I’m curious your evidence for this. I don’t see it.

  Go read Elon’s Twitter feed. This is classic Elon.

    I find he treads in the "is he joking or isn't he?" space in the same way Trump always does. Everything is partly a troll, which allows many interpretations of his words. It's overall disingenuous. But it also allows folks who love him to read whatever they want into what he says; whatever puts him in the best light. FWIW I don't think it's intentional on his part (or Trump), it's just the high status, narcissistic shitposter's way. The world loves it, except for those who hate it, but the haters just prove that the shitposter has always been right.

      The point is that journalists formed this whole story from a tweet. Elon probably spent less than 15 seconds thinking about it before he threw that tweet out. The journalists that treat this like a real story are insanely gullible.

        Well your first point was that he’s joking but now the point is that he didn’t think it through and the journalists are “gullible” I agree articles like this based on a tweet are bad, but your reasoning here keeps shifting. This is pretty common imo for folks who are pro Elon. I’m curious if you think there’s any context where what he says or tweets should be taken literally?

          My reason is the same from the beginning. It was a casual, tongue-n-cheek tweet. It was mildly funny and consistent w Elon.
