Elon Musk suspended @lopezlinette from Twitter after years of critical reporting on his companies.

In a new piece, she lays out the Musk playbook of exploiting workers while building a cult following at his companies. These tactics aren’t new, but they won’t work at Twitter.

Here's the Musk playbook: Enter a field with very little competition. Claim that your new company will solve a massive, global problem or achieve a seemingly impossible goal. Raise money from a fervent group of true believers and keep them on the hook with flashy, half-baked product ideas. Suck up billions from the government. Underpay, undervalue, and overwork your employees. Repeat.



Linette Lopez shows that Elon Musk hasn’t made a sudden change. He’s always been this way, regardless of what former boosters like Kara Swisher want you to believe. They were just happy to ignore it for access while journalists like Lopez did the work. businessinsider.com/elon-musk-busi…



@elonmusk The government paid billions to support Tesla and SpaceX. And still is. Chinas government is key to Teslas success. Just curious: how can and should we believe you are trustworthy without full transparency on your side?


Kann mir vorstellen, dass das so stimmt.

The FBI pulled hundreds of agents off financial crime to War on Terror stuff in the 00's, resulting in missed signs of the financial crisis, incentives to invent terror plots. Now tons get assigned to social media so they inundate Twitter w/ takedown requests for joke accounts.
