One user responded basically asking is Twitter a tech company which is a totally fair question, I would propose that there's at least a decent chance that running Twitter solely like a tech company will lead to... challenges.

And second, he seems to really hate this idea that founders are criticized by the plebes (https://nitter.net/paulg/status/1591098388317179908) . I get his overall thesis, that we should be constructive and optimistic for a better future and stop tearing people down, but is it so crazy to humanize the employees of companies, and not just their founders? Is it so crazy to want a better world where founders treat their employees with autonomy and respect, and criticize those who don't?

Also criticism can be a form of education, is it so wrong to think that Musk has something to learn here? I can’t imagine he wouldn’t think so, watching his interactions on Twitter, I think he’s even benefiting from the criticism!

Having been on the side of trying to do something unpopular, the worst kind of feedback you can get is no feedback at all.
