Yeah it's also a matter of taste, and I think most charisma dehydrates in the shade of Welles.

But there's no denying he had some type of amgnitism, a rockstar-like aura that very many people are sensitive too. With Elon he had a spell of 'cool nerd cred' due to him backing cool ideas. However he seems to repulse most people if they get to know him. Aside from money he has no people who want to be his friend.

Ah I may have conflated him with von Mannstein. Ty, fixed!

I know I overstated it a bit, and there was more to it, but I've read the same story thrice at some point.

I want trying to downplay the astronauts archievement either, though I found them thanking the Lord over criticizing the company that made a bird so prone to failure a bit strange.

The writing style I found very curious, though it was skillfully written I think there's art in being succinct, and that art was lacking it was almost literary edging.

There is an exorbitant of fluff in there though. Expertly so, it's no ai slop, but someone very cleverly writing, getting payed by the word and rolling it out.

'Thrusters failed, they turned off and on again, during that time the pilot had to manually fly it. Ironically thanks God afterwards.'

Is the gist of it, but there's a lot of introspection, retrospection, repeating, rehashing and rephrasing. Reminded me of this Mitchell and Webb scetch

Good. Now nationalize all assets of Russian oligarchs and sell them to buy weapons for Ukraine

Ironically, Hitler was a very charismatic man who people felt had a honest interest in and a magnetic personality.

You can feel something if that when listening to the Mannerheim tapes, the only recording of his actual speaking voice. When not shouting through a tinny PA system that warps his voice into the shrill shrieking that most people know, he had a lovely warm voice.

So Elon has very much less rizz than the Führer.

Bonds Wodka Martini does have 3/4 of gin and only 1/4 of wodka:

The International Bartenders Association (IBA) recipe calls for 45 ml gin, 15 ml vodka, and 7.5 ml Lillet Blanc in place of Kina Lillet
