Is there a book about how Ayn Rand was a total piece of shit that helped ruin America?

No that's why he wants to drill baby drill. To bypass all of the third world borders and get directly to Antarctica without having to deal with them.

I say do it. Because then whether it comes in as one state or 10, one per province, they'll be blue states. Because they'll all hate Trump for all of this bullshit. I'm sure the Republicans will love it. It's not like they've been fighting tooth and claw to keep Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia from becoming states because they would be blue states, or anything.

First existential crisis? There's isn't one. Once you make peace with that fact then you can overcome the existential dread of oblivion and move on content in the understanding that nothing you do matters in the long run, and focus your energy on something else.

Except he doesn't really have unlimited money. Like most rich bastards he had assets - aka, hypothetical money (investments). They take out loans using that hypothetical money as collateral, and then have to pay that money back over time, which they can do by earning dividends (hypothetical money increases that they can access without penalties) or selling hypothetical money for real money (possibly with penalties).

Musk borrowed an enormous amount of money, which saddled the loaners with hypothetical money that began to decrease in value, and were this unable to profit by selling it for actual money. They therefore have to trust that Musk will repay these loans or else sell them at a loss to some other dumb bastard.
