25 years ago this week I was diagnosed with cancer.
Doctor said I was lucky. “30 years ago,” he said, “I’d have told you to write your will.”
“Now it’s one of the most curable forms of cancer.”
This month I will meet my first grandchild.

Musk has no technical skills whatsoever, but he wants to appear smart. So he takes bits of information like this, told to him by junior engineers, and regurgitates it to appear smart.
Musk did this with the Twitter stack and Twitter's senior architects called him out publicly, then he fired them.

One of Musk's defining qualities is that he is a conspiracy theorist when it comes to government. He will see some ambiguous information or be presented with an easily debunked tale and he immediately believes the worst.
