Bloomberg columnist Conor Sen on Twitter commenting on Twiter’s response to Elon Musk who is attempting to scrap his deal to buy the company.
Twitter was incredibly stupid to get involved with a narcissistic and erratic character like Elon Musk.
As often happens, greed got the better of people. Twitter’s board of directors did not do due diligence and simply believed the popular assumption that Musk had piles of money sitting around which he could easily spend on the deal.
And they certainly didn’t give a shit about the political and social ramifications of selling the platform to an extremist with a toxic agenda.
So Twitter directors have vividly demonstrated to the world their greed, their stupidity, and their amorality. It serves them right if they lose money on the deal.
Journalist Derek Thompson addressed the Musk/Twitter fiasco in an episode of his podcast series Plain English. At 16 minutes, it’s about the length that podcast episodes should be.
