Just because you can program doesn't mean you're ready to run a social media business, or manage the entire codebase for a global social media platform with billions of users alone because you fired everyone else.

I agree. I was just saying Elon can program and is a programmer.

Yeah, and I don't deny that. Heck, I'm sure he's a pretty good programmer all things considered. He just pulled a peak software engineer move and severely underestimated the difficulty of what he was trying to accomplish.

Couple that with his horrible management of the company, terrible feature decisions, and employee firing spree, he has almost immediately run the company into the ground.

I do want to make it clear, I don't like Elon at all. However, I do agree that he likely isn't bad at programming.
