Claims in an interview that he is qualified to handle a social media company on the internet because he has “put internet in space”
Buys a financially struggling company for way too much money
Dismantles everything that made it attractive
Insults and fires the most competent employees who are trying to stop him from destroying the platform
Doesn’t pay the employees he fired owed severance, further discouraging the best of the workforce from ever applying to work there
Turned it into something so repulsive and toxic that the users and advertisers start to leave
Told the advertisers to “go fuck themselves”
Tried to sue the advertisers into returning, further discouraging any new advertiser from ever doing business with him
Destroys the brand recognition by renaming it to a letter of the alphabet he personally likes but nobody else gives a crap about
Abuses his admin powers to steal a handle with the name he wanted from its owner, further eroding the user’s trust in him handling the platform
Continues ruining the platform, turning it into his personal soap box to push his (toxic) ideas and abuses his powers to reduce the visibility of those he doesn’t like while claiming to be radically pro-free speech.
Alternative platforms have gained momentum and have reached critical mass and will soon become the new default platform people will flock to. High profile users leave.
Whines and bitches about the company not making any money.
Hey guys, I’m starting to think that this guy’s fortune has absolutely nothing to do with his skills at running a business
