I often find myself thinking about the very long, very enthusiastic podcast I listened to when Musk first made the offer to buy Twitter.

The tech pundits were positively giddy about all the ways that he was going to immediately improve Twitter, getting rid of all the bots and the misinformation. He was set to take it from a $5B company to, well, there's no limit to where it would go with him in charge!

I wonder if those tech insiders think about how wrong they were as much as I do.

@sumpnlikefaith Pundits are immune to scoring.
They see their roles as mostly entertainment. Heaven forbid that people should expect them to be right....

@gshevlin They were so sure, though!

It was all a foregone conclusion.

Doesn't total confidence count for *anything* these days?
