Actually an -infinity to 0 guy. His main talent is a PE type talent on steroids: taking old, ossified industries and rejuvenating them. He is uncanny at exploiting neglected “money on the table” refinements in mature sectors (battery chemistry, welding, cheaper solar) and mature regulatory regimes.

is a text based social media platform also a “money on the table” refinement in this framing? (genuine question)

Definitely not. It’s a whole new capability he sucks at. Even if he weren’t primarily solving for the crushing debt load and didn’t have his dumb political axes to grind, he’d suck at it. To the extent human-digital social systems have first principles they won’t be codified enough for him to use till 2123
