Can I introduce you to Matt Levine? A very popular opinion columnist - you can get his column by email even without a subscription to Bloomberg, but he’s one of the reasons I subscribe.

His take on this was emailed out midday yesterday and I enjoyed every minute: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-04-04/elon-m...

You can find an archive of columns here: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/ARbTQlRLRjE/matthe... and the email sign up is at http://www.bloomberg.com/newsletters (it used to be a bit easier to find… but pick “Money Stuff” from the list)

Well, the recommend may have bounced off the intended target but I appreciated it.

I personally find this style of writing pretentious, obnoxious and egotistical.

Yes, it can be. It can also be funny and informative, though. Check out the archives, a lot of topics build on past articles and not everything is a joke, sometimes there are clear and simple explanations of financial terms: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/ARbTQlRLRjE/matthe...

He keep making jokes about how boring and unimportant he is compared to the people he writes about. How do you get pretentious or egotistical?

He's a harvard/yale educated lawyer who worked at goldman and Wachtell, Lipton. Of course he's pretentious and egotistical. He's also funny and informative.
