You have to understand Twitter is itself not meant to be that serious. (FWIW US media reporting in general is primarily advertising nowadays, I never see any reporting that is without a clear goal for certain ideas, reporting facts are simply not the primary goal) This Twitter thread is of course a combination of business promotion (bolt is for start-up, bolt standard up against stripe, bolt founder stands up against bullies). I am not questioning his intention. I am saying promotion is simply a unconscious drive in US business man. When they talk they always put the business interest at the center, intentionally or unconsciously.
