Musk's management style worsening digital polarization: Bill Gates

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has offered his views on Elon Musk's management style on Twitter and said that a "seat-of-the-pants" approach is "worsening digital polarisation", reports India today.

Twitter is "stirring things up", not exactly in the best way, likely because Musk is taking decisions on his own or by Twitter polls. A "seat-of-the-pants" style refers to taking decisions based on judgment and feelings without planning, he said.

In an interview with the Financial Express, Bill Gates said that social media platforms need to focus on reducing riots and tackle posts on misinformation such as the safety of vaccines or masks.

Elon Musk may have planned some of the features before completing the acquisition in late October, but over the last few weeks, he's been relying on Twitter polls for some key changes. This includes Musk's own future as the Twitter CEO, which users want to change, and riving old suspended account of former US President Donald Trump.
