I wouldn’t love the sort of culture this creates with regards to increasing perception of career risk from team constantly and making it almost impossible to construct longer-term plans or vision, as a general statement, but have some non-zero level of regard for the notion of “Sometimes one needs to radically change cultures in a hurry and the transition period for them may not resemble the new steady state.”
Either way, I think that if pulled off correctly the Twitter transition will be one of the most important experiments done in the history of scaled management. I perceive ‘smart money’ (both literally and metaphorically from the management class) as assigning very low likelihood to success here. I think some smart money has not updated sufficiently on the track record of people confidently predicting Elon Musk will fail.
I think I am slightly better calibrated than smart money in that regard, and find myself in agreement with smart money anyway.
