Unloved by Elon (who once tried to get me fired), disgusted at "conservatives" who turned out to be Trump cultists, hoping Democrats will get healthier, and wishing Congress would do its damned job.

1/ With Space X, Elon Musk is every bit as much committed to acting grown-up, and refraining from fraud, as he is with Tesla.

Schwab lines up behind Musk for Thursday's vote.
Just my personal view, but I hope all three corrupt Musk proposals (3 for 208 million shares, 4 for $1T package, & 7 for xAI investment) pass. The worse, the better.

Musk, who has spent the past several months promoting alt-right propaganda and genuflections to Trump, is back in Trump's good graces. Look for SpaceX to be forgiven all its Artemis III sins, and to be awarded more contracts. Some for xAI, too. Sorry to report it, but it's so.

7/ Notwithstanding the hideous income statement consequences of the new CEO comp packages, Proposal 7 - regarding xAI - is where the real action is. That's Musk's hope to drain Tesla's cash holdings for his AI business.
As @coverdrive12.bsky.social has noted, this is now the game plan.
