He also talks about how some changes he made, such as removing the annoying login/signup popup when viewing twitter posts, were reverted

To be fair, there's a very real business reason for keeping login and sign-up prompts. I'm surprised he didn't recognize that as a founder. I imagine some PM panicking and running around after learning about the change.
Is there a recording of this? Never used spaces, couldn't find a replay button.
Unless geohot ticked the record option during his twitter space, it wont have the replay button. Quite a shame, it was the most candid tech talk I've seen Musk was in, and Hotz was challenging him his points about twitter engineering and policies.

I saw someone posted a screenrecord on youtube[0], but the whole space lasted 2 hours, with Elon being there for an hour.
