twitter also turned off their api for anyone who hadn’t paid them, but didn’t realize their own apps and website use the same api. So the whole site stopped working for like an hour.

Not just any rich asshole. Isn’t one of the people with the most skin in the game one of the saudi princes? Which means Musk might get bonesawed if he becomes to much of a liability
