Is Elon Musk building in public?

What do you think? ๐Ÿ˜…

    Lol. I think that's his main mode of operating - announce X publicly and the let the team figure out how to build it.

      Except, they never do.

    Haha yes! I would say so. It's very public! But he doesn't understand his users and customers (advertisers) at all, so it's backfiring on him. He's publicly building the wrong product.

    But also will he enable indie hackers or take us out 1 by 1?

    I saw that they are already considering building analytics so people donโ€™t pay for 3rd party.

      That's always a danger of building on top of other platforms.

        Do you think thereโ€™ll be another social platform that will challenge Twitter now?

    Arguably, he is destroying in public

      haha, perfect

    Yes, definitely. And it's super fun to have a front row seat to one of the best company builders of our era (regardless of whatever you think of his personality) doing it on a totally different scale.

    Lots for indie hackers to learn if you're paying attention.

    Kind of... With Twitter I guess I can see what you're saying. I'm not sure it's really a proven strategy though. Businesses to some extent, are based upon secrets.
