    “That does leave open the question of Musk, and the way he seemed to meme Tesla into existence, while building a rocket ship on the side…” Meme Tesla into existence? He bought in t…

    Worth noting that around $3M a day of twitter’s losses exist only to pay the debt Elon himself took on. Why would Twitter employees be working to pay for Elon to be CEO rather than…

    Did autocomplete mess up your comment? It looks like it needs some editing.

    It’s not clear why you’re taking about warranties. It’s strange to suggest that bad code is good because it provides a chance for others to fix it. It’s also obviously not true tha…
