Quote Elon's judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. "I am your wife," I told him repeatedly, "not your employee." "If you were my employee," he said just as often, "I would fire you." By the time eBay bought PayPal in 2002, we had moved to Los Angeles and had our first child, a boy named Nevada Alexander. The sale of PayPal vaulted Elon's net worth to well over $100 million. The same week, Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing. He was 10 weeks old, the age when male infants are most susceptible to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead. He spent three days on life support in a hospital in Orange County before we made the decision to take him off it. I held him in my arms when he died. Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada's death. I didn't understand this, just as he didn't understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as "emotionally manipulative." I buried my feelings instead, coping with Nevada's death by making my first visit to an IVF clinic less than two months later. Elon and I planned to get pregnant again as swiftly as possible. Within the next five years, I gave birth to twins, then triplets, and I sold three novels to Penguin and Simon & Schuster. Even so, Nevada's death sent me on a years-long inward spiral of depression and distraction that would be continuing today if one of our nannies hadn't noticed me struggling. She approached me with the name of an excellent therapist. Dubious, I gave it a shot. In those weekly sessions, I began to get perspective on what had become my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need them because they bring in the attention and bacon, but you also need to keep their ideas and hands far away from anything. If you know the name of an exec, leader, game dev, who does interviews and videos and are known by the fans. They are 100% like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 The “staging” stuff reminds me of an old job. We’d basically slow down production to keep no material in mid process when the old ceo would come around. He liked to see the process “pull” material through rather than be “pushed” his company so whatever, we did it then when he left (his schedule was carefully managed by VPs with years of experience dealing with him) we went back to what actually got material out the door on time which was important in the “don’t get yelled at today” sense instead of the “get your bosses and thus you yelled at today” sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a way of phrasing things that paint amusing and absurd pictures in your mind but, likely thanks to the shotgun blast nature that absurdity allows him to work in, a shocking number of his posts have "come true." He's basically got a knack for creating text based memes out of nothing. If you aren't into absurdity or non sequiturs though then yeah there isn't much there for you.
