“Have you ever thought of creating your own social network? If ever the takeover of Twitter does not take place”. The question of the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley account to Elon Musk arises. After the platform has filed a complaint against the billionaire and that the latter has returned the favor, everyone is waiting for the next chapter of this incredible story.
