FIFY.

Great message he's sending - according to a former twitter executive, "such a threat should be alarming to any business operating on the site, since it indicates that acquiescing to Musk's every whim may be necessary in order to avoid being impersonated."

My understanding is the they were talking about companies on Twitter being imperiled, not Twitter.
