> A few years too late, my good friend and mentor, Andrew, explained to me something he calls **The Billionaire Rule, which is: Any time a billionaire wants to work with you, never say, “No.”** ([Location 1326](https://readwise.io/to%5Fkindle?action=open&asin=B0777FDL2H&location=1326&ref=bramadams.dev))

There is a ton of Elon bootlicking on Twitter, we need more JCR Lickidier…licking, or Claude Shannon bootlicking. That said, Elon is a complex man (who has passed his likability limit[\[2\]](#fn2)) and there is no doubt that this Starlink photo is awe inspiring.
