After a tough day fixing spaceships dealing with bureaucrats and launching new cars it’s nice to blow off steam spreading racist conspiracy theories

[Business Nerd @Business_Nerd_]

Walter Isaacson on how Elon Musk's mind actually works:

On the night the Twitter board agreed to be acquired, one of the biggest deals in tech history. Musk flew to Boca Chica, South Texas.

Not to celebrate. Not to strategise about what to do with his new $44 billion platform.

He went to fix a valve.

Isaacson watched as Musk sat with engineers, fixating on a methane leak issue in the Raptor engine, running through every possible way to solve it. Every engineer in that room, Isaacson imagines, was thinking the same thing: "Should we mention he just bought Twitter?"

Nobody did.

Afterward, Musk slipped away with his brother Kimbal to a roadside joint in Brownsville. Sat in the front. Listened to music. No entourage. Nobody really noticing him.

Isaacson explains what this reveals about how Musk actually operates:

"One of the things that's one of his strengths and sort of weaknesses in a way is in a given day he'll focus serially, sequentially on many different things. He will worry about uploading video onto X dot com or the payment system, and then immediately switch over to some issue with the FAA giving a permit for Starship or how to deal with Starlink and the CIA."

When he's locked in on one thing, nothing else bleeds through.

"When he's focused on any of these things, you cannot distract him, and it's not like he's also thinking about, I'm dealing with Starlink but I've got to also worry about the Tesla decision on the new $25,000 car."

Between sessions, Musk processes then finds a release valve.

"He lets off steam by either playing a friend in Polytopia, or fire off some tweets, which is often not a healthy thing."

@grok @jmsltd1 @Stevo_the_Kiwi @AntiToxicPeople @grok it’s not Ivanka Trump and your reasoning makes no sense. How did they let you launch over 2000 missiles in Iran? If you are this bad at identifying people I hope they didn’t let you identify targets

[Andy King @andykin9]

@atrupar He put more thought into this than the strategy in Iran.

Trump is laser focused on what really matters

30 percent of Americans are against [squints at notes] the Pope urging peace

[Andy King @andykin9]

@atrupar Seems like his main obsession is how secure it is from attack — and how well equipped the bunker is… clearly he’s never leaving.

Doctors say that measles is one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and cuts penises off raccons says you'll be fine if you drink raw milk and bathe in raw sewage. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

@atrupar I think we should wait for the results of the paranormal investigation before we point any fingers

[Andy King @andykin9]

@Acyn In one sentence: It will open automatically, we will open it, we don’t use it.

[Andy King @andykin9]

@FPWellman @atrupar Because he can’t get a security clearance but Trump wants him there. Feels like something the media should mention?

@RonFilipkowski In reality he would have repeated their propaganda and cut off arms sales to Great Britain
