Using Musk as an authority to be trusted is a very interesting decision in August of 2023.

  that’s the angle. if you think musk (or zuck) is dumb, well, this one weird fact they discovered about worker productivity will shock you. it’s clickbait. it held your attention enough to comment on it. but that’s only a partial success. did you click?

    No, because I don’t trust them, and honestly don’t care much if I did as I disagree with the idea that being in an office is necessary (for most jobs). I read the title as something akin to “[people you’re supposed to think are smart] know this so it must be true”. With that reading, Musk seems like a particularly bad choice.

      nor should you trust them, but your reading is exactly the intent. rich, successful, powerful people know this thing being stated as fact. musk is a great choice for most readers. (not here, this is a filter.) he’s a billionaire. they aren’t. that’s plenty.

  Can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier? Why not Tim Cook? Runs the biggest and most profitable company in the world and pushes RTO. They make innovative products people love. Wouldn’t that be better? No. Choose the guy who overpaid for a company, trashed the business, can’t pay its bills, and is now getting into battles with the city and his landlord over permitless “improvements” to the HQ.
