    Default I will give Musk credit for this

    I will give Musk credit for apologizing. Within a deleted his offensive lie about Pelosi almost immediately, and hoped it would be ignored. It has not been, so he has now apologized... Three months later. I think he is trying, but the man is an out of control narcissist.

    He has his toys, but investors in both companies are hurting. I wonder if he even cares about them, or just himself.

    You have that in common with him, of course you're not a squillionaire though.

    I do worry that my money is undeserved, much like Musk's money is undeserved. And I do worry I am losing touch with people who have less money.

    Musk should have accepted $14 billion for Twitter. He has destroyed almost all its value, so $14 billion is a great offer. When he does more damage, he will be offered nothing.

    Musk is not going to be able to innovate without a staff to innovate. Not to mention that code rot will set in, so he will lose what he has. So no "everything app", and sooner or later no twitter app.

    The problem is I did not really understand how much money there was on the table.

    Nothing to worry about. Your replacement has already jumped the border and will be more than happy to scrub those pots and pans. A lot CHEAPER and harder working too!

    His ability to apologize shows a glimmer of a soul.
