I’ve always wondered why a guy who helped create a large and diverse dataset of founders and companies descends into derpistan like this to join wagon-circling defensive movements. Perhaps because seed startups are like stem cells and don’t vary much till later.

It's remarkable how many people who've never run any kind of company think they know how to run a tech company better than someone who's run Tesla and SpaceX.

It’s easy to ignore bad takes about twitter and take note of varied scattered insights from the good ones What’s hard to ignore though is the Depressingly Dull Defensive Derp (D4) from people who are obviously capable of better takes but cannot escape the cronyism gravity well

Is it obvious to you that he's wrong? It's been like two weeks. Seems like the jury's still out on how this will play out in the long run.

Wrong about what? He hasn’t said anything besides “You people know nothing, Praise Elon!” It’s an uncritical and vacuous statement of faith. There’s no substance to agree or disagree with.

This is a weird kind of founder determinism that works in the big game VC space. They did it, so that’s how it must be done, sorta thing.

Is this not him just suggesting the confident predictions of failure from voices with no experience in this area are strange given Elon's past success w/ two very difficult companies? I.e that success would be predicted at neutral or slightly above instead of 100% negative

Twitter looks like Alesia with multiple layers of fortification. Like during the Alesia battle it is not clear who is attacking and who is defending. It is even less clear what side is going. What is known is that after Alesia Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon on his way back.
