My biggest take away from this saga doesn't have much to do with Twitter. It has everything to do with my imagine of Elon's product building ability.

I used to think that he's some kind of genius who simply makes good business decisions. Now I just think of him as an erratic idealist who doesn't have much of a plan and makes a ton of half baked decisions. It makes me never want to buy a Tesla car because I'm not willing to put my life on the line for a baboon.

Edit: I'll never buy a Tesla after seeing the Twitter saga because Elon could easily make a half-based decision on a key safety feature/hardware without thinking through the repercussions. I would not feel safe owning a Tesla.

It has already happened with their self driving.

Right now he's asking the public to help him identify some guy sitting in a car who he alleges threatened his family somehow. Unclear whether he reported this to the police in any way.

I doubt it, but it's an easy distraction.

Which breaker the ToS about posting PII without consent

Not sure why he don't mix his businesses offers like Amazon does in the Prime with music, movies and delivery.

I wouldn’t be alone who would pay monthly 8$ for a chance to fly to space for instance.

OK but there's also a chance your computer just bursts into flames when you open Twitter

Comedy or tragedy?

I haven't laughed yet and we're in the middle of the second act.
