completely agreed

i'll even go a bit further and say the board threatening the poison pill stuff might have even been a little 4d chess to get elon's oppositional defiance disorder to kick in but for real

twitter likely would have collapsed between 2016 and now had it not suddenly and unexpectedly landed the presidential press secretary gig for four years

signing a binding agreement to buy is a weird way to have no intention of buying

i was thinking about how twitter has probably never had a very good ceo

maybe evan williams? but he stabbed jack in the back but was so dumb he didn't see jack consolidating power to get back at him so i guess not very good

yeah those are not too interesting. "there is only one environment for the whole company" is interesting. "we have no backups so no one can demand to see them" is interesting. "we do not have licenses for mission critical services" is interesting

i disagree, obviously

there is definitely a finite amount of great ones but there's easily enough for a top 100 imo
