He told his more than 29 million subscribers of his decision yesterday in a series of tweets: He was not sure what benefits Twitter has, wrote the entrepreneur in it, adding, „Go offline.“
Not sure about good of Twitter

As a result, Musk received thousands of tweets as reactions, many regretting his future Twitter abstinence. Maybe Musk will now use the news and discussion platform Reddit for his speeches. „Reddit still seems to be good,“ he wrote.
Always trouble with Elon Musk
Musk has to answer for the insult of a British speleologist via Twitter in a court in Los Angeles. The plaintiff Vernon Unsworth was involved in the summer of 2018 in the worldwide sensational rescue operation of a Thai football team from a flooded cave.
Unsworth had rejected a musk-offered mini submarine to rescue the football team and called the offer a „PR trick“. As a result, Musk tweeted that the Briton was a „pedo type“. This term had been a common swear word during his childhood in South Africa, Musk justified his choice of words to the court.
Also with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Musk entered with several tweets of trouble. In August 2018, he caused about a tweet for Vortex, in which he had thought about taking Tesla from the stock market. On the stock markets caused the commotion, the SEC accused Musk misdirection of shareholders. He had to resign as Tesla supervisory board chief and got editions for his statements in online media.
