Biggest context missing from the article involves this paragraph:
So I'm just wasting my life away another night, maybe five weeks ago, and I see a Twitter "Spaces" (voice chatroom) start gaining momentum. It was initiated and moderated by a handful of quasi-mainstream/establishment reporters like Taylor Lorenz, Ben Collins, Brian Steltzer (ok, that's mainmainstream) and a few others, discussing the recent suspension of the kid who built the automated Elon jet tracker. They manage to successfully summon this guy in about 15 minutes to discuss how all of the info is already very public domain. The voice chat eventually hits a critical mass of around 12,000 or so people, at which point, tippytop Elonstans show up to begin defending Elon's narrative, that his child's safety was threatened because of the jet tracker. Twitter's (yes, this handle) @jason begins screaming at Judd Legum, "DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN?? DO YOU?! HOW MANY, AND HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THEY WERE THREATENED LIKE THIS?!?", and literally every single journalist was like "Jason, I think it would be wise to wait until more facts come out surrounding this incident". @Jason also berated the guy who built the Elon jet tracking account, who wisely said that he was declining to answer any questions, for legal reasons.
Then, Elon shows up, not long after. He's clearly phoning in from a car or airplane, and feels the need to attempt talking to the voicechat listeners and also type on his keyboard simultaneously (probably because Elon is Very Busy and Hard Working Allthetime). Judd Legum is really going to town now, "Can you give us more details? Did this incident occur near the airport? What was the nature of the threat??", etc., until about 8 minutes of Elon's nonsensical stuttering goes by, and Elon ragequits.
Of course, then it came out shortly afterwards that police are instead treating the member of Elon's security detail responsible for protecting his child as a suspect in the investigation.
And you'll probably never hear another update about the incident.
All in all, the perfect encapsulation of Elon's Twitter, as far as I'm concerned. He bought the world's most powerful messaging device, and he's almost done unintentionally ruining it.
