I think these texts on the whole actually reflect fairly well on Elon. Who they reflect poorly on is his all his hangers on or friends and who were trying to get in on. He comes across like a man whore who gets caught stealing his watch and then drops to his knees hoping if he filates him he'll forget about the watch he's just tried to steal too much. If they if Elon was smart, he would let people who are smarter make deal, my smarter on this stuff make the deal and get the hell out of it.
So many Elon texts. Kara and Scott discuss A-listers’ conversations with Musk, and TikTok’s wins and losses in Europe. Also, Liz Truss’s reversal on tax cuts for the wealthy, and Kim Kardashian’s crypto trouble with the SEC. Then, we’re joined by Friend of Pivot, Gabriel Debenedetti about his new book on the relationship between Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
You can find Gabriel on Twitter at @gdebenedetti, and you can buy The Long Alliance: The Imperfect Union of Joe Biden and Barack Obama here.
