Thread: I’ve spent decades working in nature conservation & that experience inspires my ink drawings of nature. Here’s a wild flower bank from the Midlands of Ireland - it’s now a motorway. However these plants & animals live on in my work, as you can see in this thread.

Musk has no technical skills whatsoever, but he wants to appear smart. So he takes bits of information like this, told to him by junior engineers, and regurgitates it to appear smart. Musk did this with the Twitter stack and Twitter's senior architects called him out publicly, then he fired them.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.
