I'm having a hard time parsing why he would post this. Did he think he'd get customers? I doubt it. Investors? They already raised hundreds of millions.

To me it seems like the only thing he's going to get out of this is twitter followers. But at what cost? Are twitter followers that valuable? Why do some CEOs spend so much time growing their twitter audiences? Do they do it for recruiting? Is this really the best way for them to spend their time? Or is it just an ego thing?

Not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely curious.

Sometimes if you see a wrong, you just want expose it. Sometimes that can be good for you and others, other times it doesn’t matter, if the wrong is worth exposing.
More famous people have said stupider things on Twitter. It’s a platform that just begs you to over share (like all social media tbh).
