SAN FRANCISCO: A fired Twitter product manager said Elon Musk ran the company newly renamed X by instinct not data, surrounded by sycophants with his mood changing unpredictably.
Esther Crawford, whose picture sleeping in a Twitter office late last year made her a viral sensation, shared her thoughts on Wednesday in a lengthy post at X.
“I disagree with many of his decisions and am surprised by his willingness to burn so much down, but with enough money and time, something new and innovative may emerge,” Crawford said in the post.
Crawford joined Twitter when it bought her startup in 2020, before Musk bought the social media platform for US$44 billion.
“In person Elon is oddly charming and he’s genuinely funny,” Crawford said.
“The challenge is his personality and demeanor can turn on a dime going from excited to angry.”
