Apology for Printers
Benjamin Franklin
Like Benjamin Franklin in his “Apology for Printers,” @elonmusk believes when truth and falsity have fair play, truth will win out. Franklin would also have liked an “edit” button. And he would admire innovation involving physical things, such as batteries (first named by Ben!) https://twitter.com/squawkcnbc/status/1511307115272585224
