Do those millions of people have any responsibility for what they do after reading said tweets?

I don't know about the rest of you, but whether Musk eats spinach has nothing to do with whether I will.

Of course they do. But do people in major leadership positions with worldwide reach bear any responsibility for what they say?

Humans are social creatures. I'm willing to bet most of the things you do or say are heavily influenced by what other people do or say. For you, Musk may not be one of those people. But for many, he probably is.
