> 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.

and yet announcements still are made

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.

I don't understand why you'd make up a claim like this that's easily disproven.

So what is Twitter's response to the issue? Surely one of those accounts has addressed it... I can't seem to find it.

I’m not saying it’s sane, but in his eyes, yes they are, just like his tweets about Tesla.
