Hello to the new followers and folks here. I'm a tech reporter for the NYT. It's going to be an interesting time to report on tech, and more specifically Elon Musk as he extends his power into the White House.
If you work or have worked for him and want to reach me, hit me up on Signal at rmac.18.

you can tell when musk is mad when he 1) uses the 🤣 emoji or 2) goes on a tweet rampage where he mentions the person he's mad at multiple times.

I didn’t go to business school can someone tell me if this is bad
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

Musk is still talking at the Tesla shareholder meeting and he just criticized "the parasitic load of being a public company" which has "grown over time."
This from a man who was just awarded a $1 trillion pay package from more than 75% of his public company shareholders.

There are a few ways to look at Musk's $1 tril pay package. Yes, there are a lot of milestones he has to hit to get it.

Musk just called his robot program, Optimus, "an infinite money glitch" for the wealth it will bring Tesla and urges his shareholders to hold on to their Tesla stock.
One way or the other, we'll likely revisit this quote in the future.
