“Elon Musk suffers from over promising and delivering a tad bit late – but not under-delivering.”

“A great frame inferred to encapsulate Musk’s hiring philosophy is the ‘two-hands test’. It means the candidate must have first-hand experience and a hands-on expertise in testing. Passing the two-hands test proves you have skin in the game.”

“Are you familiar with the phrase "to grok"?
It comes from the 1961 novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. The main character is a human raised on Mars whose English language is peppered with Martian words. "To grok something" means to wrap your head around a concept.”

“This responsiveness had nothing to do with that flabby impressionability which is dignified under the name of the “creative temperament”—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again.”

“Dear John Twitter
(Delete Twitter Sonnet)
For a long time I've been
backin' away from twitter,
but I didn't cut tie completely
hoping that it might get better.
Now that a far right billionaire baboon
has turned it into the internet sewer,
there's no point to hanging on to filth,
twitter used to be relevant, but no longer.
From time to time, colonial morons try to
bring back the good ol' days of segregation.
It's up to the human society to take charge,
and castrate their ambition through isolation.
Quarantine rabid dogs by absolute dissociation,
To entertain filth is to perpetrate uncivilization.”

“Yeah, I did not have DOGE being the center of the Trump administration before January 20, but it certainly has become the center. And, to me, it's revelatory. You get the richest guy in the world cutting off food for the starving children around the world. Like, that's the essence of what it is. The second thing it is, it's cruelty and ruthlessness. I have had so many conversations over the last couple of weeks with people inside federal agencies when the DOGE boys comes to count. And they are naked in their cruelty, that this agency disagrees with Donald Trump, people here, we don't like what you believe, and we're just getting rid of you. And so that cruelty is kind of naked. And, to me, it symbolizes something that is at the epitome of this administration. These DOGE people, Elon Musk, he went to Penn. The DOGE people went to Harvard, they went to Stanford, they worked at McKinsey. These are not populists. These are elitists. These are conservative microelites who've been in elite universities who play in the elite circles and they want to take it out on their fellow elites. And that's what this administration has become about, a battle between elites, not somebody representing the working class for problems that are real.”
“Curb Your Enthusiasm comedian Larry David, who was officiating at the wedding, was at Musk's table, and when they sat down, David seemed to be fuming. "Do you just want to murder kids in schools?" he asked Musk.
"No, no," Musk stuttered, both baffled and annoyed. "I'm anti-kid murder."
"Then how could you vote Republican?" David asked.”
“Don't worry about building the next Tesla. Build the next Elon Musk and Tesla will be born out of him.”
