Brian Eno on Elon Musk/DOGE: "This is a classic example of someone climbing up into the cockpit and throwing away the ladder. Musk had so much help with government grants, and tax relief to get those businesses going." www.youtube.com/live/uogmc-c...

Bam, Bam, Bam. I’ve finished my 1st Musk portrait and I’ve got a brilliant line-up this evening as I start the 2nd.

"Both of them are people who really want to be loved. It related to Elon’s dad, and Frederick Trump. Elon Musk gave an interview in 2023 when he talked about the weakness of wanting to be liked. It was about advertisers pulling out of Twitter." [email protected] on Musk & Trump
