Before he bought Twitter, Musk remarked, “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.”

    He’s incredibly intelligent

    Is he though? He’s been successful, sure. But I feel like he hires smart people and then rides on their coattails.

    I thought he was smart as well - until he started commenting on a field I know (software). And now he seems to just be confidently ignorant.

      Yeah, the moment he talked about shutting down most of Twitter’s microservices in prod as if it was a genius idea, that’s when the illusion shattered for me.

      Made me realize he’s really an idiot, it’s as if he’s trying to emulate the Pointy Haired Boss.
