Yes, Steve built an entire bogus company (Next) just to engineer his takeover of the company he founded. Without that level of intelligence and focus, Apple would have died in 1997.

I just hope the cult of Elon will at least tone down. There’s too many cult of personalities around, none of them make any sense. Elon is very successful, but he’s one weird cookie - he needs a proper reality check.
Renee Outlined how Steve Jobs did it by being Operational Strict and non-nepotistic. Elon is aimless and arguably his cynical sense of bureaucracy and efficacy in management is arguably contrived. Same with how all his cult followers see progress and capitalism. You guys could never untangle your fascination with Technology and Societal progress with yourselves. You guys are in a weird constant state of Techie Solipsism.
@@agexax13 what? I can’t decipher your two last sentences.. I guess “you guys” don’t include me, but I’d like to point out that a healthy amount of selfishness and self awareness is necessary to function as an individual in any group. At least I haven’t transcended beyond my physical constraints and function as a part of a group consciousness. So I have to take care of my vessel and only exist in its limitations. :)
Rene, I really valued your intellect, foresight and wisdom in providing product and technology reviews. You stood way above all the other RUclips creators in assimilating vast amounts of technical minutia and presenting it in an elegant manner that was both very useful and enjoyable. Then you joined RUclips in some capacity and started creating content that’s either cynical or highly opinionated or both. Thereby reducing yourself to a typical RUclipsr that creates content that’s meant to agitate viewers emotions, for the sake of growing rating and subscribers. Get out of the mud of countless RUclips editorials and back on the high road of providing intelligent information that your audience will once again find useful.
Steve was a supremely competent businessman with an extremely sharp eye and taste for product design who just so happened to have an interest and passion for personal computing. But he was a business leader first and foremost who knew how to assemble and lead an organization. Elon Musk is no Steve Jobs, not even close.
I think we need to collectively obliterate the idea of “brand safety” and solve a lot of these problems around advertising. If someone is mugged in front of a coca-cola billboard, that’s not on coca-cola. Same thing if Pepsi decides to advertise right next to them or a politician puts up a campaign ad. That should transfer just as much to the digital space.
There’s a difference between a car crash happening near a picture of your face, and you running up to a car crash to put your picture on the wreckage. I’m sure a lot of wives have been beaten with a can of Bud Light nearby. Not the same as Bud Light saying “Hey, I don’t want to advertise my product on your domestic violence video.”
Both of your examples are still because you’re associating stuff around an ad with an ad, rather than the content of the ad itself. If bud light was advertising being abusive, or Tyson was advertising a Jewish guy who’s normally kosher breaking those rules, that would for sure be offensive and inappropriate and bad marketing. But if a billboard / ad was randomly allocated near those things, it has nothing to do with Budweiser or Tyson. Ya advertisers should be able to target specific places for their ads, and if a place is just a really bad fit (like potentially bacon outside a synagogue) they should be allowed to not advertise there so they get their money’s worth. But that’s totally different from judging the company’s actions based on something that randomly happens to be in its vicinity.
comparing apples vs oranges.. not really productive I think.. First to fix a company you have to get rid of the trash and twitter has alot of trash and bloat. For a service that doesn't provide much it has a lot of employees. Honestly if it goes under who cares just a horrible platform anyways.
he just bought the company like two weeks ago. I'm going to hold off on my "expert opinion" about what Elon should do for another week or so. lol. maybe we need to wait and see what emerges from the chaos. When Steve returned to Apple, every decision wasn't posted to twitter and scrutinized by youtube experts. Different times.
The difference is, Steve *returned* to Apple, and returned from Next, another computer hardware company. Twitter isn't rocket science, so brining in rocket scientists from SpaceX isn't going to work, because it is a very different skillset.
Rene, why dont apple do an iPhone with a fingerprint reader on the back and a full screen on the front. Face ID is ok but its not a deal breaker for me. I also hate that fact that I have to lift my phone up to unlock to read a message. Full screen and fingerprint reader please.
True... But Jobs Stuck to what he knew.. And thats one thing about Musk I respect, he doesn't, But this really does show its more the business prospect re Twitter , not changing the world, as He has re Tesla and SpaceX.. I think , His out of his sphere , as with twitter , his not breaking ground, his adopting it...
