[LINK] Musk rates esthetics over functionality

[Jan Whitaker]

This was a really dumb move. I just experienced it for the first time 
yesterday. If you want to advise the reader of the point of the article, 
you need to grab the headline yourself now and use up limited 
characters. If you don't do this, the only thing that appears is the 
image that goes along with the URL, which is often ambiguous.

Why Musk thinks he's a communicator, I'll never understand. He isn't 
even a very good businessman, obviously, since he spent billions on a 
working platform then essentially destroyed his subscriber base - the 
paying ones and the non-paying eyes the paying ones wanted.
