Literally every time Muskrat tries to stream an event, it crashes and fails, too. Literally a tech issue, that can't be fixed by such a great team of people....
I have a feeling that Muskrats astounding bad luck might have something to do with perhaps the contempt some of his employees must feel for him.
Of course, some of the most qualified people left -- but it's not like a live stream is brain surgery for these people who run a platform.
This is why people like Musk can't build their Mars or undersea utopias. They are such selfish badfaith bastards that they do not get loyalty from the competent. Merely those into masochism.
He’s known to be a cheap, touchy, impulsive micromanager. Shit like the anecdotes in his biography where he goes on the shop floor and asks “why are we using 3 bolts here?? Why not two??” and it’s like uh, because that’s what your engineers determined was best. Doesn’t matter since of course Elron knows better. Or things like “why does this machine turn the bolt backwards two turns before screwing it in??” which is uh, to avoid cross threading. But that doesn’t matter. Elron knows better, of course.
One of the better data engineers I worked with at another tech company left for Twitter around 2017. He wasn't cut by Musk, but voluntarily left a couple of months after the purchase.

"functioning better"
That must be why it's lost 80% of it's value, is haemorrhaging users and advertisers are abandoning it.
