    Elon is drunk.

    Can't spell "Kathy" and Jordan"

    At least he got "Bee" right.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  2 million votes in and Reinstate Trump is winning 60/40

                  It's as if the guy never loses.

                              That last bit makes sense for investors to have wanted in the papers. Though in the crazy days of SPACs they might not have been so discerning.

                                      I’ve spent decades trying to understand what project managers actually contribute. I suspect Musk has pondered that question as well.

                                      Amen. I was on the team that oh so painfully developed a health system's project management office guidelines and tools. It was two and a half years of hideously boring meetings to come up with something I could have told them in ten minutes. It doesn't make any freaking difference what project management methodology you use. You just have to have one.

                                      Over the years everyone has tried to make me a PM. I'm good at it, such as it is, because I'm not hesitant to challenge people who aren't doing what I want. I'd be an even more effective dictator. But it's an awful, thankless job with little if any personal satisfaction. You become in most cases a professional beggar, hoping people will actually do what they committed to doing.

                                          I hear the Trust & Safety team is available.

                                          You were warned.
