No, Elon, it wasn't the medium that was at fault. You just have an awful sense of humor.

"Oh it was really funny in the conversation, you just had to be there to appreciate the context." No, it wasn't though. This isn't about the "no place for political violence" schtick either, it just wasn't a good joke.

Lots of people are able to be funny on Twitter. Or, they have been in the past.
