It is actually pretty amusing to know that even as an absolute nobody you can and will easily, and even completely unintentionally, hurt the feelings of the richest man on earth to such a degree that he will think more about you than you have ever thought about him.

Update: And he even deleted the Tweet now!

This just gets more and more embarrassing for Elon with every passing day.

Horrible joke aside, highlighting a competitor is never a good strategic move for a CEO.

He follows up with a comment about a screenshot being so dirty. This is just gross coming from a CEO.

I'm starting to really wonder about a tin-foil theory that he wants to kill Twitter and have it file bankruptcy, then he can somehow write-off his investment and discharge the bank loans. Maybe that is actually plan B since plan A (back out of the deal, keep the $8B from selling his Tesla stock) didn't work out the way he expected.

He mentions in that thread buying Youtube. Would Google/Alphabet part out Youtube? He also mentions bringing back dislikes. They never actually went away, but now an addon is required to view them. [1] It looks like that addon shares youtube usage data with another domain.

[Edit] - Seems I am referencing fake tweets, which is a relief.

With this level of cluelessness, we have to be extra thankful that he cannot become president of USA.
