As someone who never got “hooked” onto twitter (turned into an active user) each time I viewed Twitter I found two main issues:

- a discoverability problem for topics, authors, and tweets

- too much garbage, spam, low quality tweets

To the point where I “churned out”.

It is clear that twitter as a platform has immense long term potential if curated properly. The fact that “cancel tribes” and virtual lynchings are a recent mainstay of the culture of the user base, shouldn’t make it surprising that critical and interesting voices (no free speech) do not feel free. Enabled wokism from the top down has materially affected the quality of the content on the platform in its current form.

The issue at twitter is likely a combination of:

- poor management

- internal cultural issues

- lack of a revamped product vision

All of the above issues are the perfect set up for an executive shakeup from an outsider.

If we take the above as true, who else has the gull and ability to do such a shake-up? Twitter’s board as demonstrated in the previous weeks seemed quite entrenched and reasonably powerful.

This seems like a good fit, IMO.

inspite of all those problems Elon Musk seems to be able to use the platform effectively given how much noise he gets on any of his posts becuase I believe Twitter is the only social media platform he is on.
