Musk Goes Off - Hates Work From Anywhere


Musk just went OFF on #WFA.


"...people should get off their moral high horse with that work-from-home bullshit..." - yeah, he said that.


If been watching him for a few weeks(not in a creepy way & I am not a fanboy) he presents as a person who thinks more than he talks and I hadn't seen him emote until this session.


"...you're gonna to make everyone else who made your car come work in the factory... you're gonna tell the people who make your food that they can't work from home... the people that come fix your house they can't work from home but you can... does that seem morally right? That's messed up..."


Now to be fair, a few minutes before he says all this, he explains how he could sell Telsas for no profit, but look forward to a 5x profit from his EVs in the future.


Huh? What?

"The Things We Think And Do Not Say." Selling Copiers & Technology.


As management urges for higher productivity, AI and automation emerge as key allies in the modern workspace.

For decades, we in the copier industry have been telling prospects our hardware "increases productivity and reduces costs". 

We lied. 

Well, we defined the narrative to fit our mission of selling 10 copiers a month. (or whatever) 

The world is increasing productivity and reducing costs through more efficient workflows - and if you are simply selling copiers, printers, or MpS, they are doing it without you and viewing your relationship as a target for cost reduction. 

AI eats workflows 24/7 and will decimate everything from middle management to the C-Suite.

Don't Fear AI - Play It.



A violin is a technology.  So is a drum and at the base, language is THE technology.

Music is a process.  The analogy between this performance and business processes like A/R, Order Entry, and Customer services is stunning.

The photocopier, desktop, firewall, phone system, and spreadsheets are technologies. 

Beethoven created this with the technology of the day(1785) - What will AI help create today, that will be around 238 years from now?
