Users on X believe that platform owner Elon Musk has been secretly operating a burner account in order to lavish praise on himself.

    Other than the Delaware thing and saying shitty things on Twitter, has Musk actually done anything newsworthy since he purchased Twitter?

      He blew up a starship test because he overrode engineers, thought he knew better than them, and didn’t install a blast deflector under the rocket. It made a giant hole in the launch pad and the concrete debris damaged the rocket.

        I forgot about that. That’s newsworthy.

      [edit] That time he put his finger on the scale in the Ukraine/Russia war on the side of Russia, too.

        I thought the Starlink thing mostly took place before he purchased Twitter, no? The harassment case predates his purchase of Twitter as well, but it looks like it’s still an issue presently according to your article. I haven’t heard much about this in a while, it fell off my radar. Thanks.

      He threatened to walk away from Tesla if they didn’t give him twice his stake in the company (because he sold half his stake to buy Twitter).
