Or maybe...

Just maybe...

Twitter was a bloated and poorly-run company that was in serious need of an enema.

This is bouyed by the facts. Employees did very little actual work, each had multiple bosses who haphazardly lead their teams to accomplish nothing in 12 years, and oversaw mountains of wasteful corporate spending that produced nothing but losses in 10 out of the last 12 FY. Upwards of $4,000,000,000.

Musk could drag himself into the office, guzzle down 2 smoothies and "relax" ...and do nothing else till 4pm and still do better than the last decade of Twitter leadership.



Instead of an enema the patient has been pared down to a lobotomized quadriplegic.
