No he's rich, so he is just "eccentric". What a sellout.

That's one of the rules I learned long ago. When you're rich enough, you're not crazy, you're "eccentric".

Yup, it's exactly that deference that gives people like Musk a permission structure to thrive as sociopaths. pg is part of the problem.

Leaders need to have enough integrity and humility to admit when they're wrong. Giving them a pass for being "eccentric" denies them opportunity for self-correction.
