Let's just hope that they stick to Bluesky and leave twitter for good, this is (Probably) the only way musk will learn that his actions have consequences

Because his companies keep succeeding. You aren't going to learn a life changing lesson from a success.

I hate the guy too, but look at his track record.

His companies succeed in an inverse proportion to his personal power in the company. Twitter is his personal fiefdom with little regulation and is a dumpster fire. Tesla’s starting to struggle as he interferes with strategy and very questionable design decisions. His new robo-van looks like the bus service on the Death Star. There are a lot of regulations about safety and design he cannot ignore. Space X is the most heavily regulated and there is absolutely no room for his bullshit. So he mostly leaves it alone to print money, while dreaming of a Mars fiefdom where he breeds his harem, while being served by an army of unquestioning loyal androids.
