Oh sure, I feel incredibly sorry for small business and indi-developers who may loose their income from this. I hope they have contingency plans for this eventuality and have started to diversify.
There is also a whole ecosystem of "publisher" apps like Buffer and Typefully that haven't been blocked yet, if I was them I would be very worried right now.
> You can't announce anything if you've fired the comms team.
Elon fired the Tesla PR team and yet announcements still are made, usually as Tweets from him. It sucks, but a comms team isn’t necessary assuming you are ok with substandard communication.
Elon's tweets aren't the same as announcements from Twitter. He tweets as an individual. Twitter, the company, is a blackhole as far as comms goes. There is no news in any official capacity from the company any more.
