This piece by @faizsays is full of mind-blowing detail about Musk's mental/emotional/financial breakdown -- including that he tried (and maybe eventually succeeded?) in giving Bari Weiss access to everyone's twitter DMs.

Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth

Musk went down conspiracy rabbit holes and sank Tesla's stock with his behavior. And he was confronted with a chorus of boos in the cradle of the tech industry.

@faizsays Great utter gibberish quote from Musk in the article cited above: "“We have an emergency fire drill on our hands,” Musk said on Twitter Spaces. “Aspirationally, I’m not naturally capricious.”

On Twitter, I asked Bari Weiss a follow-up Q to @faizsays's article. Chances she'll respond: 0.00003%

@msbellows @faizsays I find Bari Weiss particularly annoying, from a Jewish perspective. Her childhood schul is shot up by a right wing antisemite and she still carries water for them.

"Breathiated..."

Laughed through that whole movie. Rian can really punch a hole in any kind of pretense.

@msbellows Jeez, his picture should be in the dictionary next to "capricious."

@msbellows @faizsays That quote stood out as one of the dumbest things I've ever read. I can more easily imagine it being said by Leslie Nielsen than any serious person.

@bruceturner @faizsays TBF,. Leslie Nielson was a WAY more serious person than Elon Musk.

@msbellows @faizsays he did a Twitter Spaces recently on Tesla stock and he spoke the same gibberish. Sometimes he reverts to a British sounding accent, I'm sure it's genuine but when the words are meaningless he sounds like the guys in Spinal Tap

@msbellows @faizsays There’s a lot of naked emperor on display in that Musk piece, though the author won’t come right out and say so.
