Summary
Today we’re talking about Elon Musk — not because we want to, but because we have to. As we all know, the man is rich. I don’t mean merely wealthy, I mean he could pay off a good portion of the national deficit.
He’s also not shy, to the point where he likes to tell entire countries what to do. They may not do it, but they’re forced to react.
Bloomberg’s Iain Marlow, who covers diplomacy, has written a great piece about what Musk is up to now.
