I disagree, dude always was a twat. He didn’t just happen to fall face first into it, like almost all CEOs he’s lied, cheated and stolen his way to the top but unlike most, managed to stay ahead of the legal consequences of his actions.
He’s manipulated public image and the media in a grand way in a time when media and opinion has more to do with stock prices than results. Tesla sold less than 5k cybertrucks in the last quarter, their stock price should’ve imploded but we no longer live in a world where the rich can fail if they have enough followers.
The systems fallen so far behind it stands virtually no chance of closing the Pandora’s box social media has created. People, especially the least educated and young need strong protections in place to keep them from latching onto lies and perversions of the truth. Unfortunately getting said system in place would require politicians who didn’t want to use social media to gain power.
