The persistent danger is all these signs of management by woke-derangement-syndrome. He’s blaming ad revenue drops on activism?? That’s not… a promising thought process to guide a turnaround. You don’t get to creative leaps starting with totalizing political purge missions.

One thing that’s just sinking in for me is the degree to which Musk is more PE turnaround guy than startup guy. He goes after *old* industries and distressed assets. He bought old Toyota-GM factory for Tesla. Tried to buy Russian rockets before betting on Tom Mueller.

This strikes me as a *really* rosy-colored view.
"Out of his depth" or "Deliberate sabotage" both feel WAY more plausible than "a few small missteps and then we'll be back on board!"

Site will go down hard. It will get wonky, slow down, lose things - then hard crash, no restart.
Elon fired all of the on-call site reliability engineers and their systems are so hand-built there is no outside entity that can help them.
I give it two weeks.
