'Reckless': Ex-Obama aide slams Elon Musk's 'high school cafeteria' antics

Raw Story  

Former Obama administration adviser Van Jones thinks tech billionaire Elon Musk can learn a thing or two from a famous Spider-Man proverb. “I would direct Elon Musk to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ‘With great power comes great responsibility,’” Jones said. “Elon Musk needs to recognize, buddy, you have way too much power to be acting like the high school cafeteria jerk. You need to calm down and treat people with respect because this is going to get very, very bad for a lot of people.” New York Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro added that Musk’s reasoning behind purchasing the social media platform formerly known as Twitter is now clear.
