He absolutely does. We’ve seen it in his prior reversals, when fortunes at his firms were down and he changed course savvily. The sycophants he’s surrounded himself with, namely, Jason Calacanis, Chamath Palihapitiya and David Sacks, do not. And that’s rubbing off on him.
More like when he gets called out on his lies and abuse, he buries what he previously said. When was the last time he talked about Hyperloop? Did he ever apologize to the person he accused of being a pedo? Robotaxis?
He lies to pump his stock or ego, then hopes people forget what he said. That’s not “savvy”, it’s just sleazy.
Shouldn't a person with a high ability for critical introspection be impervious to and deeply suspicious of the influences of sycophants?
