            Again, that doesn’t really narrow it down.

              It wasn’t supposed to narrow it down, quite the opposite

      At this point I have to assume it’s malicious compliance by staff to make Elon look bad.

        to make Elon look bad.

        why would he need any help when he’s doing so much on his own?
