19. Here's some prophetic wisdom from a former manager that actually came true

I worked in a Silicon Valley company where I reported to a director. She had 3 managers who had worked for her in other companies that followed her to this company. One pearl of wisdom that one of these managers shared with me was that "There IS a "LIST," if she puts you on it, you will never get off of it, and YOU WON'T KNOW THE SECOND SHE PUTS YOU ON IT."

And he was right as rain on all counts.

She basically ended up firing me, giving me an end date (which was VERBOTEN in this company without the customary verbal and written warnings), and she WENT DOWN TO HR TO HAVE THEM DOCUMENT THESE NON-EXISTENT WARNINGS I never got and BACK-DATE them to make my firing look "legit."

And this, basically, is how Trump operates. Once Trump makes the decision to drive the stake into Count Musk's black heart, MUSK WON'T SEE IT COMING so he will be UNABLE TO STOP IT.

And I think he knows it, which is why he's being an evasive wimp in interviews.
