I hate to say it because Fuck Elon, but this is just one of those things you sign away when you agree to the terms of service.

True, but it's still worth criticizing because of him being so dickish about it. He even renamed the account @x12345678998765.

And he could have gone down the "Mike Row Soft" route and offered the guy some free stuff as compensation. Terms allowing them to do something doesn't mean they have to be dicks about it.

Exactly! Musk is being an asshole because he can and he likes it. Sure, he has every right to be an asshole just like Jason Aldean has the right to release a racist song. That doesn't make them free from criticism.

It's still really petty - Elon is one of the richest guys on earth. Take the username, but send him a Tesla. Invite him to a SpaceX launch.

Well you don't get rich by giving away 100k cars to everyone...

Exactly. You get rich by being a dick.
