TBH Although this is hyperbole, I wouldn't place money on him not doing that.

He's got the energy of a bitter divorcee going through a mid-life crisis. He has more money than God but none of it can buy true respect and admiration, so he's lauded by lickspittles and sycophants while being dunked on by the rest of the internet. I suspect that he knows on some level that the people blowing smoke up his ass are as fake as a tin schilling, and that's giving him a festering narcissistic injury that's certainly not going away, assuming it's not becoming an increasingly cankerous sore spot.

Weight is meaningless
Reckon that's the nub of it aye, smart enough to know he's in a spiral of bad opinion/get told to fuck off by normies but lauded by losers/appeal to losers/alienate normies, but too much of a narcissist to stop.

thinks he is cool because he went on Joe Rogan and smoked a spliff. has it in his head that owning a few SJW tic tockers is the height of subversive cool - which it is, to an army of poisionous online cunts. the narcissistic false-self built to cover terrifying pain and insecurity then rolls on from there
is probably so online that he does not know the meaning of the words "self reflection" and "quiet contemplation" - all essential pre-requisites for any decent life lived.he's a very rich, very powerful Debate Lord, a Logic Bro, achieving and winning his way into the seventh circle of hell.
that's my very deep and thorough analysis.

Musk's reputation is now so low that saying this will probably do him no harm in future employment.
Edit: added 'no' in front of harm. I meant "no harm".

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
“Ah, you're the guy that stayed completely calm when the Muskrat lost his shit and acted like a right bullying tool! I saw your CV, impressive, I think we might have the perfect role for you...”

So many particulars. So many questions.
I don't think we're giving his apartheid upbringing enough credit here. Thats where he learned to think of people as things.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
The guy is a disabled tech bro who is pro trans rights and sold his tech co to Twatter, his career prospects are fine and he’s had plenty of abuse from more interesting people and come out fighting.
This one stirred my juices:

All the people who've paid for a blue tick with their awful, disgusting responses - it's sad that they'd choose to side with this terrible person and say those things.
I know, don't read the comments...
Fuming with EM that he brought up the guy's disability to twist his words and use against him, because of course there'd be dickheads accusing him of wanting "special treatment."
He must've heard words to that effect so many times just for going about his life and maybe wanting very basic human rights.

Yup. Elegantly done. That guy he should buy twitter when it’s auctioned off for 20p to pay musks bail for fraud.

When the world came apart, where were you?
He always was a cunt.
The difference is that now he's making it even more blindingly obvious.

This sort of response needs to happen more often
I reckon a Comp Sci researcher at MIT can code a lot better than me. But then I’m crap at it.

I'm not really sure what an API is but I don't think that should bar me from applying
It’s like a kind of glue made from boiling cow bones. Makes the code less brittle.

API stands for Application Programming Interface and is a method for external programs to query and get data from an application.I'm not really sure what an API is but I don't think that should bar me from applying
These are quite often web interfaces. A fairly simple one is the UK river levels API. Here: Real-time API reference
For example, https://environment.data.gov.uk/flood-monitoring/id/stations?search=River+Wey will return all the monitoring stations on the River Wey
The complicated bit is ensuring that the API requests are decoded correctly and the correct data is returned to the user requesting the data.
The code for searching through billions of tweets and returning the correct data while not crashing the system must be pretty complex. This the Jackanory version; I would expect the actual implementation to be horrendously complicated that takes dozens of people to understand and this group would have years of expertise, even if it is properly documented.
It's lucky that Twitter has a genius in charge who fully understands these things.

Elon Musk’s bodyguards follow him around the office—even to the restroom, Twitter employee says
You know, I've had some really awful bosses, but I never thought of shanking them in the bathroom. There's a few that if they happened to be on fire, I woudn't so much as piss on, but that's another story.
This is clearly the result of the kind of corporate culture he's fostered. If you encourage obsessive behavior, expect obsessive behavior.
