Every 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.
