How can one person read 42k anything. I hope he does, and not someone for him. I remember justice roberts saying in an interview how he read letters to presid

  That is awfully naive but also very sweet. You already posed the right question: How can one person read 42k anything? Answer: They can't. Delegation is not actually a horrible thing though.

  > How can one person read 42k anything. It's actually quite easy in this case. Most of them are threads, from a quick skim on the replies. So you separate them into threads, treating the person that replied to the top comment (so, mentioning @JeffBezos and himself only) as one idea. Replies to these replies are not usually ideas, but more of questions, feedbacks and such. So, I would say that there are at most 10% of usable tweets (out of 42k replies in total), which you then combine into specific ideas (chain responding about an idea is still just one idea) and you get down to something like 500-1000. Out of those, you'll might find 50 or so that are actually doable and not blatant trolling (I mean, one of the top replies is literally "I could need some money and I would consider it very philanthropic") and you get something usable and easily digestible within a day or so. I would say that he needs to read them, but he definitely needs someone to make it digestible before starting to read them.
