He's moving fast and breaking things.

Eventually I suspect things will get fixed and Twitter will probably benefit from the attention. Twitter hasn't been this interesting in years.

Is this the opinion of an active twitter user, or from outside? He's certainly making things interesting for spectators but the people who were already there using it don't seem that pleased from what I can tell.

Also idk about you but I've been in tech about a decade, seen a lot of the changes the startup era has wrought on our world and I can't hear "move fast and break things" as anything positive anymore. I wish we had gone a little slower, we broke some things I think we needed.

"May you live in interesting times" is a curse, not a blessing. People tune into disasters. Trolling aside, twitter has become hugely introspective over the last few weeks, which isn't particularly interesting.
At the rate it's going possibly he might just shut down Twitter for a few months and then relaunch it. More excitement and less of all this

Maybe for some. Black Twitter had some great sagas.
