GOLDBERG: Elon Musk confuses Twitter with the real world Via JonahDispatch
There’s a whole subculture of lamentation about modern society that can be fairly well summed up in Peter Thiel’s roughly decade-old gripe that things like Twitter were distracting us from greatness: “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.”From our newsroom to your inbox at noon, the latest headlines, stories, opinion and photos from the Toronto Sun.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
So far, however, it’s been a debacle — though only partly of his own making. Musk is a visionary entrepreneur and engineer, but it turns out running a social media platform that has rarely been profitable doesn’t come as naturally to him as designing rockets. When he took over Twitter, he fired thousands of employees, only to discover he needed some of them and is now asking some to return.
And this points to why his troubles are only partly of his own making. The users are part of the problem. Meanwhile, on the right, jubilation over Musk’s takeover quickly gave way to rage over his troubles. Josh Holmes, a prominent political consultant, former chief of staff to Senator Mitch McConnell, and normally fairly level-headed political observer, nonetheless suggested that companies pulling their advertising should face congressional grilling for “leftist corporate extortion” after the GOP takes over the House.
