See my comment below but TL;DR I’d like to hear a bit more about “the great team” rather than Musk because I know behind that interview what hard work people are going through to make the things he is showing off happen.

“Great job team…thanks for making me trillions”

This one , as someone who often reads these types of mails is just a pep talk, to tell someone they respect me more than a rich person isn’t very flattering.

Look I think you just like Elon Musk a lot. I don’t mind him either, I just know almost all of his success is built on the back of a lot of hard working individuals, which I think is pretty hidden behind a dude in XXXL T-shirts




Almost all of everyone's success is built on the back of a lot of hard working individuals.

Questions are how do you get the best people, what do you tell them to work on, and how do you get good results?

Not everything is about you and the world doesn’t owe you anything. I’m afraid.


I actually thought more about this and I am curious, why you sent that video, what goalposts are you referring too?

I'm saying that I personally believe that Musk can have a pretty large ego at times, I don't find him to be a particularly humble person. I cite the time he injected himself into the Thai Cave Rescue and then called the guy who rejected his ideas a "pedo guy"? That's the type of thing I'm talking about.

Whenever I see him interviewed I can't help think of all the smart people who help him become that successful...why are you so worried about that?

I think that thread with JD is kind of reflective of my feelings. It's a blasé way to talk about a fairly large scale project which would have pretty big large impacts for a lot of people, including shareholders and employees at the company (Twitter), and to just talk about it like you're inviting someone to the movies seemed funny to me.

It almost just feels like you had that link bookmarked and were looking for someone to send it too?


You got to say it, congrats
