The article itself is about 50% Elon’s management misadventures, which is titillating, but more importantly 50% explaining that running a social media company is nothing like running just about any other tech company, and why.

Sorry for the Off Topic: What does TFA stand for? I always see it on HN. I know RTFA stands for Read The Fucking Article (yes, I'm originally from Reddit...), but I don't think that's the same F?

Also, GP?

It’s the same “F,” but I pronounce it “Fine.”

I believe GP is "grandparent", referring to the post that the post you're replying to replied to. As if the reply is a descendent, and you're a descendent of the reply.

As far as I know, TFA on HN means "The Featured Article".
