I know most of y’all have fully abandoned Twitter, but good lord if he actually does this (which is not guaranteed mind you) a LOT of vulnerable people are going to get hurt.

He’s really not clever or competent. From what i understand the only reason tesla and space-x can function is that they’ve developed proceedures for keeping him distracted and steering him away from things he can break, and even that is a constant challenge. With twitter there was no time to learn how to manage him, he just smashed through the wall, shit on the rug, and set the drapes on fire.
SpaceX has the added constraints of being a NASA contractor. For example, even though Crew Dragon was designed and built by SpaceX, has to strictly follow NASA safety and reliability specifications. NASA has a huge amount of oversight into their operations even though they’re technically a private company. Which is as it should be.
That’s what I was wondering, because he’s obviously not a smart person but things like SpaceX seem to basically function, and if he ran those the same as Twitter it’d literally be headlines like “SpaceX fires all its rockets directly into the ground for no reason” lol
SpaceX did blow up their own launch pad so badly that they’re getting sued.
IIRC that was the direct result of Elon demanding that they ignore certain safety procedures or something. Can’t remember the details though but I read it somewhere.
I seem to remember about 2 rockets went waaaay off course and had to be destroyed before causing further damage. It took them about 10 years before the self landing it started to work out
