> The goal seems to be to be as irrational and self-harming as possible, because rationality itself is considered some kind of narcissistic injury. So I don't expect this to end well. While both Trump and Musk clearly demonstrate (the popular conception of) narcissistic injury when being told they're wrong, Musk also demonstrates that there are conditions where he doesn't respond so poorly — rockets. I have no idea if that's going to make a difference. > Neither Musk nor Thiel understand the structural differences between being a CEO and running a successful country. I have no option about Thiel in this regard, despite him generally giving Bond Villain vibes. Musk I agree; if I was cryogenically frozen tomorrow and woken in 50 years to the news that Musk built his Mars colony but it failed catastrophically, I'd guess Musk's lack of understanding about governance was why. |
