    • Buys a financially struggling company for way too much money
    • Dismantles everything that made it attractive
    • Turned it into something so repulsive and toxic that the users and advertisers leave
    • Told the advertisers to “go fuck themselves”
    • Tried to sue the advertisers into returning, further discouraging any new advertiser from ever doing business with him
    • Whines and bitches about the company not making any money

    Hey guys, I’m starting to think that this guy’s fortune has absolutely fuckall to do with his skills at running a business

      Did you include the whole ‘verified’ tag fiasco in your list? I didn’t see it explicitly in there, but maybe it falls under a general functionality fuck-up point.

      Destroys the brand recognition by renaming it to a letter of the alphabet he personally likes but nobody else gives a crap about

      I’m beginning to suspect he only likes that letter because it’s the middle part of a swastika.

      What was the username he stole? Don’t remember that one

      Also, don’t forget the disastrous rollout of the blue checks when a few people imitated companies and said Lockheed wouldn’t be doing business with Israel and a few others. But I guess that was the best thing he did, honestly, because that shit was hilarious.

      Great summary btw. and you are absolutely right here. He is a terrible manager.

      Remember the time when he slept at the Tesla factory just because he didn’t trust anybody and thought he himself must rescue it all by working so much overtime and make all the decisions.

        He is a terrible manager.

        I still can’t get over how Musk told computer programmers to print out hardcopies of all their source changes, and then fly to Musk’s city to show him the hardcopy. That alone proves Musk is the dumbest CEO of all time.

      You forgot the part where couchefucker Vance threatened Europe to pull out of NATO if Europe wouldn’t stop suing and leaving twatter

      That paragraph above would normally be so bizarre that it wouldn’t even make it to TV for being too… Out there… But this is the timeline we’re in now, this is the new normal
