As Kurt Vonnegut wrote in his poem “Joe Heller”:
True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!
Elon could've done this and make Tesla the biggest company ever. I remember when he was awesome future guy and everyone liked him. I think he got super drunk on this success and has been "chasing the high" in all the wrong ways ever since.
The difference was that he fired his PR agents in 2020 who stopped him from ruining their carefully created advertising. He never was that person.
Absotively.
dude just had to hang onto the ball and run out the clock
