I wonder what Musk’s political lean is a function of?

He bases this decision on all of the experience he has amassed, as a 61 year old man in the tech industry. An actual 17 year old, with 17 years of experience, would not think like this, nor should they.

Fair points, though let’s make a distinction here, as I would argue that Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark were GREAT ideas, not just good, though there’s some wiggle room in both of those labels for subjectivity. Not every movie is as commercially successful as Star Wars, but it might come away to public and critical reception as “good”, more than break even at the box office, and set the director up for being allowed to direct again.

Nowadays though, it seems like traditional movie studios only want mega blockbusters, which left the door open for Netflix and Amazon to create things with lower financial expectations, but still deliver quality.

So basically, I don’t equate good, with blockbuster, or whatever Schrader equates with good. I can fondly name 20 or 30 movies that made out okay, that weren’t necessarily hard for a good writer to come up with, that all had different subjects.

“Why should writers sit around for months searching for a good idea when AI can provide one in seconds?”

If it takes a writer months to come up with a good idea to flesh out with a screenplay, they are in the wrong business.

“ The device would work with Trump Mobile's service plan. For $47.45 per month, Trump Mobile's "47 Plan" (2), which operates on the T-Mobile network, claims to be "better than the rest," offering 100% U.S.-based support; extensive 5G coverage; unlimited talk, text and data; telehealth services; roadside assistance, and international calling to over 230 countries and territories.”

If you fell for that you deserve to lose your money.

“ They even discussed opening a mutually-branded clinic together in Abu Dhabi.”

Going after the big money, fad-following elite? Or does the locale mitigate the (financial) risk?
