Elon's Drug Denial, Trump's Tariff Play, and Taylor Swift's Master Move

I think he's decided that the half-life of Musk's usefulness to him is over. He absolutely doesn't want to piss him off. He's got an incredibly powerful platform. He does not want him spending a lot of money. The thing about Musk and drug addicts in general is they generally aren't that reliable or consistent. And so I think Trump is a bit afraid of Musk and goes, this guy could turn on me.

So I think he's trying to thread this needle of getting him out of the White House. Supposedly, him and Besant basically almost came to blows, and it was creating real chaos in the West Wing. So he wants to get him out, move him aside, and at the same time, stay on good terms with him. This is essentially what every manager's goal is.

What Trump is trying to do is what every good manager's goal is, and that is the following, and this is my approach to firing. That is, you will constantly managers, whenever I ask about someone that we're worried about, people will constantly make excuses for them. We're doing this, we're redefining the job role, and I'm like, and this is going to sound terrible, I'm like, fire them.

I've found nine times out of 10 when someone's not working, The people making excuses and recasting that it's the organization's fault. I'm like, okay, the organization's not changing. And the sooner we can move, the more generous we can be. I think you are rapacious and capitalist when it comes to these decisions, but then you're as generous as possible.

You sit them down and you say, listen, it's not working here. We can go into why, but what we're gonna do is we're gonna let you stay as long as you need to so you don't lose your health insurance. You don't have to worry about money in the short term. We're gonna help you find another job. And I think that's the objective here.
