>I assure you there is a set of people who think the tweet would be permission to hijack a domain. And some of that set overlaps with the group that might accept the $10k challenge.

And then from all those people you'd still need to find someone who 1) would successfully pull it off and 2) be stupid enough to demonstrate this in a damaging manner.

It’s also worth noting that this offer was made to only one person.

Arguably the offer was made to everyone. I don't know about your other point because, like I said in my post I think those people may exist. Perhaps you don't, but, you kind of made the initial statement that it doesn't matter, right? So isn't it on you to prove it?

How so? It’s clearly a tweet to a single individual.
