It is doing exactly what any reasonable person thought it would do. It's bringing the manic corporate c-level incompetence to the federal government where it can do the same damage it used to do internally to shitty tech companies and software engineers to important, previously reliable services.
Edit: anyone saying "I want the government run like a business" either doesn't know how businesses run in this country, or actively wants the government run into the ground like businesses are here.
Brought to you be the genius who paid $44 billion for a company and promptly halved the value. The same man who held his shareholders ransom for $56 billion.
Why anyone thinks a ruthless billionaire has any position in a service that is supposed to serve the people, is beyond me.
Well, Twitter was never worth $44 billion. He still fucked it up but a good chunk of that value was never there to begin with.
It was worth $44 billion to Elon, which just displays more of his business "skills".
Not sure I'd say he thought it was worth that since he tried to back out of the deal but was forced to follow through.
The people who want the country run as a business don't know how a business is run.
