I wouldn’t call it communism to say a business person who made a bad deal by overpaying 3x the price for something is incompetent.

And then races to lay off half the workforce days after coming in, based on napkin calculations that suspiciously work out to cut costs to cover the loans he took with the company as collateral ahead of time.

After trying to fight off in court the completion of this impulse buy.

If Mr. Musk turns this around after so much fumbling around, that would be the display of business acumen that his admirers expect of him, so far trying to say that these moves make sense amounts to saying that these are the tactics of a genius beyond mortal ken, because they simply don't look good.

I would love to listen in on those negotiations.

If you’re reading this, and Twitter wants you back, I hope you ask for a contract with a year’s pay in advance, due before returning to work, at 10x your prior rate.

After all, you must be one of those 10x developers if Elon is willing to eat crow and ask you to come back.

Just having those emails in hand would be almost a voucher for negotiating higher salary when looking for another job, they certify that you were one of the people that were vital for Twitter to run.
