Oh, Elon... you twit

Elon Musk has the philosophy of "Move fast and break things." Well, when you have a pile of money to burn and safe places to blow stuff up - that will work for hardware. I remember a lot of explosive failures when SpaceX first started out. Sometimes the only way to learn things is to break things.

That approach doesn't work with social media.

Right now Twitter is *broken* and Elon is stumbling to move fast - which means he's breaking things even faster. This frightens the money people (advertisers) and when software breaks it leaves big holes for hackers, jokers and just plain mean people to f*ck you up.

Advertisers want to be associated with nice things. Nazis and people screaming the 'n' word are not nice. Conspiracy theories that blame drag queens and gay people for all our problems is not nice. Claiming that demons are causing climate change is not nice.

Death threats and promising violence is not nice. Yet, that is what's happening to Twitter right now. And Elon keeps moving fast and breaking things.

I hope it breaks him.
