The debacles with the Max and 787 (and maybe the nascent 777X) aren't down to incompetence, they are the byproduct of intentional, planned cutbacks of key talent and infrastructure done under the aegis of a federal government that will bail them out. Malicious, short-sighted, sure. Not incompetent.

At least make it look like a real accident. Smash his head into the pavement and put a banana on his shoe. Anything but this bullshit.

If you've got 10 tweets from 1997 you're in line to get a Nobel Prize for inventing time travel. ... which you obviously would have used to go back and kill Hitler if you weren't a loving Nazi.

I’m honestly not sure if there is single day since Elon Musk appointed himself the Technoking of Twitter that he hasn’t made ten bad tweets. Maybe there was a day when he was too sleepy and too drugged to keep up his busy posting schedule.

Fucker has been babied by jerkoff interviewers like Lex Friedman fawning over him like he's the second coming off Jesus Christ. He gets the mildest pushback and just breaks down.

He absolutely knew. There are video essays on YT about him. He got interviewed by a PAO for a piece, too. RIP to a real OG.
