That’s not a great way to treat your best customer. Twitter makes 89% of their revenue from advertising, and in the first quarter of this year, Apple was their biggest advertiser. It would take a whole lot of blue check marks to equal the amount that Apple gives Twitter for advertising. Apple should just cut their Twitter ad budget by 30%.

Of course he should run for president again. Those 250,000 people that voted for him last time want to see him do it again.  Don’t forget to get on the ballots, though!

I agree!  that's 250,000 less votes for the other deranged stable genius.

Free speech doesn’t compel me to stay on a platform that circulates harmful lies.

You do know that - hopefully - in every single democratic city when you get out of your house you meet people that exercise their right to free speech?! You are saying that you would rather live in a dictatorship instead of living in a place where even the stupidest peoples are allowed (I'm not saying encouraged, I just say protected) to speak freely?

Would a great leader be in the position that Musk is in?   when I got into IT years ago, I remember learning something interesting about IBM.  That is, at IBM you can make mistakes with money but if you make mistakes with people they get rid of you.  I really like that kind of thinking.   I work for a large company and we just had our CEO leave after 5 years because of wear and tear with juggling travel, business and family.   He was well respected and people loved working for him based on feedback I hear.  I supported him directly on many occasions and was the best CEO I ever knew so far.  I said I would stay with my company as long as he remains CEO.    That kind of leadership is what builds a great company.  I don’t know if Musk understands how important it is to deal with people.  People are the soul of any company.  They will give their love, respect and hard work to leadership that works for them instead of against them.   That’s part of how you win in business.

Being that Elon Musk is the richest man in the world (and self made) and is the CEO of the worlds most successful electric car company and a few other extremely innovative companies I believed he has earned the right to be given the benefit of the doubt of his leadership skills.
