Was at the Dave Chapelle show at SF tonight and who comes on but Elon Musk!
A good 80% of the stadium boos. 18k people. and he withers. Like absolutely turns into a corncob.

Going a step further: the dude is a classic narcissist. He's going to really struggle to realize marrying the Twitter brand to the Elon brand may not work out in the long run.

Personally I would have recommended female-preference primogeniture for the British Monarchy. It kinda worked out pretty darn well for 70 years. And then this lady would be sovereign
