I've long resigned to the fact that there will always be ambitious assholes in the world. The best we can hope for is to corral the assholes in the right space. An asshole leading a tech/space company is far better than an asshole leading an oil company or running a country.

> corral

You do realize these are people you're talking about, not some animals to do your bidding?

Weird how you can judge someone's character based on a few tweets.

Calling someone a pedo because you don't like something they said is, at the very least, an assholeish thing to do.

The article did suggest that some of his weird behaviour might have been a side effect of using Ambien to sleep.

Sanofi's tweet reference the Rosanne situation seems relevant:

When people report driving cars, having sex, cooking entire meals and then eating them, and various other strange behavior while under the influence of Ambien, saying "racism isn't a side effect of Ambien" is a snarky and asinine tweet. It's the kind of cheap shot a writer for a late night talk show would write.
