No, Musk is just a moron. You just need to look at his interactions with former staff to realize it was his ego and inability to admit being wrong that ran the company into the ground.

He's been behaving like a bratty child, except he's the owner of the company so any tantrums he throws have direct influence.

Or he's just a narcissist that can't run a company if he's not held on a leash by people who actually know what they're doing.

It should be noted that setting Adguard as your DNS will allow Adguard to track the domains you visit. The latest info I can find is that a lot of their team is still located in Russia, which makes them susceptible to government demands regardless of their intentions.

DNS adblocking should be the last resort. On Android there are many ways to do system wide local adblocking (with and without root). Don't know about iOS. Alternatively you can do network level blocking with something like a pi-hole.

Because dealing with identity theft and credit fraud in your name is super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Not a very good scam when getting caught is pretty much inevitable.

The leaked email has his name on it and the leak claims it was an email from Elon to employees. Can't really tell if the leak is real or fake, but if it's real then Elon is definitely the one who wrote it.

Based on his proclivity to say dumb shit and his inability to keep his mouth shut, I'm inclined to believe it's a real leak.

What? Twitter is majority owned by Musk, by a very very large margin. Not that giving your info to Musk is any better than giving it to the Saudi government.

Beehaw's reasons for defederation were completely unrelated to what's happening now. They didn't want the general public to have access to their "safe" community.
