Paul was a big cheerleader for Elon. Touted his “skills” at Tesla & SpaceX. Elon kicks him off, because Dear Leader will not be criticized. Meanwhile Tesla is pile driving into the ground. I’m waiting for the FTC & the EU to weigh in on ALL of this puerile behavior by sham Tony Stark.

> sham Tony Stark

"Phony Stark", maybe?

Justin Hammer way more apropos

We have no proof Elon personally kicked off PG. We can hold him accountable for creating this shitshow. But Hanlon’s razor wields well, here.

He very publicly disbanded the Trust and Safety group at Twitter. It's his baby now.

[approxim8ion]

Does it wield well if the person involved has a healthy mix of both incompetence and malice?

[ssnistfajen]

He was still giving Elon platitudes in his HN comment in the previous thread. For a person with so much wealth and influence, Elon is way too thin-skinned.

[bbatchelder]

Elon is more Justin Hammer.

The best description I saw of Elon Musk is that he thinks he's Tony Stark, but he's actually Justin Hammer. Which to be fair, is the most Justin Hammer thing ever.
