They have released ton's more features including AI - grok, premium subscription with no ads, growth has been record high all run with much less engineers, it's more optimized and better now IMO. In tech companies, it's not just about headcount, one needs a strong leader to drive company towards greater success like Elon.

any dev can ship tens of features, they will be as bad as everything twitter did

It's baffling that people can still think this way in 2024. Almost none of Musk's forecasts, estimates, or product promises have been delivered on time. His history is basically a long list of missed deadlines. Believing that Musk is a good leader is pure delusion, especially now.

I don't mean to be snarky, but... and?

As a reminder, the sitting POTUS announced the suspension of their reelection campaign on X. It wasn't announced on CNN or the NYT or via WH direct broadcast, it was on X. These events will be written about without any political rose-colored-glasses in 100 years from now.

You can regurgitate your genuinely stupid rhetoric all you want, but I hope you understand that nobody of any importance, relevance, or power agrees with you -- in fact, they haven't for a few years now if you've been paying attention to anything in reality.

Nobody cares about the things you're enumerating. But, even if they did, Musk is better on those points than anyone you're going to suggest.

Nobody care if Twitter goes out of service tomorrow, too. And everyday it has like, 10% chance of it happening lol

I care. I'm sure Musk cares. I'm sure the private investors care. I'm sure the 500M+ paying users of X care.

You should be genuinely embarrassed at your brain dead and stupid reply.

We can only have intelligent discussion here if you're willing to. Dismissing the conversation so severely suggests you're a liar, propagandist, demon, and/or retard (possibly, all of the above) acting in bad faith.

The onus is on you to demonstrate the ad hominem fallacy here, not me. If you can't even imagine a world where the owner of X cares, you're so disconnected from reality that derision the only means of bring you back down to Earth. The bar cannot be any lower.

I can see why the elite view people like you as slaves.

hahaha! That's the most brainwashed gibberish I have read in HN forever, congratulations! You are ready for your neuralink chip.

The site was seriously broken for a long time. And that attracted all kinds of bots, and 'List of 10 Machiavellian things to learn' kind of bots, not to forgot all sorts of other evil bots.

For a long time, the search and trending section was broken. Many times you could not hear anything in a space, empty tweets would show up, tweets would come up with Unix timestamp and therefore sorting was broken. Site would be down a lot of times. Even till date you don't see an ad for a thing you want to buy.

Perhaps the biggest damage is there seems to a significant increase in toxicity platform wide.

>>They have released ton's more features including AI - grok

Compared to most AI products out there, you can't even try their AI product and see if you want to buy subscription.

>>In tech companies, it's not just about headcount, one needs a strong leader to drive company towards greater success like Elon.

Note, code and features are not all there is to a business. Its only natural for us developers to assume the world revolves around us. The reality is actually very different. You need lots of other people to keep a company running.

At this rate Mr Musk won't see return on his investments anytime soon.
