I know it's not popular but I like the fact that he's annoyed and did something about it.
Doesn't hurt that him buying 10% of Twitter is equivalent to the average person buying a new computer.
Think Different might have more than one meaning.
This is the biggest thing to happen to twitter since the trump presidency. Both big for twitter, and awful for society.
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?

I 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.

"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.

I'm having a "The boy who cried wolf" moment right now.

Elon Musk is kind of obnoxious. He lies (or "exaggerates"). But what Tesla has done is insane. It's happened so quickly, and that's leaving aside the rockets. The hard evidence that we can build new things, that we can progress and build a future that's better than the present is so important. If it takes a flawed man to show us that, I'll take it. If you hate Elon Musk, consider probing your mind deeply to figure ou…
All I see with Tesla is how government policy can successfully change markets. Tesla exists not because of Musk’s genius[0], but because of tax credits and carbon offset credits that allowed Tesla to be profitable early. Without Musk, someone else would’ve pulled it off, without the policy Musk would have done something else. 0 - Again, Musk didn’t found tesla, he did a hostile takeover and has tried to rewrite histo…
You can use this argument to say that no one deserves credit for doing anything. Seems like a dead-end way of thinking about the world to me.

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.
An employee exodus from Twitter would only be a good thing in my eyes. They're all too ideological from my experience.
At this point if anyone thinks that vaccine debate is ideological, I don't think we will change each others mind in either way, but I'm just curious if there are any examples.
As far as I can tell that is the one and only piece of controversy. They banned Trump.

My impression is that he uses his wealth mostly to invest in other ventures that he feels are important causes to him.
