The author of this article is a moron. He's constantly saying how bad Musk's actions were while describing how everything worked out! Look, guy, there are some big lessons here that just went right past you...

Yeah I thought it was ironic when the author was talking about the lesson Musk somehow missed.. while missing the lesson that it actually worked.

Wow, I would never hire you with such a reckless attitude. “Turned out ok” is not an acceptable excuse for high risk behavior. I think your insult is icing on the cake. GTFO

What would be an "acceptable excuse for high risk behavior" ?

I thought the idea was to learn from past mistakes, not to find scapegoats.

I'm assuming you missed the quote about how Musk said it was a bad decision and it lead to outages? You must have also missed the blantant privacy violations?

From the article:

> The article does note that Musk himself eventually said he shouldn’t have done this and it did cause a fair bit of problems for the site, including the disastrous “Twitter Spaces” where Ron DeSantis tried to launch his Presidential campaign.

I mean, the DeSantis thing was _extremely funny_, and very much a gift to the internet, but I doubt Musk would think of it as 'working out'.

However, even if it _had_ worked out without incident (it did not), it was _still a very bad idea_. If you jump out a third floor window, well, your odds of surviving that are actually _not bad_, but it's generally advisable to take the stairs anyway.
