Highly recommend the Steve Martin documentary! Such a fascinating person, and the whole “I was gonna get a doctorate in philosophy” thing was a big aha! moment for me in why his comedy was so innovative https://tv.apple.com/us/show/steve-martin-a-documentary-in-2-pieces/umc.cmc.7kkgskd7j0lomjoqdo97l80ql

No, New York Times, Project Titan's failure was a testament to how difficult it is to develop a new car by a company that has never made a car before.
Apple Vision Pro, Apple Watch, Apple Silicon, AirPods... all things that didn't exist before that Apple made since Steve Jobs passed. I think they're doing just fine.

“But within the context of Isaacson’s nine books, Musk is not an anomaly. In method and thesis, it is perfectly in line with a career built on promoting elite interests under the guise of biographical neutrality and insipid humanism. This time, though, his “genius” subject is idiotic enough to throw the bullshit at the heart of the project into stark relief.”
