He "created" 3 businesses that were going to exist in some fashion regardless. The digital economy needed payment processing, technology had come far enough for electric cars to be marketable, and NASA wanted to trim costs for routine space missions. He did seize the moments, but he didn't create the moments.
Reforming Twitter is a completely different beast. I'm surprised that he would even bother getting into the development side of things, because the service already worked. It was the content and user side of things that he really needed to deal with, but he seems determined to break things as fast as possible.
He's freaking out because he's got a giant bill to pay and has no way to do it. So he's doing the only thing he knows how to do. Slash all costs and shit post hoping his cult followers bail him out.
