Elon Musk-owned social media company X could lose as much as $75 million in advertising revenue by the end of the year as dozens of major brands pause their marketing campaigns, the New York Times reported on Friday.
True, and pay people much smarter and otherwise more capable to do the actual work required for making him money.
That’s the main reason why the whole Twitter thing has been such a dumpster fire: he’s taking a hands on approach rather than just pretending to by taking credit for the work of other people.
The fact that the nature of a social media company means that most of his mistakes and desperate attempts to rectify them are much more public sure doesn’t help either, given his narcissism…

That’s intense, its not like he has any kind of track record with that, does he? I dunno, I thought he was always already all of those things and worked 120-hour weeks “running” several companies one-man-show style like Nathan Fielder or James Franco('s Roast)?
Every billionaire claims that it’s all due to hard work, but their “work” is mostly just meetings where they get to just spitball bullshit that doesn’t even have to make any sense.
2-hour “business lunch” where you discuss business for 5 minutes? That’s work to a billionaire.
18 holes with your business buddies, whether that means golf or a meeting at a brothel? Work.
Tweeting from a building belonging to the company? Work.
Playing a ridiculous Elden Ring bulld in the office? Work.
Shouting at your ex wife while on company premises? Work.
Its funny cuz when I want to eat something tasty and have it brought to me and be able to focus on something else in the process, I call it a power lunch. I always get NOTHING done lol.
I totally will get something done the next time, no doubt about that. I have the track record to prove it /s
Elon’s not personally designing battery chemistry or running aerodynamics simulations on bodywork at Tesla. He certainly isn’t bolting them together, though that would explain the poor finish quality I keep hearing about.
The leadership of a company of any significant size can only ever be doing a small plurality of the work at most, and can usually get away with much less than that. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to outwork the hundreds or thousands of employees that are actually making the company most of its money.

Nobody’s ever been truly productive during, right before or right after lunch. It just can’t be done 🤷
