I think Musk is probably surprised at witnessing an act of real principle and courage and defiance that comes from a sincere commitment to deeply held centuries-old values. That is a rare thing in our world. It is no part of his experience of the world insofar as I have ever witnessed it. And it's something to be cherished. I am full of admiration for that act. I hope it is emulated.

I hope it has vast consequences. It may not. It's easy from where I sit in Cambridge to think that Harvard is the center of the world, and it is not. And yet it is a really momentous decision. And I... I can't see. Musk lives in the world of the trivial. As profound as the consequences of his decisions are, he is a deeply trivial human being.

He delights in, you know, the goofy, snarky, four-word tweet, you know, with an emoticon after it. He's a trivial person.
