"What I wasn’t told was that we had 70,000 hard-coded references to Sacramento. And there’s still shit that’s broken because of it.”" Im pretty sure he was told but was either not really listening or comprehending.

Yeah "I wasn't told" is really "I wasn't listening" in narcissist language.

"I wasn't notified in triplicate, in writing, with the relevant sections underlined and requiring my signature for acknowledgment"

Even that wouldn't stop a stubborn narcissist.

Well, no, but it's good to have such documentation for legal reasons when said narcissist loses their shit and attempts to scapegoat you

Sounds like he did his best to make sure no one could tell him

She

Well, there's your first problem. Musk doesn't give a shit about what women think. The man is an S tier misogynist. He probably zoned out listening to this woman and wondered how many horses it would cost to get a handy out of her.
