There has been a lot of tumult at Musk's account. There are verified fake accounts. Advertisers leave in large numbers. Half of the company has already been laid off.
Even though Musk is joking about the situation, he is getting support from people who support him.
Musk took his fun and games to the next level by taunting a senator on the platform.

The senator requested that Musk explain what his company plans to do about the fake accounts on the social networking site. Since Musk allowed paying users to be verified, major brands and individuals have created fake accounts on the social network. Some companies decided to leave the platform.
The Washington Post reporter created a fake verified account to impersonate the Senator.
A reporter at the Washington Post impersonated me and I askedelonmusk if he was putting profits over people and his debt over stopping fake news. How to prevent it from happening again must be explained by the social network.
Musk wondered if it was because his real account sounded like a parody.

"Why does your profile picture have a mask?" Musk asked.

Many of the replies pointed out that it's not in Musk's best interest to have a fight with a senator. The Subcommittee on Communication, Media, and Broadband, the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Data Security, and the Subcommittee on Space and Science all have the potential to give regulatory oversight over Musk's many businesses.

Musk asked if the Senator would abuse his political power to attack him.
People are not suggesting that. The senator replied to Musk's retort to make clear what the issue was.

The FTC has a consent decree with one of your companies. The NHTSA is looking into another case. "You're spending your time picking fights online," Sen. Fix your businesses. Either Congress will or will not.
The Senator is referring to a requirement by the FTC in order to make sure that the security, privacy, confidentiality, or integrity of any nonpublic consumer information is protected. The FTC consented to a $150 million fine being paid by the social network.
The FTC is keeping a close eye on recent developments at the micro-blogging site. Companies must follow the consent decree if they want to stay above the law.
The NHTSA is investigating a rise in car crashes with drivers engaging in the vehicle's autopilot feature.
Musk will likely be angry with people who criticize him on social media. It could catch up on him eventually.
