This link is to a Twitter thread, but it is hosted via screencaps at Tumblr, not Twitter, so you are not interacting with the birdsite to look at it.

In extremely short form: holy shit

In slightly longer still very short form: holy shit, Elon is a goddamn clown

In ordinarily short form: this clown is a complete fool and auguring Tesla into the ground.

"If your business depends on a platform, you don't have a business."

You'd think owning the platform would invalidate that, but...

Why did he bring devs from Tesla to Twitter instead of handlers? Oh right, they're not "handlers", they're assistants & execs.

It must be so sad and scary for all those engineers at Tesla who built an awesome product - brand new, beautiful, something to be proud of, and now that pride is besmirched.

I dunno. I already thought Tesla was somewhat frightening even before Elon started messing with Twitter, what with the cars randomly catching fire, autopilot randomly killing people, and too much of the car's workings subject to remote/over-the-air software updates.

And now we find out that they really didn't have a plan for how they were going to stay ahead of the game once Ford/etc finally figured out they'd need to be cranking out their own EVs, i.e., nothing beyond hoping they could get Autopilot to actually work in the next 6 months (wash-rinse-repeat every 6 months).

I think it was always going to crash; he's just making it happen sooner.
