The irresistible allure of Elon's drama is fascinating. I kept my comment as vague as I could manage yet somehow people cannot help themselves but show the world their opinion about him.

Aside from Trump, I don't think any other person can so successfully and reliably cast this attention grabbing spell on the world's netizens.

What Elon has been doing, and how much of an asshole we may think he is, is actually completely unrelated to the fact that Twitter was overstaffed for essentially the entire duration of it's life as a public company. Which is the sole point of my initial comment.

To be fair, you opened with something that by your own words is not relevant, which is what this person was responding to. It's understandable that people respond to what you say and write, if you do not want to talk about it you should not say it.
