Spare me with this; one of Musk's very first major actions was removing an account he didn't like (and had previously committed to leaving alone! https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1589414958508691456 ) because it was tweeting publicly available ADS-B data his plane was broadcasting... and then went on a tear banning journalists tweeting about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_2022_Twitter_suspensi...

He has every right to do it. He promised not to, and you're still claiming he isn't. That hypocrisy is very apparent.

Absolutely. If Martha Stewart went to jail for much less, a certain CEO[1] should be doing some hard time for ludicrous claims over the past 8 years.

Those people got fired for underperforming. 4. All people on the team tasked with implementation agree with optimistic claim. 5. Doubled down on the promise. Repeat every year. I can't see how a CEO could be blamed in this scenario, as cle…
Lying about features or the number of cars being produced etc. can't be limited to mere optimism because they mentioned specific numbers in a public way that were not true.
> fired for underperforming
The irony, since Musk destroys every brand and product he's ever touched. I've never seen a more polar opposite to the Midas effect at work. It has to be intentional.

It's on other platforms and the plane publicly broadcasts its location. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a2ae0a
