How does Elon Musk get some much done???

Most interesting to me anyway. How about you? There’s a lot of going on in the world, but no other person alive seems to be able to handle so many impossible jobs at the same time as Elon Musk.

You have to admit, what ever his secret is to execution, it is one worth figuring out.Here’s a solo pod attempt by me to answer this question.

Taproot Assets & USD On Lightning W/ Joltz_BTC
