Does that mean he's now announcing the next five years, that Twitter's next feature will be ready next year?
Self-posting tweets by 2025, you wont even have to open the app to anger people

What did Elon do exactly beyond take credit for the work of talented engineers?
Provide an environment where those talented engineers could accomplish something no other environment allowed them to. It's not like there aren't talented people at Boeing or Lockheed and it's not like those talented people just came out of thin air, it takes amazing leadership and a strong vision to bring talented people together to accomplish something that to this day no other rocket company is still capable of do…
There are probably a lot of great leaders and managers at SpaceX.

#313I think Twitter's CEO summed it up well, and I agree: > He’s both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need on @Twitter, and in the boardroom, to make us stronger in the long-term. Welcome Elon! https://twitter.com/paraga/status/1511320964813910017

I dont know about electric cars, but what Elon did with space x is simply incredible. Commercial space flights were becoming rarer and rarer out of the US, and now it is the most common. The price of space flight while still high, was reduced by a huge percentage. I’m sure he told many lies to get there. But economics and physics don’t really lie. I like him for the reasons I like Kanye, Bernie Sanders, and Trump (th…
If only there was a way to filter the signal from the noise. Maybe if we locked them in a room together?
I would love to be a fly on that wall.
Elon, Bernie, Kanye, Trump - most things they say are just noise.

The word we're searching for here is "divisive"
The people I agree with are visionaries. The people I disagree with are divisive.
I know the point you're trying to make, but I can't imagine that even the largest Elon Musk fanboys would disagree that he's divisive. At best, I can imagine them saying it's not his fault and people overreact, but that's still recognition of the divisiveness.

Doesn't hurt that him buying 10% of Twitter is equivalent to the average person buying a new computer.
4 billion is still a lot of money even for him. Also liquid assets for investment are harder for people that rich so still likely a major decision. Either he used proceeds from last year stock sales or he leveraged some Tesla stock for this .
Can we stop with this fiction. Billionaires can easily liquidate their equity assets and do so regularly.

#320I have obviously missed something but what is the main objection to Musk being part of Twitter's board?
One problem is the culture he's created at his other companies. "Black Tesla employees describe a culture of racism: ‘I was at my breaking point’ " https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-03-25/black-tesl... "California sues Tesla, alleging rampant racism at factory" https://www.npr.org/2022/02/15/1080884899/california-sues-te... "Black workers accused Tesla of racism for years. Now California is stepping in" htt…
I'm sure this is all 100% true and in no way backlash for Musk's decision to shift operations away from California and very loud criticism of CA's politicians/bureaucrats.
