“Elon Musk was destined to fail. He’s lost in the smarmy world of politics.”
“As one Trump adviser remarked, ‘They think he’s a genius, but he’s a one-man wrecking ball.’ They’re half-right. Insomnia and bullying willpower do not a genius make, but they certainly can create the impression of one.” - Unherd

What strikes me with both Trump and Musk is that they both have impatience that has been sustained by their businesses--neither really has a board that tells them "that's really a bad idea" (e.g. Trump casinos, the Cybertruck). Hence when they got into government, and were surrounded by people smitted with their celebrity, they started making some huge mistakes. I'm praying, for the sake of our country, that they're not too big.
(and I write this, by the way, as a person who's voted against Donald Trump's opponent three times in the general elections....but who has always pulled the lever for one of his opponents in each primary)
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
