I am livid that this acquisition has put me in the position of defending Elon Musk, but people are being silly. Twitter has seen more movement on improving the core product this week than it has in the past five years, and for the first time that I can remember an active user is in charge of the site. Musk hasn't even adjusted his CEO chair back to his preferred angle and people are already writing post-mortems like this about his tenure. There needs to be more chill.
Evaluating whether the proposed changes to the site are for the better or not requires waiting a bit to let them actually happen. The complete freakout around Twitter in the media, most of whom have panicked the way a junkie would if forced to find a new heroin dealer, is not helping things. Neither is the online pity party taking place exclusively on the very site that is supposed to be dying.
