Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

The writing is on the wall. Those who are staying on Reddit despite everything u/spez said recently are literally asking to be shit on and will fully deserve it.

Even if he actually thought that, why the fuck would you say that right now when a large amount of your community is revolting against you? Comments like these are only further destabilizing a bad situation. If I was on the board, and even if I fully supported the changes, I would have him removed for adding more fuel to the fire.

The article mentions him and Elon having chatted a handful of times. I guess he's probably sucking up to Elon as he thinks he might be able to secure some cash from him in the form of an investment or a merger with Twitter.
