Shiva seems like a stand-up guy. I would be down for that. He's already somewhat adversarial with Elon though so I believe there may be too much friction there for them to make it work. We'll see though.
The way he tries to bring up that he "invented email" at every chance he has when he definitely did not makes me suspicious of him. Just in this screenshot alone it's mentioned twice. I think he's a paytriot/attention seeker personally. I'm all for looking at his data when he presents it, however him as a person...I don't know if I would trust him to run twitter.
A big ego can be tolerable, but it has to be truly earned.
It's clear Shiva is a bright guy who's done some good work, but I don't think he has enough actual documented successes to have as big a head as he seems to have. I mean, here he is literally suggesting that one of the largest and most influential companies in the world should be handed over to him despite never running a company anything close to it's size or type.
Dr. Shiva ran for Senate in 2020 and was kicked off all social media a couple weeks or so before the election. He was likely cheated out of a win. He then sued the social media companies, representing himself. During discovery he obtained the same documentation Musk just exposed regarding the feds having a direct line to the tech companies in order to request people be shadow banned, suspended and permanently banned. He just didn't get the recognition for it. He definitely has a big ego, but he's actually quite accomplished.
He didn't invent email- that is the point. He was among the first people to use the phrase "electronic mail" but he is not the very first and he has nothing to do with any of the technology that modern email uses.
Even if you ignore that in Shivas own telling of the story it was his boss who actually came up with the idea and told him what to do. Although again, other people were already working on email when that happened.
This man DID NOT invent email. As EVERYONE who was in the early Internet business way back when - knows that ARPANET was created for research and unvierities, and RAY TOMLONSON invented email. Please, not these lies on Christmas.
He's adversarial with everyone. I stopped going to his rallies because he's always attacking Robert Kennedy about minor details. If he get's in a tiff with Musk the fallout might not be worth/
If he doesn't get the job he'll never stop bashing Musk about it. That's for sure.
and if he does get it, he'll get in a tiff with Musk at some point & stirr up all sorts of drama. In Boston he used to draw 100s but now when he has a rally he can't even draw in a dozen & he always blames others.

...some of my best working relationships have been with individuals who I found somewhat adversarial in nature....
As long as there is respect between the adversaries a working relationship like this can be very productive.
...absolute ironclad truth...
Here's Dr. Shiva attacking Trump for nearly 35mn and claiming Trump is part of the cabal.

So eager to follow others, some poor sheep end up falling right off the cliff.
Shiva did not invent email. Tomlinson di. Look it up. Arpanet.

He does seem pretty ego-driven.

They lie about everything.
YES! THAT makes me want to hurl. I totally echo what you said.

The dude doesn't really want the job. He doesn't like Elon.
If he doesn't get the job he'll never stop bashing Musk about it. That's for sure.
and if he does get it, he'll get in a tiff with Musk at some point & stirr up all sorts of drama. In Boston he used to draw 100s but now when he has a rally he can't even draw in a dozen & he always blames others.
He is the qualified applicant.

He's a liar.
