I projected this and so much more on (formerly) Twitter HQ in San Francisco. You can see then are sign that used to show the company name.

Recently I was listening to the podcast Knowledge Fight and heard musk speak for the first time on a twitter conference call thing with Alex Jones. I never knew how bad he is at public speaking

The voice is from a weak jaw and diaphragm but the words are from a weak mind there's a lot going on there

Being bad at speaking, and being a raging asshole who thinks 7th grade 9gag humor is funny are 2 very different things.

Nothing directly wrong with 7th grade 9gag humor if you keep it to yourself to giggle in your private time. Don't dump it over the world as a CEO, though

He has a lot of issues; I guess I just assumed that he was charismatic in some way I hadn't seen yet, and that that was influencing people into this cult of personality. But he stammered his way through nervous, awkwardly-worded questions like it was the first time he'd been handed a microphone at a lecture hall, and I guess it somehow still surprised me.

The fact that he was doing his level best to advocate for the Sandy Hook conspiracy guy, and to justify platforming him while he made yet more claims about the families, that I kind of expected. But I didn't expect him to act like he was nervous or awed to be there.
