      That was my first reaction to this.

      How can someone be simultaneously so powerful and so immature? What batshit insane circumstances have given this manchild so much influence?

      Well, it’s thousands less since he fired all l those twitter employees. And he wants Teslas to both be built by robots and to drive themselves. So at least he’ll be increasingly less responsible for jobs that are subject to harassment and racism as time goes by.
