“Better to talk to people than communicate by tweet.”

The former tech giant known as Twitter has a new company motto.

@JamesGleick That was some lawyer he talked to! The lawyer should give communication lessons. What an outstanding job! Cut right through the crap and the ego, with a meek-as-a-lamb apology afterwards.

@schoolingdiana @JamesGleick when someone messes up that badly, putting $100 million at risk, exposing oneself to a massive job discrimination lawsuit for mocking necessary adaptive equipment who is employed in a country with actual employee protections with enforcement that cares, and humiliating someone who is not only vital to your core business but also is seen as a national hero in their country...

Yeah, you get your script writers to write an abject and humble apology.

Probably the hardest thing Elon has ever had to pay someone else to do, because you know that level of humility isn't coming from him.
