Imagine if the hacker was a bit more nefarious and hacked Trump's account to say he was launching a first strike attack against Iran or on Musk's account saying he was halting Model S production due to battery defect. The real world ramifications could be immense.

One of those is order of magnitude worse than the other.

...I really hope Musk is keeping his account secure.
