    That doesn't seem at all odd by his standards to be honest. Off-kilter jokes are kind of his thing.

It's not like he's new to running massive companies in a very hands on way so it's a bit perplexing really - he's also not new to controversy in his management style but has always managed to keep things together.
    Is it just because it's so public? He has used Twitter to document his takeover of Twitter which seems a bit like mixing fun & pleasure, or tulipting where you eat.
    Didn't he get rid of his long term PA for asking for a pay rise?

    Anyway he’s clearly moved onto much harder narcotics
    He was getting paid to do the interview?

    Twitter has told employees that the company's office buildings will be temporarily closed, effective immediately.

    I'm very glad nobody is left owning Twitter shares (except Elon).

    They won't have to open again because they won't have any staff.
