Misleading investors is one of Elon’s main jobs. And he’ll continue doing so, as we doesn’t face any consequences for it (expect for becoming ultra rich).
This. He lies constantly about his products, intentions and behaviors and faces no repercussions. But stocks go brr so who cares
Good for TWTR but not great for its employees given how Elon runs his companies.
Fascinating to me the level of vitriol that spews from people on this guy. He's just a guy, you know?
Basically he's got a lot of money. People will attack him no matter what he does, in an effort to redistribute his wealth. It's game theory, there are no billionaires who are liked.
Is there a law akin to Godwin's or Sturgeon's about all social media trending toward some failure state? Several years ago I deleted all my FB content and then disabled my account. Looks like it's time to do that with my Twitter account now.

I give his tenure as CEO 6 months at most before he's forced out by the board, or resigns for ideological differences. The changing wind that Elon is going to usher in is going to be fundamental and sweeping, and I wouldn't be surprised to see an exodus of employees follow.
This reminds me of a startup I've worked for, CEO highly praised new board member ("[..] worked hard for months to get him on board [..]") in all hands meeting, 2 weeks later CEO essentially was out.

You wrote in Kanye West for president, thought enough other voters would join you to make doing so worth anything to you and your vote, and share that extremely poor adult judgment confidently and publicly? You like him because he says shit? I mean I say shit, too, would you vote for me even if my entire policy platform was incoherent and I stalk and abuse my exes and their new partners in public? You realize his ent…
Kanye 2024. :) Seriously though this is my point. Kanye is absurd. A fool you might say. Like Trump and Bernie. Yet if you live in an upside down world, you might say some obvious truth, and it will further make you like a fool. I like that back in 04 he was talking about the way blacks are treated in America, before all the woke fools decided it was popular. And Beyonces video was better than Taylor’s. The funny par…
Now if you say “I think Trump likes black people” you are lambasted like Kanye was for saying George bush didn’t.
I have obviously missed something but what is the main objection to Musk being part of Twitter's board?
HN has a bias against Elon Musk. That’s pretty much what you need to know.
Elon is the wealthiest person ever. He will bend Twitter to help all his existing businesses increase his wealth, all while making more money doing so. How could you possibly think otherwise?
Does HN crowd REALLY believe he is going to remove censorship and preserve the voice of the underclass ? Thats the most naive thing to believe.
