    You suppose his terribleness has zero impact on the technologies his companies work on? That is the whole issue of him owning Twitter.

    One shouldn’t trust a black box technology (e.g. software) in the first place but even moreso from his companies.

      Based on the comments about him online, I find that he is simultaneously in complete control of every aspect of his companies and their technologies, and also an idiot rich kid who bought every company fully-formed and relies entirely on the people he hired to get anything done.

        You can dictate what your employees do in a company you own, that much is self evident

        He can tell his employees to go one way and ignore (or fire) them when they raise objections

        So he can be in total control and still be a spoiled rich idiot, those things are not mutually exclusive

          The question people are usually arguing about is whether he gets “credit” for his companies’ successes. If he’s got total control but he’s an idiot, how are his companies doing so well?

          Well, aside from Twitter. But nobody’s good at everything.

            You can be inteligent and an idiot. All companies are a combination of skill and luck.

        You say that like some mix of seemingly contradictory ideas can’t exist simultaneously. Are you 9?

        Do you think someone can be in complete control of every aspect of their companies when they spend all day shitposting on Twitter?

        I think some simple logic can tell you which of those is the truth.
