Musk became Donald Trump's #1 political donor, assumed a high-profile role early in his administration, and in that role inflicted incredible harm on some of the most vulnerable people in the world while failing to achieve any of his stated goals.

I get the impression that a lot of people, including many with advanced degrees, don’t know that if Elon Musk tried to sell all of his stock at once the value of the stock would go down. It’s like the people who think if we find a gold asteroid it’d be worth the current price of gold when brought to market.
@domhnall_g I don’t really care about inequality very much. I care about poverty, I care about prosperity. Getting your panties in a bunch about inequality is an aesthetic gripe masquerading as a policy preference.
