2. Other - The man has a brain, but the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old.

Think about what someone did to this website, DU, on the day of the 2016 election: knocked it off the air so we couldn’t use it as a tactical radio to coordinate our GOTV work.

Now think about how the forces of good use Twitter. Would it further the Hard Right’s goals to knock Twitter off the air permanently? They already have non-Twitter communication channels set up on sites like Telegram. None of the alt-Twitters that aren’t overrun with RWNJs have the credibility Twitter does.

He's sold himself as this visionary genius, when he's never invented anything and doesn't really know much about the technolgies his companies develop. He's a salesman, most CEOs are great salesmen.

He's no idiot, he went to good schools, and he could probably hold his own in any number of moderately technical roles, but he's not an expert at anything but sales.

I think he is mostly a greedy asshole attention seeker .
