him. So the damage has been so much worse.
