    Well, Musk is just scum. Rich scum, but the stink is there. We’d all be a lot better off if that coterie of Tech Bros. were not in the active process of buying the US government.

    Excellent analysis of Musk. I’d add that he read a lot of science fiction and decided to try to buy companies to make it real. Maybe that’s why he’s pro-Trump who also thinks fictional characters are real.

    There is no reason to answer Fern or try to correct his “science” since his mind does not comprehend advanced thought. Once he shows some published work he has done, I might modify that conclusion, but until then No. And I doubt that he has any such published work,,,

    George Will in an article on Real Clear Politics gives Musk 6 months before Trump’s ego kicks in.

    FWIW I wonder if Trump is going to realize that Musk is the de facto president or if he is so lazy that he’s perfectly happy to have someone else do all the work while he has the title.

    Musk is not NEARLY as informed as he thinks he is scientifically. He made some good guesses and was endowed with the wealth to follow up on them, but I think his science is based on SF novels, not on science itself.

    “Nonessential” includes most of the scientists at NIH. We have been told that all experiments must be stopped in a shut-down. Animal care, cell culture maintenance and certain instrument maintenance (eg., NMR magnets) are continued, but nothing else. The budgets for each lab do not reflect the cost of maintenance materials, so that money is down the drain and not producing results. Now you wanna tell me that our research is a useless frivolity?

    Musk doesn’t care. He’s getting billions in government contracts regardless.

    The appropriate plans of exempt personnel in government are all in place. It’s going to be toughest on those, such as social security-dependent people, without a check in the holiday season.
