“roughly 1.35 trillion of pure narrative” is the best euphemism for pure bullshit that I have ever seen, @gnoble79. 👏 This is the most OUTRAGEOUS deal I've seen in my 45 years on Wall Street. SpaceX j

this kind of armchair nonsense is especially hilarious on day when I defended Elon’s lawsuit on CNN and in my newsletter. 🙄 @GaryMarcus @gnoble79 I'm not sure history is going to be kind to this take.
