Just a guy. I've never been cool but am lucky enough to know and hang with some seriously cool kids. I'm bi-coastal (CA and ME). I work in marketing and advertising but try not to hold that against me. Quantitative. Desire to Learn. DIY. Kindness.

This is chilling. In September, as Elon Musk began buying Trump a presidency after Trump promised him a federal department he could use to destroy his enemies, Trump agents at the Heritage Foundation began filing FOIA requests to find anyone in government who had ever mentioned Musk in any document.

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.

As someone who plays guitar pretty poorly, but loves it, my toxic trait is I hear a riff and I'll obsess over it until I can sit down and try to figure it out. Often not even a whole song. Yesterday it was the outro to The Beatles "You Never Give Me Your Money". 3 measures stuck in my brain.

And now as a Musk biographer, too.
