A SpaceX intern once described eating lunch next to Elon Musk in the company cafeteria.
The intern said Elon sat down at a regular table with a regular tray of food. No entourage. No reserved section. He sat next to two junior engineers who were clearly terrified. One of them was explaining a problem with a valve component to the other.
Elon listened without introducing himself or interrupting. After about three minutes he turned to the engineer and said "have you tried running it at a lower pressure gradient first." The engineer stared at him. Then realized the CEO of the company had just casually solved a problem his team had been stuck on for a week.
The intern said what happened next was the part that surprised him. Elon didn't leave. Didn't check his phone. He spent the next twenty minutes asking the engineers questions about their work. Not CEO questions about timelines and budgets. Engineering questions about fluid dynamics and material stress tolerances. He was genuinely curious. The cafeteria conversation was indistinguishable from a technical review.
The intern said he understood in that moment why people work 80-hour weeks for this man. Not because he's inspiring. Not because he pays well. Because he's the only CEO in the world who sits in the cafeteria and solves your engineering problem between bites of a burrito.
People follow leaders who are above them. People worship leaders who sit next to them and prove they understand the work better than the people doing it.
CHIEF EXECUTIVES TO ACCOMPANY TRUMP TO CHINA
President Trump will be joined in China this week by 16 chief executives, including Elon Musk and Tim Cook.
The White House distributed a list on Monday of business leaders who are scheduled to be in Beijing with the president. Mr. Trump is slated to depart Washington on Tuesday and hold meetings with Xi Jinping, China’s leader, later in the week.
After the White House sent out its list, Cisco said its chief executive, Chuck Robbins, was unable to attend.
The inclusion of Mr. Musk in the delegation is the latest sign that the world’s richest man has restored his relationship with the president. Mr. Musk served as a top adviser to Mr. Trump and oversaw the administration’s effort to overhaul the federal bureaucracy. He departed the administration last May after a falling out with the president, but the two men have rehabilitated their relationship in recent months.

SHIPPING TRAFFIC THROUGH HORMUZ STILL LARGELY HALTED
(Reuters) - Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained broadly halted on Tuesday with only three ships passing the waterway in the past 24 hours, shipping data showed.
A U.S. blockade of Iranian ports has infuriated Tehran, prompting it to maintain its own restrictions on the strait, which had been typically handling roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supply.

The S&P 500 logged its biggest intraday reversal — at 3.6% — since the height of the tariff turmoil in April. Fed speakers continue to talk down another 25bp rate cut in December as the relatively strong Sept employment # today (+119K adds, highest # since April) cemented the no rate cut outlook.
