Elon Musk Says His Twitter “Is Pretty Much Complete Nonsense”

Saying that Tesla chief executive Elon Musk loves using Twitter is probably the understatement of the year; in fact, even the man himself admitted his account is pretty messed up.

Musk’s use of Twitter has landed him in hot water quite a few times, most notably in February, when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asked a judge to hold Musk in contempt for breaching a settlement agreeing to have his tweets overseen and approved by a dedicated board.

Musk again hit headlines for his Twitter use late last week after once again asserting that Tesla will “make over 500k cars in next 12 months” – something he’d tweeted about not that long ago, only to make a retraction shortly after.

Now, Musk has stated that his “Twitter is pretty much complete nonsense at this point,” after a series of random tweets about sheep. Yes, sheep.

My Twitter is pretty much complete nonsense at this point

The outspoken executive started his sheep-related tweets last Wednesday in response to an MIT Technology Review piece with the caption “Look at the size of this absolute unit,” in reference to the world’s largest airplane taking flight. In response, Musk posted a picture of an overweight sheep with the caption “I’m an absolute unit too.”

While Musk was clearly having a bit of fun tweeting about sheep, we can’t help but think that he could be trolling the SEC for forcing him to have his tweets monitored and reviewed before publishing.

Over the weekend, it was revealed that Musk and the SEC will have until April 25 to resolve their ongoing legal dispute about Musk’s tweets. Just curious whether that will apply only to Tesla-related issues or, say, sheep as well.
