My Twitter Thoughts
This post has been a long time coming, because it intersects with a lot of portions of my life. I’m an active Twitter user with about 24,000 followers. I’ve been on there 15 years and have sent 54,400 tweets in that time. My boy works for Elon, and I met Elon one-on-one back in 2000 when he had just founded x.com and had an office just a few blocks away from mine. And, of course, I’ve been watching Elon’s acquisition of Twitter with great interest.
Simply stated, I hope the guys succeeds wildly. I hope the MUCH smaller employee base is able to make Twitter into something far greater than it was, and I further hope Elon makes more billions years down the road when he takes it public again. I truly want to see the dénouement on this saga silence all the doubters.
