What an expensive lesson for him to teach himself (if he has indeed learned anything).

I can appreciate his ambition, and what (some of) his companies have done, but he has absolutely mismanaged the acquisition and running of twitter.

If he could just step back, stick to managing SpaceX, Tesla and Boring, and stop tweeting, I would be very happy.

Every mistake he's made at Twitter, he's made before, many times. But at Twitter, he did in a more public, spectacular way. In some cases at higher scale. From everything I've seen from him at this point - he won't learn. Plus, he's a 50+ year old man. Can't teach old dogs new tricks.
