TechScape: Why I can't stop writing about Elon Musk

"I hope I don't have to cover Elon Musk again for a while," I thought last week after I sent TechScape to readers. Then I got a message from the news editor. "Can you keep an eye on Elon Musk's Twitter feed this week?" I ended up doing a close-reading of the world's most powerful posting addict, and my brain turned to liquid and trickled out of my ears: His shortest overnight break, on Saturday night, saw him logging off after retweeting a meme comparing London's Metropolitan police force to the Nazi SS, before bounding back online four and a half hours later to retweet a crypto influencer complaining about jail terms for Britons attending protests. But somehow I was still surprised by what I found.
