@mmasnick@mastodon.social This might be my favorite part: "Gerber said he’s considering it but wants to get a clearer idea of what the plan is. 'One could argue he has created value or destroyed value at Twitter. It’s hard to tell at this point,' he said."
Is it, though? Is it really hard to tell?

@edbott@mastodon.social @mmasnick@mastodon.social if you think of value in purely monetary terms, then sure, he’s clearly destroyed billions in value. However, if you have a more expansive view of social value…ok, he has also clearly destroyed value related to his workforce, advertisers and consumers. But on the other hand hasn’t he created some value outside the company while destroying it within?

@edbott@mastodon.social @mmasnick@mastodon.social I suspect if you're being quoted by a reporter, it gets somehow murky, for undefined reasons.
