Leonard Pitts: ElonMusk, the world’s richest child, bought Twitter and didn’t have a clue what to do with it.
In this Dec. 1, 2020, photo, SpaceX owner and Tesla CEO Elon Musk arrives on the red carpet for the Axel Springer media award, in Berlin.For Christmas, one year, my folks got my kid brother a tank.
Last month, the world’s richest child spent $44 billion to purchase Twitter. Apparently, he had not the first idea what to do with it. So he cut the wires. Meantime, Musk welcomed trolls and arsonists back to the platform -- use of the N-word promptly jumped a reported 500%. He also fired half his workforce and threatened to fire the rest unless they vowed “to be extremely hardcore” -- whatever that means. Now Twitter is hemorrhaging workers, users and advertisers amid fears it could implode any minute. Obviously, there was never a plan here; Musk put the same forethought into this purchase as you or I would into buying a tin of mints.
