The nine-word tweet was sent Thursday afternoon from an account using the name and logo of the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly and Co., and it immediately attracted a giant response: \u201cWe are excited to announce insulin is free now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tweet carried a blue \u201cverified\u201d check mark, a badge that Twitter had used for years to signal an account\u2019s authenticity \u2014 and that Twitter\u2019s new billionaire owner, Elon Musk, had, while declaring<\/a> \u201cpower to the people!\u201d suddenly opened to anyone, regardless of their identity, as long as they paid $8.<\/p>\n

But the tweet was a fake \u2014 one of what became a fast-multiplying horde<\/a>\u00a0of impersonated businesses, political leaders, government agencies and celebrities. By the time Twitter had removed the tweet, more than six hours later, the account had inspired\u00a0other fake Eli Lilly copycats<\/a> and been viewed millions of times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He may have gotten Tesla<\/strong><\/em> and SpaceX<\/strong><\/em> off the ground, but it’s clear that he doesn’t understand his own limitations, that limitation being how to run a modern social media site. Nor do I. But I’m not jonesing to do so, either, while he went off and bought one.<\/p>\n

This is not a capable business leader, and I don’t want to own the car or the stock. The latter, BTW, is down quite a bit off its highs, but so are a lot of stocks. But will it return to its high flying ways? That remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking a lot of investors like myself are leaning against it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
