In my experience there are often executives in charge of a big program and they are the ones that often have to wrestle it to the ground and are heavily involved and have the political power to remove obstacles.

Then there are “project management office” types that run around with gant charts and spreadsheets and ask people when their milestone will be met.

There are a lot more of the latter than the former.

A colleague of mine used to call them project management bunnies. That was politically incorrect even then.

Bunnies..... coffee everywhere. I love it. Most of them are whiny little worrywarts. Tracking things is all well and good. But on almost every project it eventually comes down to whether or not you can instill fear in one or more team members. Methodology does not negate human nature.

LOL, I love this. Mainly because I very very very much couldn't care less if Twitter goes away. But also Musk's track record helps defend his catalytic approach to fix a bloated company.

Elon is drunk.

Can't spell "Kathy" and Jordan"

At least he got "Bee" right.

Democracy!

2 million votes in and Reinstate Trump is winning 60/40

It's as if the guy never loses.

Fake news!
Hacked accounts!
Bot accounts galore!
Lots of foreign votes, foreign influence!
No traceable paper ballots!
No government issued picture ID!
No signature check!

Will he come back? Or will he feel the need not to admit failure of Truth Social?

[Axtremus]

Will his return lift the morale of the remaining Twitter employees?

Both of them will be elated.

Probably speculation, but I read this on a blog:
