These kind of tweets are just weird. He portrays himself as such a technical science based guy, but then makes random comments like this that are bound to create controversy. It's like he doesn't realize that millions of people read his tweets. It's stuff like this that really make me question his tactical and leadership abilities. I would think to build the kind of companies that he has built, one would need to be an excellent taction, know when you speak and when not to and know where to devote energy. Maybe he is just playing at a level I don't understand.

Or maybe he just had a random thought that he shared on Twitter, as people are wont to do.

  But there is a huge difference. When you have millions of people listening, at some point you have to realize that everything you say publicly has the potential to create big problems.

> It's like he doesn't realize that millions of people read his tweets. Do those millions of people have any responsibility for what they do after reading said tweets? I don't know about the rest of you, but whether Musk eats spinach has nothing to do with whether I will.

  Of course they do. But do people in major leadership positions with worldwide reach bear any responsibility for what they say? Humans are social creatures. I'm willing to bet most of the things you do or say are heavily influenced by what other people do or say. For you, Musk may not be one of those people. But for many, he probably is.
