You don’t want a teacher in front of a board? Fine. I don’t want a serial bullshitter confidently talking nonsense in front of a class.

He also has something cslled The Foundation.
Bloomberg reported the filings show Musk donated $100m to his charity, The Foundation, to establish a primary and secondary Stem school in Austin – and later to seek accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges for launching a university.
Not confused with:

Yeah that’ll probably end up working just as well as his other projects.
No way I’d entrust a child to him or that school, but here in Austin it’s a safe bet he’s already got takers lined up, waiting to enroll their young 'uns.
That feller just ain’t all right.
Gives me a case of the howlin’ fantods.

Over the past week, a disinformation campaign operated by the Kremlin-aligned network Doppelganger amassed over 130,000 views on X, according to data shared exclusively with WIRED by Antibot4Navalny, a collective of anonymous Russian researchers who have spent years tracking the Russian influence operation.
Doppelganger is well known for using a network of inauthentic bot accounts to spread links to fake versions of real news websites. In the past, the network has impersonated websites as diverse as Le Monde in France and Fox News in the US. In recent months, the Doppelganger network has been used to stoke tensions in the US over the border crisis in Texas and boost false claims that celebrities like Taylor Swift were supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

I have heard that shed loads of amphetamines are almost psychedelic and they also make you paranoid. Famous speed freaks include Ayn Rand, Philip K. Dick*, Nick Land, L. Ron Hubbard, nazis etc.
I sometimes think that dangers of amphetamines are more to do with the mix of paranoia, hallucinations and the stimulating effect on author’s/philosopher’s brains and output then the life destroying addiction.
*Exception that proves the rule.
