"DC outsider techie" status allows him to slash & burn with insane speed.
After the inevitable split The Other Fucking Guy gets to be like "I fired him, he did bad things that can't be undone". By design, Musk gets the blame, TOFG wins.

AP Econ test in HS came with the Macro test for free, so I decided to wing it. (A chance at free college credits?! Hell yeah!)
I learned REAL quick I had no idea what I was doing & literally drew a pirate ship on the essay portion.
Anyway, maybe this is like that except how billionaires wing it.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.
Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.
I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.
What an immense loss
