What Hacker News says?
We've changed the URL from https://mikeelgan.substack.com/p/twitter-calls-elons-bluff , which is hard paywalled (re that, see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 ), to one that Google seemed to approve of. If there's a better (i.e. more substantive and neutral) article, we can change it again.
