It's just a thought terminating ad hominem that routes directly back to reactionaries not having the capacity to understand that beliefs contrary to their own are sincere and organic. "Everyone believes what I believe but they're being somehow forced/pressured to vocalize disagreement and/or the disagreement I see is astroturfing" has been a consistent component of reactionaryism at least since Trump's 2016 campaign.

No. I do not want to be buckled into the backseat of a car that I could not escape if, god forbid, a collision happened causing a battery fire because an unrestrained turbonerd decided that normal loving physical latches weren't cool enough for his future car, just for you to then turn on the "automatic head on collision generator".

You can use the 'ceramic' part of a spark plug and other special tools you can put on a keychain to break the window of that Tesla if it catches fire.

Actually, the tool will work on any Tesla window, even if it's not on fire.

Elon’s words were in the present tense. But they’re advertising their Black Friday event right now, so it’s a recently pushed ad campaign.

He’s not worth giving the benefit of the doubt to.

Ah yes. Ping the CEO for advertising decisions he probably briefly saw/heard mentioned in a meeting without skipping a beat, but otherwise probably didn't bother with because successful CEOs generally trust their people to handle what they've been delegated to do. That will surely bring the ad money back, and definitely not be used as a prime example of why Twitter is not a place for brand safety anymore.

The correct response would be "We're marking twitter as an unverified app and potential security risk" and then deleting his account. But I think he'll just ignore him.

SpaceX and Tesla also both have loving awful, toxic work environments based on burning people out and destroying them as fast as possible. With the insulation. If they weren't there, SX would have killed some people with a Crew Dragon by now, and there would be multiple deaths/day at the Tesla factory.
They also depend on being "hey, want to be part of something awesome?" type companies for retention, whereas Twitter is turning into more of a "hey, want to be part of a rapidly-worsening soon-to-be-bankrupt pile of poo poo?" company where obviously-better opportunities are abundant.

I would pay money to listen into the execs at Apple trying to figure out what Musk will do next and if they have to respond now or not.

The strongest we get from Apple would be an open letter in the style of Jobs’ rant against Flash or DRM. I doubt it though. This won’t affect them.
