“I think we’re seeing the unwinding not of a company but of a person,” @profgalloway says of Elon Musk and Twitter. “I think this is an individual who has demonstrated a total lack of grace, has no guardrails around him, and is going to see his wealth probably cut in half.”

Of course, 5 seconds with any of the above would make it clear what the differences are, but it's so much easier to hate people we don't know
