Does anyone feel like actually reading all that, and writing a TL/DR about what it won’t answer?
I kinda zoned out and skimmed most of that.
Ironically, this type of waffle piece is a perfect use case for an AI summary.

Just leave them behind if they can’t be arsed.
SpaceX is the one I feel bummed out about, because they’ve legitimately achieved some amazing things over the years. Tesla as well in the early days, although they’re losing their lead a bit.
This would only work if the tariffs were bipartisan, and clearly here to stay, and even then only if the USA alone is a big enough market to justify building a factory for.
Otherwise companies will just wait it out.
There’s a reason why vehicles look the way they do, and why EVs and ICE vehicles look similar, and it’s because that’s what customers want.
I look very suspiciously at a car company whose product looks radically different from everyone else.
Yeah, I don’t have much sympathy for this dork. You don’t need to watch YouTube.
I’m talking about the renewable energy industry, smart person. It’s a very bad look for them as a whole having multiple large fires at one location.
This place has caught fire several times now?
Seriously not a good look for the industry if events like this keep happening.
My dear sweet child, governments use private companies to communicate to their citizens all the time.
They advertise on TV, they have ads on bus shelters, they give interviews on commercial radio and TV stations. Even systems like emergency broadcast systems use cellular networks and TV and radio stations run by private companies.
Even government websites are seldom hosted on their own servers.
Using a third party website specifically set up to communicate short, sharp, and to the point messaging as one way of getting information out is just sensible.
I kinda love the idea of IPhone users getting reamed, of course that doesn’t make this acceptable at all.
I agree that it sucked, and I didn’t use it, but a huge number of people did.
Post Musk, their userbase is collapsing.
Agencies will have to share custom-developed code amongst each other in an effort to prevent duplicative software development contracts under a new bill signed into law by President Joe Biden.
That’s not what open source means.
You’re being a pedant, all while missing the point.
The point is most people don’t care.
I think you, and a large number of people on this site, need to accept that the vast majority of people don’t give a shit about FOSS, and many actively view it as a bad thing.
Especially a government agency.
Twitter was the default way for any famous individual to address their fan base, and government agencies around the world to communicate to the public.
Train delays, road closures, states of emergency, it was all done through Twitter. They weren’t spiralling anywhere.
Given how many social media companies have collapsed over the years because they made their service worse, and their user base migrated en masse to other platforms, I don’t think it’s inevitable at all. Senior execs will be well aware of the consequences of that type of behaviour.
Don’t forget, Bluesky is rising out of the ashes of Twitter, which is a spectacular example of what not to do, and something shareholders will be terrified of.
You don’t get to decide how language works.
It implies going from a bad situation to a worse one, and has from the moment it existed.
Twitter truly went to shit when Musk bought them, and I doubt anything quite like that will happen any time soon, especially considering the huge loss in value since the takeover.
So moving from a platform run by a far right, nazi saluting Jackass, to a platform that is building it’s user base at X’s expense is a step backwards?
Also, Bluesky is run mostly by former Twitter employees, so they know exactly what will happen if they follow in their footsteps.
Awesome, thanks for that.
This is why so many people just don’t read the article, concise communication is a lost art.
