It would seem the Twitter layoff process is the instant counterpoint to the stripe one. My disdain for musk always makes for lively dinner conversations.

As someone who is musks age, I find it amusing that culture always celebrates the noisy, thrusting jerks, who thinks destiny and power is to be the person of no soul that masters systems of no soul.

Tradfi coder by day, hacker by night. Doesn’t know night from day. Freelance scribe. Dad cook. Dog butler.  Happy Grandpa. Draws badly.

I think musk is an opportunist who understands how to get other peoples money through fantastical themes, and use it to build power. He believes himself at the start, then the hook is used to draw in power while the theme becomes more fantastical, and he expands. The expansion feeds his darker side. Rinse. Repeat.
