Twitter more so than others - having an insecure ego driven mercurial boss micromanaging everything is a recipe for disaster.



Nah, twitter is getting what it needs


If you want to destroy it, then Elon is on the right track.

Steve Jobs got away with that in the early Apple days - the pirate flag - trashing the Apple II team as bozos , trashing folks when they did not deliver what he expected but the Lisa/Mac folks believed in their mission and was happy to put up with him.

And Sculley/board got rid of him before he could inflict more serious damage.

Don't think twitter folks is like that.

Also, Steve when he came back seemed to have mellowed due to having a family and rather had trusted lieutenants in place to execute his vision and some of them still remain there at Apple.
