TL;DR - Tesla is a ride...of a lifetime and Elon is, for better or worse, in good times and bad, in complete control and we will all benefit from it immensely. Maybe much more starting 12/9.
Elon is not your average billionaire, nor will he act like he has any money, at all, ever, he's an engineer, with the heart of a physicist, soul of a maker, drive of an innovator, spirit of an entrepreneur and the will of a true warrior. He works tirelessly and we had too many, way too many 'drives' (where we produced AP code for him to drive) well after working hours as well on the weekend. I pushed code to his car while it was parked at his house 100's of miles away and then patiently waited for his feedback which usually was within hours (unheard-of for a CEO). Do you think Gates or Balmer did that for me while I worked on Windows? (ok, Sinofsky did, he was cool) or XBOX? I soaked up all the feedback I could get from Elon. But I digress...
Elon is, has and will continue to tweet emotionally about things that have no basis or connection toward Tesla, SpaceX, Neurolink or Boring.
For those of us born in the mid 70's (and possibly more) his references are pure gold and give perspective as well.
For those of us born in the 2000's and into tech, he is the only person to work for, hands down, doesn't matter what he says on Twitter.
For those of us that don't fall into those two timespans, it is most likely much harder to read those tweets. I, for one, am in the former 70's category, and don't like reading them, but realize I'm not Elon and when I put myself into his shoes, I realize he is being harassed by politicians and I understand lashing out, but to a degree. I'm reminded of this
poem and I think it sums up his will up pretty well. He knows the planet will die if we do nothing, he knows that the tech can be built to stop it, so he's doing it and the reward is ONLY for the planet to NOT die. If you think he's in this for the money, power or even the american way you will most likely not be able to predict, with any confidence, his next move.
And he inspired people to guess like this:
