#12I don't know how we can all believe a lot of the saga and news that is coming out of Twitter. After all the misinformation and trolls (pretending to be laid off employees) and culture of misinformation and manipulation we can trust much of the media coming out on Twitter.

#13Can we now, at long last, kill the myth that Elon Musk is a business genius?
I realized Elon wasn't a scientist or engineer a long time ago. But a good businessman I thought he was and I think it's too early to say in this case whether that holds true. One issue is that since the company is now private, we most likley will not get to see it's profit. All we will have is what employees or musk says. So I still think it's too soon to make conclusions.

#15It seems that this website asked me to accept cookies with a Pop up that covers the whole screen (mobile) after accepting (only apparently option) it was still behind a subscription.
Could HN parse links and put how many cookies each website is trying to force you to accept?

I wouldn’t call it communism to say a business person who made a bad deal by overpaying 3x the price for something is incompetent.
Don't forget TSLA is down ~63% of it's price since april 14th compared with S&P500 drop to ~86% in the same time frame, impossible to say what's causally linked, but musk is not just out ~40+billion from this whole ordeal.

I have very strong, very mixed feelings about Musk and am not sure if he is a great businessmen or not. However, I did appreciate DHH's blog post about Job's returning to Apple. Massive layoffs and Jobs admitted that mistakes will be made, but at least decisions are being made. Short worthwhile read: https://world.hey.com/dhh/apple-fired-4-100-when-steve-jobs-...
