The takeaway that everyone is failing to appreciate is very simple: nobody should be paying any attention to what is being said on twitter.

As in, a person can be a screeching lunatic on twitter yet have two companies that are hitting milestone after milestone.

The achievements are what's relevant but everyone is glued to what's tweeted.

It's not a hard lesson to learn.

There's a difference between merely tweeting nonsense and spending a large part of your fortune buying Twitter and driving its commercial partners away with the nonsense you tweet though...

And, back on topic, dependency on infrastructure provided by a company lead by someone who is publicly campaigning for you to surrender and occasionally publicly threatens to switch it off is a more conspicuous security risk than most.
