It's passive-aggressive. A bit like deleting one's facebook profile I guess.
Substantially easier to throw shade (passive aggressively even) from the moral high ground.
You'll notice that there are NO social media posts whenever there's a accident (of which there have been many).
Zuck drawing attention to it must have really pissed Elon off.
Mark, this is not a criticism. Given the way the media handles such things (i.e. sensationally and with minimal or just plain wrong context) it's really for the best.
Sometimes there are - in fact its a running joke that he calls them "rapid unscheduled disassemblies" (or something like that).
So if he would have done it, only because of that statement, I would say clearly overreaction. But deleting Facebook because it is Facebook ... makes still sense.
Not when you have enough wealth to replace it. Shit happens, and getting furniture into space is an intrinsic risky affair.
