I argued with a decel who despised @elonmusk . It started by him claiming Elon inherited $100M from his father. I asked him Elon’s father’s name. He didn’t know. He didn’t know a thing about Errol Musk. Just recited propaganda. Then he said Elon wasn’t even an engineer. Just

Apple announcing a $110 billion share buyback, the biggest in history, is sort of a weird flex. Clearly their business has created more free cash flow than any in history. But the fact that they can’t spend it well on R&D is concerning. They should get better at M&A.
