Instead of a “renaissance man”, I’m a “renaissance nerd”. Pinball? Sure. Sci-fi? Of course. video games? Natch. 70’s Italian Prog-rock? A raison d’etre.
Doesn’t matter. If he leaves now, people will forget about his role soon enough, Tesla stock will go up, and in a quarter or two it’ll be back to the status quo, him being a centibillionaire but with the government dismantled. He wins. He needs to be constantly called to account and vilified and dealing with his companies needs to become synonymous with being a traitor.
He’s been useful, but it’s starting to hurt his pocketbook. So he steps back, people start buying teslas again in 6 months, trump doesn’t get the blame, they win.

…but does scream “happy 14th birthday”…
Yup. I desperately wanted Apple to support the PowerPc clones back in the 90s, and there are still times I wish that they were more open, but they have their place.
It got this from his phone contacts, so while some are totally expected, one wouldn’t necessary expect/want to see that he has some of those contacts.
PARTS of AI have been far from auto-corrupt for years. This autocomplete and LLM stuff is far newer.
Honestly, it’s really good. As are Balatro (roguelike poker-like) and Fights in Tight Spaces (John Wick fight scene deckbuilder roguelike)
All he has to do is step back. People have short memories. He has enough wealth to weather it until people forget and start buying Tesla again, especially if Trump keeps throwing him contracts to keep up the stock for a year. I wish there was better news, but unless sales flat out stop and the stock crashes, he wins. And the board will kick him and say “see, it’s fine now”, pushing aside the fact that his whole wealth is based on the stock, so even if he’s out, he benefits. That said, could he leave Tesla without the stock cratering? So maybe there’s a way he’s held accountable. But sadly, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
