Yes but it seems you don't.

Aaron rupar reposts decontextulized clips of right wing media to Twitter. That's his entire game.

He has worked for several media outlets.
Isn't he left-wing?

What he did was change the rules midstream for his own personal benefit security

Difference?

I think a key difference between previous and current leadership is their transparency, the entire reason we can have this conversation is because Elon makes public the rules. Any deviation from the rule can be outspoken now vs before.

There are no rules. It is whatever he decides.

Must like Calvinball where they announce the changes as they make them.

Can't complain then. Only reason to complain would be if he went against a rule he made.

LOL.
You get 6 points for a touchdown. You score a touchdown and only get 3 points. No reason to complain.

The guy who does it was quoted as saying that he is interested in how Elon travels to run his companies... If that was actually his motive, he could release the information on a delay of several days.

I know of cases where private jet info (not necessarily musks) was used to predict m&a. Legitimate, time sensitive, amd extremely valuable.

An account like sweeney's just broadens the audience to those who need spoonfeeding

That broader audience is much more likely to include nut jobs.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I just watched this amazing interview. It gives a really deep look into Elon's mindset and the way he builds his businesses. It helps to understand a lot of what's happening with Twitter.

He is in over his head. Is this a way to get out and try and save face?

What makes you say that?

I understand he undertook more than any normal person can fathom, but that was already true before he bought Twitter.

He clearly expects to get a no and hand it over to someone. Let's see if he takes it public again and at what loss.
