Elon Musk seems pretty free. He just pays the fines time to time.
- ralfd 5y agoYes. I guess Musk is the exception proving the rule.
- kwertyoowiyop 5y agoOf course, exceptions don’t prove rules, they disprove them. Maybe Musk is showing that CEOs could say a lot more than they choose to, at least if they have charisma. And run certain kinds of businesses, appealing to a certain kind of investors and customers.

- kwertyoowiyop 5y agoI just think it’s sometimes used when it shouldn’t be.
- bluedays 5y agoWell i think in your case you’re the exception proving the rule
