I’ll be the first to admit that I initially fell for his (initially) near perfect PR that crafted the industry genius image he’s still coasting on to this day. Of course that took a nosedive when he started calling a rescuer “pedo” for pointing out the stupidity of his rescue submarine idea. But it wasn’t until he started talking about IT that I finally started to understand he wasn’t an average CEO manipulating public opinion to his advantage, but an absolute moron who actually never had any idea of what he was talking about. Yes the dude is that stupid, but good PR is actually hard to completely take down.
Yeah, taking bolt cutters to a colo to forcibly remove half of Twitter’s redundancy was a breaking the camel’s back moment. He really thinks grandiose metaphorical displays like carring a sink with him to a new job are more important than actually producing anything.
