I have been watching the HBO comedy/news/documentary show "Last Week Tonight" for quite some time now. I think I have been watching it regularly for a few years at least.
Although the show is labelled as comedy, there is a lot of serious reporting and fact-checking that goes into making this show. I have decreased my news consumption over the past several months, but this one I do happen to watch when I get the time.
The most recent episode concerned the problems in and coming out of Twitter. The video is linked below if you are interested.
I have watched roughly one-third of it yet, and I hope to watch the whole thing today, fingers crossed.
It is such a sad story. I understand that business success requires having an ice-cold heart and a ruthless attitude, where one has to become a predator to chase profits and drive competitors out. However, how can one wreck so much havoc on society? Are money and power an end to themselves?
Elon is certainly a smart guy with a cunning sense of business. I do hope he realizes the damage being done to the citizens of US and other countries, as I am not sure if this is the legacy he wants to leave behind. It reminds me of the quote from the movie Gladiator - "What we do in life echoes in eternity." I hope he ponders somewhere along these lines.
