   Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.

   Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.

   Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: https://www.disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wants-to-relive-his-start

     @hermit @parismarx @1iceloops123 I don't think so really, Musk is just a rube. *Jack* however, yeah, that's absolutely what I think he's doing.

     @1iceloops123 @parismarx It's all about leaving a mark and feeling useful for guys like this. I've worked for several. They're all useless parasitic assholes and people only tolerate them because they have money.

     @hermit @parismarx @1iceloops123 He was the one who orchestrated the sale to Musk and he's been pretty vocal various places about how he views Twitter as the biggest mistake of his life and seeks to rectify it. Of course, *in public*, he spins this with things like the Bluesky initiative or his involvement with Nostr but it's not hard to put two and two together on what his actual long game is here. He gets to humiliate the board members who fired him, expose the rotten inner workings of the beast he created, have the beast slain thru sheer incompetence, and nobody thinks anything of it because they're all focused on the clown on top.

     @hermit @parismarx @1iceloops123 Good chance he did, but regardless, he heads Stripe so he's gonna make it no matter what happens. This is why it always pays to be a kingmaker rather than a king.
