Dan Ives, a tech analyst at investment firm Wedbush Securities, said Mr Musk's tweet would "send this Twitter circus show into a Friday the 13th horror show".

I think that Musk thought he could dig up something embarrassing to Twitter, but he never even considered that Twitter could dig up something embarrassing to him.

Like, by not deleting his past tweets, and letting him continue to tweet? 😅
