I don't blame reporters or headline writers for misframing this when the news is breaking.
But now that people have seen the details, please stop calling it a buyout. It is not. At best, it is a compelled resignation.

Today I learned that there is a Wikimedia Commons category "animations of shoes" with 86 gifs, all but one of which are rotating animations created by a guy named "Karl Martini" who calls his signature rotation style the "Martini Spin." I will never be bored on this website

We Bought A Zoo is funny because it’s based on a true story and in the movie the responsibility of owning a zoo is a metaphor for reluctantly overcoming grief and matt damon buys the zoo to heal his trauma but in real life they bought the zoo because they just felt like owning a zoo

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

“Everyone has a conflict of interest” is clearly untrue. Almost all public servants are subject to conflict of interest rules, civil servants more than politicians. But we should not worry about it for the richest man in the world? Come on.
BASH: One of the concerns is that Elon Musk has billions tied up in govt contracts. You don't see a conflict of interest?
CHRIS SUNUNU: Everyone has a conflict of interest
BASH: But that's a pretty big one

Going to the movies by yourself is one of life’s hidden pleasures. Just you and a large popcorn and some sour patch kids and all of your big goblin energy alone in the dark where nobody can see your shame. Priceless.
