I am personally hoping that Twitter will break Elon Musk, and then go out of business. That would be the best possible outcome. I am not holding my breath that it will happen, but it would be incredible.



Why would losing Tesla and SpaceX be incredible?


To people downvoting this message - I do sincerely hope we get to live in two separate lifetimes: me in the one where SpaceX succeeds and you in the one where it fails.


Those companies would not evaporate without Elon.


Would they be where they are without him?


Tesla existed before Musk. He bought it and by arbitration got listed as a founder.


This is such a tired take. Tesla was worth, at most, a few million dollars when Elon became their largest investor. They had no products. They had no sales. He turned a $2 million company into a $700 billion company, but he's not the founder because he wasn't in the paperwork for the first year of its existence in which very little happened? Ok.


I think the post was referring to Musk, not those companies.
