One of the biggest barriers to digital service transformation is budget separation.
It’s a cost item on a digital budget.

I think too much attention is given to trying to analyse Musk's politics relative to his state of mind. Quite aside from his malign activism, it is obvious that he is not well.
Here is 11 hours of almost unbroken tweeting by Elon Musk, starting at midnight GMT/7pm EST on Monday. How is he getting anything else done?

Went to the speech this morning. A few thoughts. TL;DR - I thought it was really good, but of course lots of tricky challenges to work through. 🧵
I know people will be irked by the word ‘start-up’ here but I do think this is a meaningful step in the right direction. The basic principles they’re gesturing to must be right. 1/n
