Elon thinks PR is "manipulating the press" and that Tesla is better off spending their time and energy on product development.

I wonder whether, if every hour he is on Twitter was rather spent on FSD, could they have solved by now?

I have to guess that his time on twitter was a deliberate attempt to use social media to manipulate the stock price and he got good at it.

not they aren't fungible

He's not an AI expert, he's a hustler. Time spent on twitter is time not spent pestering people doing the actual work.

Manipulating the press is too out of fashion for Elon. He manipulates people directly from tweeter. No need for intermediates.
