Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

The head of the FAA tried to fine Musk for SpaceX violations. He’s gone now too.
He will get what he wants unless/until someone stops him.
