Musk fanboys sound like AI-generated text and Kanye

I'm saying this from the perspective that he made a shitty acquisition and trying to see ways he could consider it as a positive thing.
If I'd had made this acquisition, specially in the circumstances he did it, I'd probably get so depressed that I'd put and end to it all.
I'm not a fanboy, but I'm also not a hater.

It just reads like inane, nonsensical science fiction.

‘Ah yes. We can give your child with locked in syndrome a communications path with the rest of the world, but it can only be through the twitter API. Also his ventilator? Also needs twitter API. Yes, that’s right. His life support and all communication in and out relies on a flimsy message board. Connection outages? Well, it can’t happen. We’ve got starlink on the back of his wheelchair. Tunnels? Oh no, don’t go in tunnels’
He now has the network to connect those people directly to the rest of the world, under his umbrella. Sure, he could have just used (old) Twitter's API, and that's what he'll be using, but it won't be "we (as in 'Neuralink') and Twitter made this happen", but "we (my companies)" made this happen.
I also wonder how useful Twitter's infrastructure could be for machine-to-machine communication, where he certainly could have some uses for it with Tesla and Starlink.
