Yesterday, Elon Musk called former Twitter developer Ian Brown a "jackass" after Ian questioned his plans for a complete Twitter re-write.

The whole conversation was bonkers.

Attached video has the context.

@atomicpoet @davidgarywood “who are you?” is such an interesting response to being asked a real question
@jacqueline @atomicpoet @davidgarywood I took it as "Who are you? So I can fire you if you currently work for me."

@rubberbullets @atomicpoet @davidgarywood it could also be “who are you? what are your credentials to question me?” or “who are you? are you being paid? what’s your agenda?”

there’s so many interpretations, and they’re all fascinating

@jacqueline @atomicpoet @davidgarywood that's true, he does seem to be paranoid of agendas against him.