Steve Jobs and Elon Musk are not comparable. So try not to do so. Until now nobody dared to really change Twitter. I have a Twitter account for more than a decade, and hardly used it. Now I’m much more interested. All I hear is that Twitter will remain dependent on advertisements. This is because many have shallowly thought about the possibilities. In order to make these possibilities a reality, you have to make fundamental changes and risk breakage. Elon just started; give the man some time. Wait and see what will have been changed in 3 years time. Twitter will be unrecognisable, with many features and it will be profitable.
Typically, Rene has some interesting insight and I’ve listened to him here and elsewhere for years. I don’t see that here - first few minutes was a stream of “sayings”, I’d prefer to hear some thoughts on specific moves he made and why or why not they solve problems. It’s an opinion commentary - not sure I need to hear that
People from NEXT argued, people that remained at Twitter don't argue?? C'mon Rene, you can do better than that. No need to go with the flow with this one. Let time tell its story. It's too early anyway.
I think it’s great to hear some argumenta afainst Elon, sure. But honestly, Rene - you can do better. You know why he had to fire most management. And you know Steve replaced the whole board of directors at Apple as a condition for his return. And you know that Elon makes plans. That basically all that he does.
@@EVPaddy That was sort of my point! Although i kind of hope he will be on the first martian expedition. At least that would shut him up! In the relatively short term!!
We don’t let telco’s control what we can or can’t say on the phone no matter how abhorrent it might be. And we don’t blame and advertiser if something we don’t like happens near their ad. People need to stop acting like the digital space is any different in those sorts of regards.
Brilliant take on this. And I’d say one of your most important analyses ever! I’d say Elon’s only true peer is Elizabeth Holmes. If he deepened his voice a notch everyone would recognize his grifts to humanity.
It’s unfair. Who knows how jobs would behave had he had twitter. After all, this was a guy who engaged in a screaming match with a reporter over email, something most CEOs wouldn’t do back in those days.
Since when has Apple been the gold standard for what a company should look like? I think many would disagree with that mindset. Why don't we let Elon have some time to do things before judging if his turnaround at Twitter is a success or not? I think it's a bit premature.
Elon’s actions since he took over seem impulsive and like he is acting without a business plan. I’m not sure how he can claw his way back from firing core staff who keep twitter functioning as a platform, especially when competent engineers are in such high demand.
Well, just cause he’s not doing it the way you wanna him to do it doesn’t mean it’s the wrong way. Elon is fast on everything he does. not afraid to tackle the hardest most challenging situation. bite off way more than he can chew and fail at it I mean, that’s just part of who he is. All of his companies focuses on having five exceptional engineers instead of 500 average engineers. He removes all the entropy all the middle-management a lot of the barriers to get stuff done and then works on focusing those high-level talent towards a very specific goal. is that for every company? Probably not, but that’s how he likes to run his so OK. Not sure where the yes men thing is coming from, he definitely hates yes men. Look, there’s plenty to criticize. Yes he’s been handling it terribly. No idea why he hasn’t addressed the needs of the advertisers. But I don’t think there’s anyway to sit here and say it’s the wrong way until six or 12 months from now to see where they’re at.
People forget Without Microsoft bailing out Apple There was no apple today Steve managed to convince Bill help apple And that's the biggest thing he's done in his career He simply told him that without Apple Microsoft would be declared a monopoly At that time, Apple was Microsoft's only relevant competitor
You forget , MS stole the Mouse GUI idea from the Prototype Mac they had access to.. No... Apple didn't invent it, They did a stock swap with Xerox.... And implemented the Idea , and brought it to the masses.... However, MS investment paid off right? A platform people bought MS software products on.
@@Rhythmattica Xerox created the GUI components but Apple created a coherent user experience. MS started off copying Xerox (Win1 & 2) but rapidly switched to copying Apple - eventually feature for future but the Supreme Court couldn't see that.
@@blackbishop7442 he's trying to diminish SJ's tech industry legacy by painting the Quicktime court settlement as a loan. Because it was a loan which created some of the most significance tech products in the last 50-years, not creative genius. Probably an accountant.
You only see the millions and not think about the trip that got Steve there… Elon is as capable as any other to run Twitter and when you see the millions with Twitter in a couple of quarters, what will you say then?
I like your videos but they are always very negative. I'd love to see you tackle positive topics every now and then. I know negativity drives views, which drives ads, which makes money -- but you're a smart guy and I'd enjoy seeing a positive approach or topic from you every once and a while.
