Well, it'd mark at least the 3rd fundamentally untrue claim he made about his own company in the last couple of days..... the click through rate, the technical reasons for slow performance of the service, and (least importantly to most but still something he shouldn't have been that wildly off on) the cost per meal of employee food.
Which suggests he's either wildly misinformed on how everything there works, or just shooting from the hip without taking the time to actually find out the details of any of this stuff.
Neither is a great look
I 100% agree the employee should be fired for speaking out in public as a first move (If he'd tried internal channels, knew Elon was informed of the accurate info, and then Elon was STILL posting misinformation that'd be a different story).
But the fact Elon keeps getting basic stuff wrong about the thing he's trying to fix certainly does :make a difference to anything"
It's possible even someone as smart as Elon reached a knowledge/task saturation point.... he's got to know and understand 5000 things about Tesla, and another 5000 about SpaceX, and however many about Boring, Neuralink, etc.... having to now learn a ton MORE things about twitter, and keep all of em clearly understood, may be causing what we're seeing here.
It's a downside to the flat management structure Elon prefers- he has to know a LOT about a LOT. It's fantastically useful until you hit that saturation point, and to me these are signs he perhaps has.
