Apology for Printers

Benjamin Franklin
Walter IsaacsonWalter Isaacson

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

I had a fun chat with Ashlee Vance about Elon Musk (he did a book on him, and now I’m doing one), the wild entrepreneurs on the frontier of private space exploration, and what it will mean to have 100,000 satellites in orbit. @ashleevance @elonmusk https://t.co/KlreEGUfMV
