This really has to rank as one of the most chaotic acquisitions of all time. And I’ve been part of 4 acquisitions in my career, all of them as a senior manager but one where I was CTO. So I know first hand how painful it can be! #twitter #elonmusk https://www.reuters.com/technology/musk-tells-twitter-staff-bankruptcy-isnt-out-question-platformer-2022-11-10/

@wiredfire I honestly thought at the start that he’d be all talk and not change much. It never crossed my mind that it would be anywhere near this chaotic!
This is so bad it really would make me think twice before buying any of his products! 😳 if it is really true that he’s brushing away the FTC compliance requirements like they don’t matter I really have to question every judgment that goes into designing any of his products.

@gpowerf had Musk just pushed on development of EV and battery tech and making space exploration less costly & a little more sustainable and just KEPT QUIET he would have gone down in history as one the biggest contributors to our society for generations.
But he can’t keep a lid on the crazy.
It’s a spectacle, and while part of me genuinely thinks we’re watching the real-time mental collapse of an unwell man, I have no sympathy given the damage he’s wrought on many 😔

@wiredfire I’m so conflicted. Because the push for EVs, better batteries, self driving cars, AI, and space is exploration are all things I can truly support. All of those can massively benefit humanity, but as you said, he can’t help it and has to do and say crazy stuff.
I feel very sorry for Twitter staff.

@gpowerf I feel exactly the same. Especially about the good folk at Twitter 😢

@gpowerf wild isn’t it. Just when I thought things were quietening down *slightly*, Musk drops another doozy. Crazy times.
