It's fascinating to watch him learning in real time as he is experiments and bring his own experience to it. He has been a successful executive for a tech company before, Tesla is just a tech company that sells cars. Now social media

Facebook copying his questionable subscription model is hardly evidence for "innovation". If anything it's the opposite -- it shows big corps just copy each other as a safety mechanism -- something we've already seen with the large rounds of lay-offs.

Meta seems to betting big on VR and failing. I'm not sure that its instrinsically about social media so much as a bad pivot.

Musk innovated at twitter years before he ever bid on twitter, amazing skills.
