> It seems that he doesn't understand that he needs to scale revenue upwards
This is exactly the kind of attack that I find so...interesting.
You think Elon Musk, of PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and many more, doesn't know that a business has to make money?
> someone who at least understands that "LESS PROFIT BAD, MORE PROFIT GOOD, ME NOT PISS OFF IMPORTANT CUSTOMER."
Yeah, you really believe it. You even said it like a caveman to illustrate how fundamentally simple the concept is, but you still have the opinion that the richest man on the planet who has founded many successful companies doesn't understand caveman logic.
It's baffling.
Here's one totally made up scenario that can explain it: Elon Musk buys twitter, has his lackeys run a financial analysis, and they decided they need to do XYZ things to make it profitable, which will harm short-term revenues to the tune of higher long-term revenues.
I made that up just now, believe it or not. You can try it too. You can invent many more plausible situations than "Elon Musk is dumber than a caveman." You're not inside Twitter, or inside Musk's brain, to have any idea why he's doing what he's doing. But "RICH GUY DUMB, ME SMARTER!" is the conclusion, I guess.
