“Elon is losing it” is cope. 

You don’t have to like him, agree with him or even want him to succeed, but pay less attention to his tweets and more attention to the hardware. (Also Ford is now using Tesla Superchargers.)

agreed, but this particular development is the edge of the knife. if they have the same hiccups as animal trials, there will be no shortage of amplification for critics.

that being said, I really want to see neuralink succeed for neurodevelopmental research. imagine this was the way we ended curing alzheim/parkinsons.

I used to think more in this way. I’ve since learned how top talent is very  difficult to accumulate. Even if Elon was just a glorified conductor of a skilled tech orchestra, I’m convinced he is still uniquely essential.

I just think ascribing all these successes to a single person is weird.

Both “Elon can do no wrong” and “Elon is losing it” camps are lame. Pay attention to his tweets. Pay attention to his work. Maybe he both sucks as a person and ships quality things.

but with enough spin, he can mess around in pop culture zeitgeist culturally while the aforementioned co's build the actual moat (sheer scale).

the only way I can see this backfiring is if enough retaliatory pressure manifests in FAA/ FDA/ FMVSS. 

still agree w/ @barmstrong & jessep about separation of work | politic

I would say this is the vibe, but then again (and ngl I'm not familiar enough w/ this domain), but how much is investor activism going to shake things up? Tesla is doing amazing w/ growing FCF, and that imho is the money behind the conspicuous distractions.

🌶️take: I think Elon sees twitter as already dead....

What about people who are big fans of SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink but think “Elon is losing it” over Twitter and culture war politics *specifically* because they worry those distractions delay / diminish success of the first three?

I’m in the “Elon massively overpaid for Twitter to a degree that will yield continued poor execution of his vision” camp 

Wow. This is BIG news. The FDA doesn't grant these trials lightly.
