Do you have a rich daddy?

Thing is, he didn't just randomly get lucky. He put in a huge amount of work and actually had a lot of good ideas. People love to hate Elon Musk, and when you hate someone you're loathe to admit to any positives about him, but he actually is smart in certain fields. It's not sheer coincidence that most of the companies he bought or started before this Twitter debacle grew immensely and made great advances. You can say that's because he "hired the right people," but that itself is a skill - knowing who to hire and what resources and projects to give them.

Unfortunately, I think Musk has been so successful for so long that he's become convinced he's good at everything. And as we're seeing now, he seems to have found something he's really not good at. He's new at running a social media company and this is the first time he's bought a really big pre-established company with a different culture than he's used to and there's clearly some trouble there. But I guess time will tell just what happens to Twitter in the long run.
