Not only does Elon Musk not have a clue what he’s talking about, but this is *exactly* what he tried to do at PayPal, claiming it needed a full “V2” rewrite of the code when it didn’t.
Instead, it shifted resources away from key areas, caused PayPal to lose much more money to fraud, and eventually got him ousted as CEO.
Last month, I wrote about Elon Musk’s time at PayPal and how he’s repeating his mistakes from that period: disconnect.blog/p/elon-musk-wa…

Elon Musk suspended Linette Lopez from Twitter after years of critical reporting on his companies.
In a new piece, she lays out Elon Musk’s playbook of exploiting workers while building a cult following. These tactics aren’t new.

“The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 created an obligation under international law to avoid the harmful contamination of outer space, the moon and other celestial bodies…”
