Brett Taylor is probably pumped to be competing directly with Elon Musk after their Twitter interactions.



Almost no one is talking about Brett. Either he is here to scare Musk, or - more likely IMO - to act as a Musk lightning rod. Musk takeover part 2?


Have you guys considered that maybe he's there because he's extremely qualified and extremely well-respected by his peers? It's not some kind of weird power play, he's just lending a hand while they figure out the long-term board composition.


He’s extremely qualified and is one of the most influential people in the world.

It’s just comparable to a player competing against a team with a teammate who they didn’t like. There’s definitely some added drama.


Did I - in any way - conveyed that Bret is NOT at the board for his qualifications?


Yes - see your previous message for reference. Qualifications were not mentioned as the likely reason for his selection to the board


I mean, yes? You claimed that him being on the board has something to do with Elon Musk:

Source of said interactions? What happened?


Look at text messages from Elon’s Twitter takeover
