I was a little put off by that article, as you were, Fern. I thought the connection between Musk and Dorsey was interesting. I knew Musk had an authoritarian bent, but beyond that I really don't know anything.

Those people are EXACTLY as they are described. It's what happens when you get rich enough to live in "a world of no 'no.'" Your dumbest ideas get taken up by your minions who tell you you're marvelous.
The situation in Russia is highly illustrative of what happens when everyone surrounding the leader is a psychophant. You get an army with no NCOs, equipment that doesn't work, and inadequate training. From what I've read, Gen. McArthur had similar problems.
Don't get me going on Big Mac. Eisenhower was once his CoS in the Philippines prewar, and said "I learned all about acting - I served under General MacArthur." Half of his staff was the Public Relations Office - need I say why? You can get all the tear-down of MacArthur you'll ever need in my books The Frozen Chosen and I Will Run Wild.
Thanks, Pete. Troy's presentation was startling. My equaling troubling response is that the vision described seems Muskian given his biography and state of mind, which TC helped to elucidate and his mountain of money.
