I actually quite enjoy when he’s exuberant, makes it more interesting. Boring leaders are boring.

In this example, Tesla and SpaceX have created at least tens of thousands of jobs in the state (Tesla indicates 50k+ if you include supplier related jobs), and California might be cutting off its nose to spite its face over $600k. That’s a very California thing to do, and if Musk loses his shit over that, it’d be a very Musk thing to do.

That kind of thinking got us #45. Some things are more important than entertainment.

Climate change is very important. Extinction level important. Don’t like the horse, run a better horse. This horse is doing pretty well despite the occasional tirade or Twitter meltdown. I can live with that.
