However unlike Google, CloudFlare doesn't have a history of killing off products just as users begin to adapt to them.

Apparently they've hired an intern level designer then fired them after 2.5 weeks, once they handed in the design proposal.

Over half of his enterprises have folded. Including companies that he bought up.

He's an idea guy and that's it. And even that is more credit than what's due - he's got superficial ideas at best.

The one thing that sets him apart from the average Joe with a failed business is that he's got the capital to try over and over again.

It's even worse than that.

Musk is practically stuck in a 13yo's mindset. The golden spoon has been sticking out of his arse since birth, but of course momma and poppa will make little Elmo believe he's a genius because he has... gasp... ideas.

So they push a shitton of money into his education and ideas, and of course he gets stuck in the typical preteen daydreaming phase of being a genius billionaire who can never be wrong. The money allows him to surround himself with people who actually KNOW how to deal with stuff - including making sure he can't screw things up. And that's how the whole Musk Management department of SpaceX was practically born.

But now Twitter is a different story, all his safety nets are gone, and it's all on him. Of course he fumbles it big time.

Simply said, yes, he's an absolute moron. With more money than common sense or logic or talent or knowledge or... Okay this list could go on for a while, I think it's best to stop here.

"Made a technology"

Did they actually make anything, or did the CEO just patent an idea without ever putting it in production?

Because latter would be the textbook description of patent trolls. An idea is just an idea, if you can't execute it, the patent should be null and void.

On another note I have to say that such an obvious solution of "moving content from a small screen to the big screen" should hardly be patentable. It's quite literally just RPC, which has been in use in various shapes and forms for over 60 years.

Gotta love the good ole tolerance paradox
