In this episode, we cover as much as we know about what Elon Musk has been doing to optimise Twitter since he bought it in October 2022.
From the decision to purchase, the layoffs and the fast shipping of new products, he's moved faster than any big tech company we've seen recently and often with controversial outcomes.
We're aware that by the time we put this episode out, he would have done even more stuff to make this look dated, but we wanted to try and capture what he's done so far and how effective we think it's been to improve Twitter as a product and cultural phenomenon.

In the episode we'll cover how easy it is to create an offer that your customers can't say no to, knowing that in doing so it will help you make more money from the get go.
As usual, lots of opinions and thoughts about business systems, processes, marketing and startups.
