you know, Twitter and a lot of like social media adoption, you couldn't fact check these things and they just became apocryphal. So anyway, here can't blame any single person that needs to be said. As I write in my piece, people here in Los Angeles would like the all in hosts and everyone has VC founder in their bio and Elon Musk to shut the fuck up. Okay.

Like Elon Musk came here on Sunday and like, there's this thing about Musk that you've probably, it probably grates on you too. He has accomplished a lot. This guy, he is smart.

But since like getting the political bug, he has this like, like annoying college sophomore contrarian thing going on.

He like just Wikipedia something, then postures as an expert. So he goes and live streams on X to the Palisades, talk to these firefighters. And he's like, so you guys ran out of water, right? You didn't have enough water. Right. And the firefighters are like, well, no, we had enough water. It's just the volume of these flames. It was too much to fight with the flow that we had.
