Subject: Good Reads; Issacson - Musk
Very insightful and what a complicated many faceted character, pure, driven genius.
Enjoyed the chapter about Gates approaching Musk for the Giving Pledge whilst having a large short position on Tesla. Elon didn't like that; apparently Gates lost $1.5bn.

"Gates is a hypocrite".....
Giving Pledge with a focus on the environment and good for humanity, whilst shorting one of the most successful EV companies.
Gates finally send over his 5 key giving themes, must asks "do you still have a short on Tesla" Gates "Yes" results in a twitter shitstorm.
Neither side gets it.
Grimes , called it a "Dick measuring contest".
