When Musk eventually writes a memoir I'm going to be interested in what was going through his head during this whole period. Even speaking as someone who mostly agreed with his stated goals at the time of purchase, I don't think it's even possible for him to have executed in much worse of a way. Has there been nobody he trusts to tell him to stop acting like a power-drunk preteen?
- dragonwriter 3y ago> When Musk eventually writes a memoir I'm going to be interested in what was going through his head during this whole period When Musk inevitably writes a memoir, I would expect it to be largely self-serving lies driven by his PR interest at the time it is produced.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoEvery word Musk says is oriented not to reflecting facts as they happened, and are, but facts as he wishes they would happen. He's selling something, all the time, and looking for someone to buy it. A claim, an idea, a startup pitch, an excuse for an action, a product that is only but a figment of his imagination, but he's dead certain is almost done. At some point this becomes a habit, it becomes intoxicating, and compulsive. I don't think reading the memoir of such a man would be illuminating and informative, it'd be just another dose of the same. You're being sold something. And he's hoping you buy it.

- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoCurious what this is.
- Zigurd 3y agoStraussians are self-important fascists who think they can do Jedi mind tricks and Wish is where you go for cheap knock-offs.
- recursv_thnkng 3y agoMusk already has Water Isaacson following him around for a biography. Cant wait to read how Musk is earth’s savior and inventor of everything.
