Elon Musk and the Infinite Rebuy | the richest man in the world is nothing but the world's biggest case of survivorship bias - and a profound indictment of capitalism's "great man" theory

When you have infinity money, there's no risk in risking money.

As a rich white man, living in the largest economy in the world,with Ivy league education, the odds were pretty much in his favour.

So, dude is pretty much just bruteforcing through life because there's very little chance he'll be accountable for any of his Fuck-ups.

People call it brilliance, when it's just dumb luck paired with personality disorder.

Musk’s management philosophy — his “production algorithm”: (1) Question every requirement, (2) Delete any part or process you can, (3) Simplify and optimize, (4) Accelerate cycle time, (5) Automate.

which may explain the sycophantic tone here

Really good read. I had trouble determining if the author had a bigger problem with Musk or with Isaacson.

Illegal anti-union actions are a problem for the Democratic party coalition.

This guy doesn't know Democrats very well. But generally a good article.

Bonus points for the best bit:

If the most-clever users got to run Twitter, then Dril would be Twitter CEO!
