one thing i remember from organizational theory and general best practice in M&A is that you want to make sure to disturb things as much as possible and create breaks in continuity in the people who know the most about the company you just overpaid for

firing the CEO, CFO and Head of Legal Policy is fantastic...

tbh i doubt this makes twitter as a company/investment worse in any way. though to some extent that is because it is difficult to imagine it worse.

of course the general counsel of 10 years was also fired

From Bloomberg

quote:

Sean Edgett, who has been general counsel at Twitter since 2012, according to people familiar with the matter. Edgett was escorted out of the building, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public.

I mean, yes you clearly want to have institutional knowledge when it comes to the legal situation of a company you just bought… BUT… that guy made Elon look bad in court.

Seriously, getting destroyed in a court case and then having an opportunity to employ the lawyer that lead the team which so thoroughly trounced you would normally be a good thing. You now have a much better legal team working for you than the idiots you previously hired. But not if you’re Elon Musk! Better to have idiots working for you, because it makes you look smarter.

I would not be in the slightest bit surprised if his other stuff (spacex etc) is actually being cross funded on short term revolving debt or something

I think it's well understood that much of musk's companies are massively intertwined in debt and stock deals he orchestrated. Tesla and space x are the only ones with actual "money" that he would routinely siphon from for the dumb poo poo he does, ie nueralink and boring company. He also massively relies on those companies resources to do much of the public facing big things boring company did.

Apparently a lot of the loans are being secured by Elon's Tesla stock. So if Twitter goes bankrupt we get to see them shuttered and get to see Morgan Stanley become the majority owner of Tesla.

Hard Fork did an emergency podcast about Elon's Twitter purchase. The most interesting fact:

Every Twitter employee who gets RSUs is due for their next grant on November 1st. It'll be an enormous expense. For every employee that Elon fires before the 1st, he'll save a bunch of money. So everyone there has a sword of Damocles over their head that is likely to fall on Monday.
