If Twitter goes down, it just shows that all those people were incompetent, and he should have fired them.

This should not be controversial. Startups should become profitable not weapons wielded by rich investors that disrupt society while they get richer.

Uber and AirBnB got rich by being subsidized and breaking regulations. Uber is now just a normal taxi company except its also national duolopoly with Lyft. DoorDash and Saucy sold me on grabbing groceries: except now they don’t have half the items they advertise and make money by sink costs (fine I’ll settle for X.). My orders are wrong or cold and even when I get a completely wrong order door dash takes a few (Uber eats is the same)

Our entire economy is a bloated and artificial mess because of VCs pumping companies and money being so free there was no risk.


> Uber and AirBnB got rich

Uber never got rich. They are still blowing billons of VC money every year and realistically there's not really a path to profit when laws and regulations have to be obeyed.


Uber's founders got plenty rich.


Punishment for whom?
