Maybe all his companies are like this, it’s just the first one that’s been so public and shown his true colours.

I’m not going to look for it now, but there was a Twitter thread from last year that kind of talks about this.

Basically, SpaceX and Tesla are companies that grew up with Elon as an early investor, and have learned early on how to contain him.

Twitter basically had none of those institutional firewalls, and could not container him with company culture.

Meanwhile, you have the Elon fanboys still pretending Twitter is doing better than it ever has.
