But someone recently said he revived the NFT market single-handedly, with people making a bigly 1000% return!

Maybe all his companies are like this, it’s just the first one that’s been so public and shown his true colours.

I’m not going to look for it now, but there was a Twitter thread from last year that kind of talks about this.

Basically, SpaceX and Tesla are companies that grew up with Elon as an early investor, and have learned early on how to contain him. They institutionally have firewalls in place to keep him from wrecking the real work they’re doing, like dedicated Musk-handlers that slow walk his bad ideas until he changes his mind a few days later.

Twitter basically had none of those institutional firewalls, and could not container him with company culture.

Meanwhile, you have the Elon fanboys still pretending Twitter is doing better than it ever has.

One other thought is to use Google Voice.

At least in that case, everything runs through a Google server, rather than through some possibly janky connection between your desktop and phone.

The drawback is that, if you have an existing phone number, you’d have to port it over to Google Voice (or maybe Google Fi can port that number to an actual cell phone; not sure if it can).
