I'm not a big fan of this. If he wants to help, he knows who to ask, I'm sure they'd take his calls. If he wants to act like a big man on twitter... well he's doing a good job- and that's not really very impressive.

> SpaceX & Boring Co engineers headed to Thailand tomorrow to see if we can be helpful to govt. There are probably many complexities that are hard to appreciate without being there in person.

Major decisions are communicated by CEOs, Presidents, etc on twitter first, welcome to the 21st century.
