"Elon Musk speedrunning social network leadership fantasy camp is what’s dominating the hearts and drama-stems of every doom-scroller."
From Ritchie's "How (NOT) to save a company" posted last week on YouTube:
Twitter vs. Apple. Elon vs. Steve Jobs. I mean, kinda, we’ll get to that in a minute. Point being, Twitter is what everyone is talking about right now. Especially on Twitter. More than FTX imploding — and exploding — at least at time of recording. More than Mark Zuckerberg laying off 11,000 people. More than Apple momentarily junking up the App Store with gambling ads. More than the FBI allegedly test-driving Pegasus spyware a couple or few years back.
Elon Musk speedrunning social network leadership fantasy camp is what’s dominating the hearts and drama-stems of every doom-scroller and tech media thirst trapper in the 1218 universe.
So, what's going on?
Cue the video:
My take: Ten jam-packed minutes from the master of jam-packed minutes.
1. Steve Jobs only briefly owned Apple on any level close to the way Elon Musk owns Twitter, and that was when it was barely more than an idea taking shape in a garage.
2. Steve Jobs’ forte was spotting talent/great ideas and giving them their lead. Elon Musk used to know how to do that (hence SpaceX), but in the case of Twitter has either forgotten how to delegate or trusts his own “expertise” above everyone else’s.
Put these together and you have an ego-driven accident waiting to happen.
