Someone should tell him that there's Fediverse already, no need to "reinvent the wheel".

Not sure I would want all the crypto-bros that seem to follow Musk on Twitter to move over to the Fediverse :(

There are more than enough already 😅

Srsly, let him have his public wank. It'll be funny when he builds something worse than fediverse after spending humptymillion coinbucks on it.

Elon Musk is the next Zuckerberg garage startup science boy of USA.