Yeah this video isn’t going to age well. I think Elon’s acquisition of Twitter was clumsy at best and horrendously overpriced at worst. But I’ll wait to see what he does to the platform before casting judgement. He has 1000X track record for his startups even a 10X would be really impressive for TWTR
I think Elon is socially inept and maybe on the spectrum. He may have a lot of great technical ideas and successfully bringing them to market, but social is a very strange science that is not intuitive.
I regret your bringing politics into your channel. Why are you so concerned about Twitter, now that Elon Musk owns it? You don't like him? They were losing money and getting nowhere for years. Maybe Musk can actually make them profitable! And bring back free speech, instead of the covert censoring. Who would be against that? Because people don't always agree with you? If you don't like it, just don't use it. Problem solved. Anyway, I'm not watching any more of your channel now that you've gone political.
It's literally just making him less wealthy and worst case scenario will make him leave some of his jobs w/ majority of his $ intact to go F around w/ other things. It's not his downfall.
Dude! Stop doing things that make people think you're paid by a politician or a rival company to make such videos. This is your second in a row. Stick to tech, please.
@@todddammit4628 Exactly! These people are really so personally butthurt about Elon getting off to a terrible start to the point theyre not even making sense. Twitter is Tech. As if the man cant fail at anything? He's omnipotent?
how did he even become so rich with the temperment he has. like don't you have to have cool head, knowledge, and a lot of luck to glue everything together. i understand he has luck, but what does it even glue?
Maybe in some parts of the world, but the US has extremely low social mobility, so basically all it takes to be wealthy is to have wealthy parents. Don’t fall for the myth that the wealthy in the US earned their wealth and influence. A handful did, of course, but as a group, not so much.
@@dupre7416 we Watch the same video, the difference is your ideology and where you get the information, that’s all, same problem with the well thought video. One company did that and Elon is trying to save free speech. Is a matter of free thinking against eco chambers
@@hcs4life21 free speech use to have consequences for one side only; that’s the whole point. According to Elon reasons he is trying to make it fair for everyone. That means he is fighting powers that Jobs never had to, and that’s not in the video
Well I guess the king of the run-on sentence has spoken lol. Now Rene, why not stay on Twitter and call Elon out when you see something you don't agree with? You see, he does respect YOUR right to free speech. Who knows, it might just turn out to be a little better.
Twitter is a toxic app. It was toxic before Elon, and is still toxic now. It brings out the worst in people. It’s toxic regardless which side of the political spectrum you lean. It’s horrible really. The biggest thing Elon can be faulted for with Twitter is he made radical changes before he really understood how the app worked from the inside. Let’s be honest, Twitter is basically a toy or hobby for Elon, if he plays with it too rough and breaks it… he doesn’t care! He’s one of the richest men on the planet and can absorb the loss.
Why do you think Twitter is a toy? Just because you can’t see it’s potential? Do you really think that toxic content would be gone in a week? These first actions were to shock the system and get things moving. I think Elon has succeeded in that. Next: demolish, refurbish, build and extend. See what he’ll achieve in 1, 2 and 3 years.
"A driven opportunist surrounded by yes people"? Rene, please. Take a step back. Love him or hate him, there is no denying he has fundamentally changed the auto industry AND the space industry. To claim he's an opportunist shows you are either hawking for clicks or just don't know what you're talking about. And considering all of his success, I am certainly not going to act like- less than a month into his owning Twitter- that he's failed. It's beneath you to say such things. But maybe, in your new role, you have to be "Hot-Take Rene" to be relevant. Meanwhile, somewhere in Texas, Elon is making plans that will continue to change human behavior.
I don’t think we are qualified enough (or have enough money) to comment on this matter. Elon has proven to be confusing. I be seeing how this affects stocks.
one thing that you can say about Steve Jobs was that he approached his return to Apple with a well thought out plan of attach.
Is this a play on words or did you mean plan of attack? Maybe I’m missing something 😂
Apple wasn’t threatening Democracies. Twitter as a platform is.
Then his pancreas was like nah brah gonna take a nap
Yes, Steve built an entire bogus company (Next) just to engineer his takeover of the company he founded. Without that level of intelligence and focus, Apple would have died in 1997.
When Elon said he was bringing comedy to Twitter I did not expect it to be so literal. Everything he has done has been a laugh riot!
It would be if it weren’t such a serious problem for everyone, including our democracy.

@@todddammit4628 Exactly! These people are really so personally butthurt about Elon getting off to a terrible start to the point theyre not even making sense. Twitter is Tech. As if the man cant fail at anything? He's omnipotent?
