To build a world-renowned web design firm based in Iceland (population 370k, barely bigger than Cincinnati, Ohio) is pretty astounding. Looking at the beautiful "coming soon" homepage [0] he presumably built for his restaurant (which is named after his mom [1]), I can see why he was well-respected in the field [0] https://annajona.is/ [1] https://twitter.com/iamharaldur/status/1633109753890058242
This is just an observation. I understand that some people love making lovely things, and that sometimes those things are at odds with being accessible to some people. But this is a real world example where I cannot access a restaurant website, even if the restaurant hasn't opened yet. So even now I'm still confused as to what's actually going on there.

> Looking at the beautiful "coming soon" homepage [0] he presumably built for his restaurant (which is named after his mom [1]), I can see why he was well-respected in the field Its literally just a pink background for me. Not sure if I'm missing something or if that's the joke. I'm not familiar with him and assume he's a great designer. I dont understand the reference here though.
Maybe it's a nice experience on mobile, but it's a nightmare on my laptop.

I cannot understand the Stan culture for Elon. I get it for the military guys who tell you to lift and make your bed. I get it for Joe Rogan. I get it for the MMA masculinity influencers. I get it for Trump and DeSantis. I do not get it for Elon.
I get it. Watching some of the videos of him giving tours around the SpaceX facilities, he comes across as a real first-principles thinker. So much of tech disruption is applying first-principles thinking to problems and coming up with better solutions. Given that he's so great at it, I can see why people look up to him for it, his companies are clearly successful for having built things from first-principles – elect…
And yet, Tesla makes like 10x the profit of German car makers per vehicle sold [1].
The established car makers still, over a decade after the first Tesla rolled on the streets, haven't come close to realizing just how screwed they are... the biggest threat to Tesla isn't the established car makers, it's Chinese BYD.
Don't get me wrong: Musk is despicable as a person. But those working under him have truly created awesome things.

Watching Elon makes me think about the things for which a large portion of the public made fun of Jack Dorsey. Regular meditation, month-long meditation retreats and emphasis on regular exercise or alternative measures are probably needed to keep operating at that level. I know I get in a much worse mental state without physical exercise and journaling or meditation.
The main reason why Elon is like this is that he's on the psychopathy spectrum. Meditation could perhaps improve his ability to keep the mask on, but it wouldn't change who he is.
Wasn't there a recent study that suggested that mindfulness meditation is correlated with an increase in narcissism, not a reduction?

What part constitutes mocking his disability?
Calling the disability "an excuse" for someone with muscular dystrophy that sits in a wheel chair could arguably meet that description.
