What a result from Musk. What a performance! What a choice of target to attack; what a deservedly humiliting climbdown. And in between, such disregard for ordinary decency; such contempt for simple probity; such an utter want of tactical nous. Savor it all. The reek of desperation; the accent notes of spite and schoolyard bullying; the ground bass of self-important stupidity. And spare a thought for the supporting cast of hopeless sycophants, and highly-paid lawyers. Marvelous.

Hi again @elonmusk 👋
I hope you are well.
I’m fine too. I’m thankful for your interest in my health.
But since you mentioned it, I wanted to give you more info.
I have muscular dystrophy. It has many effects on my body.

I needed some stock images of people working together so I used https://open.ai/images to generate some pictures.
The spec: "group of three people working in an office"
Bearded ladies, weird, three armed, demon eyed, freaks. Ho-hum.
I guess I won't be using AI to generate images for a while yet.
He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

This is going to end with “Twitter.com” redirecting to a mediocre Etsy store selling Tesla memorabilia.