“Shut up and dribble. Shut up and do gymnastics.”
You Laura Ingraham types are all the same.
I can see Rene is still going strong with propaganda. I guess the cheques are coming in correctly
Propaganda? Dude, it’s just an opinion video. Last time I checked, free speech still exists.
Look at all the Elon bros flooding the comments, shilling for a troll.
interesting to how this and every other commentary age
how did he even become so rich with the temperment he has. like don't you have to have cool head, knowledge, and a lot of luck to glue everything together.
i understand he has luck, but what does it even glue?
Maybe in some parts of the world, but the US has extremely low social mobility, so basically all it takes to be wealthy is to have wealthy parents. Don’t fall for the myth that the wealthy in the US earned their wealth and influence. A handful did, of course, but as a group, not so much.
What an unfortunate video… if you don’t know the truth just don’t say anything.
@@dupre7416 we Watch the same video, the difference is your ideology and where you get the information, that’s all, same problem with the well thought video. One company did that and Elon is trying to save free speech. Is a matter of free thinking against eco chambers
@@alvarocast037 Free speech has consequences. Elon is doing his best to remove those consequences.
@@hcs4life21 free speech use to have consequences for one side only; that’s the whole point. According to Elon reasons he is trying to make it fair for everyone. That means he is fighting powers that Jobs never had to, and that’s not in the video
@@alvarocast037 No, Elon wants to make it legal to the internet’s equivalent of yelling ‘FIRE’ in a crowded theatre.
Well I guess the king of the run-on sentence has spoken lol. Now Rene, why not stay on Twitter and call Elon out when you see something you don't agree with? You see, he does respect YOUR right to free speech. Who knows, it might just turn out to be a little better.
Twitter is a toxic app. It was toxic before Elon, and is still toxic now. It brings out the worst in people. It’s toxic regardless which side of the political spectrum you lean. It’s horrible really.
The biggest thing Elon can be faulted for with Twitter is he made radical changes before he really understood how the app worked from the inside.
Let’s be honest, Twitter is basically a toy or hobby for Elon, if he plays with it too rough and breaks it… he doesn’t care! He’s one of the richest men on the planet and can absorb the loss.
Why do you think Twitter is a toy? Just because you can’t see it’s potential?
Do you really think that toxic content would be gone in a week? These first actions were to shock the system and get things moving. I think Elon has succeeded in that.
Next: demolish, refurbish, build and extend. See what he’ll achieve in 1, 2 and 3 years.
I will care about this just as soon as Elon skips chemotherapy for his pancreatic cancer and has kale smoothies and tantric yoga instead
I so wish that you had bought Twitter...... 🤩
"A driven opportunist surrounded by yes people"? Rene, please. Take a step back. Love him or hate him, there is no denying he has fundamentally changed the auto industry AND the space industry. To claim he's an opportunist shows you are either hawking for clicks or just don't know what you're talking about. And considering all of his success, I am certainly not going to act like- less than a month into his owning Twitter- that he's failed.
It's beneath you to say such things. But maybe, in your new role, you have to be "Hot-Take Rene" to be relevant. Meanwhile, somewhere in Texas, Elon is making plans that will continue to change human behavior.
The best description of what is going on at Twitter I've seen. Rather chilling to read the comments from all the brainwashed Musk fanboys.
I don’t think we are qualified enough (or have enough money) to comment on this matter. Elon has proven to be confusing. I be seeing how this affects stocks.
You seem overly salty about Musk kicking the lefties out of twitter..
And you seem overly condescending by making this political.
Oooops, your lefty bent is finally showing. It's is a shame to see it from you. Oh Well. BTW, He has only owned it for two weeks.
Whatever happened to “free speech, even for those you disagree with?”
He ruined it
I do not know how elon musk has the time for this while also running tesla
@@ConsoleCombat Not sure. Never heard that
@@ConsoleCombat as per Google Elon Musk removed as Tesla chairman, but will remain CEO in US$40 million settlement after tweet
@@ConsoleCombat But if he’s CEO of tesla, how does he have time for Twitter
Twitter needs some air freshener for that new musky smell that rode in with the wind.
It's been a month and things are running better than ever 🙂 maybe he did know what he was doing
If by "better than ever" you mean "slowly breaking" than yeah, it's going really well.
8th.
Lost all respect for Musk
