"As revenue falls, he’s desperately throwing new features at the wall and hoping some of them will stick. The problem is that none of those features address the core problem that Twitter is losing wild amounts of money because all the advertisers have fled."
The funny thing (to me, at least) is the way in which the Elon fanboys will try to ascribe genius levels of product rollout theories to what is clearly just him flailing. If I throw a person who can't swim into a pool, they're not doing A/B testing on the best way to avoid drowning, they're just panicking because they don't know what to do, and they're hoping that thrashing will do something. Elon jumped headfirst into the deep end of the Twitter pool after telling everyone else they weren't swimming the right way, and he doesn't even know how to doggy paddle.
He's very much like Trump in that he had sold himself on this idea that the job he wanted (and then didn't want, and then did want...) was to be done in one way that makes sense to him, and any ways that didn't make sense to him were bad/wrong/dumb. Then once you get in there you learn that sometimes things you don't like are done for reasons that make sense, and that you have to balance competing interests.
Anyway, happy Friday. Cheers to the Zelda fans out there.
