  • Apparently, SpaceX has special tactics to stoke his grandiose ego and trick him into giving them the freedom they need.

    It’s a tale as old as bosses. Many of them have big egos and think that because they’re in charge that magically gives them expertise. So if you want to do something you either get them looking at something shiny or you make them think it’s their idea.

    I had a boss like that ages ago. If I wanted to work on something out of the ordinary I would plant the idea, then a few weeks later I would remind him that he brought it up a while ago. I used the fact that he had a million things going on so he never really remembered who brought it up. I didn’t care that he got the credit because I got to work on cool things and expand my repertoire.

    In Texas? Eddie Cruz sounds like a guy who drives an El Camino and has a cousin named Cooter. He’d have been the presidential nominee in '16.

    “Did you hear about Eddie and Cooter? They running for the big house! Get in the pickup, we’re gonna go vote!”

    As a fat redneck, you’re mostly correct. You just forgot to add the word drunk in there somewhere.

    Imma fry one up in about half an hour. I’m also gonna start drinking in just a minute. My fat drunk uncle who lost several of his fingers in a fireworks incident is smiling down on me from redneck heaven.
