    As I said in other comment, he lowered Twitter expanses without actually lowering the quality of service quality (I don’t know if he lowered moderation for costs or personal control) .

    I would preferred he do the costs minimizing measures more slowly, but I don’t think anyone can criticize the efficiency there.

    And all of that while not knowing anything about how social media companies work or having previous experience.

    I am saying all this as a person who use Mastodon and BlueSky instead of Twitter.

    Most people who left Twitter left it because of Elon ego rather than the way he manages the company internally.

      I think a lot of people would disagree with you about X. Objectively he bought the company for $44B and now it’s worth $9B that’s a huge loss. Most people attribute the decline to his “efficiency” measures. Basically losing all the good talent in his company causing a significant decline in users ( because of quality of service). His running of Twitter I think would be a better example of a failure.

      That aside hypothetically even if X was doing well - How would the strategy / approach he used in a public company be good for government. These are two very different places?
