The irony of google's former motto “don’t be evil” and microsoft even creepier. Steve Job’s early apple days with 1984 ad was wonderful and sad to see what it has become.

As for Elon, I'm not a fan girl, I disagree with his authoritarian approach, concerned about potential privacy breaches and surveillance, and I strongly dislike the idea of having multiple children with different women. But having worked in and managed high-tech manufacturing, I have great respect for his work - He may have acquired the EV and autonomous tech but setting up mass manufacturing car making at rapid speed for a large product which includes various mechatronics, high signal measurements and future tech is complex. Switching between modes of businesses requires strong focus.

I do have a lot of respect for Jack - when he realised the power balance was not directed to the people he backed out and funded protocols and financial systems that would give power back to the people. And he told Congress that no one, not him, not the government, should have that much power - and I think that's brave, principled, and reflects strong grounding.

Btw I liked your Rene Margritte note very much. You might enjoy this piece.
