MORNING MUSING
I was able to listen to about half of the Spaces conversation between Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump Monday evening. Nosing around online this morning, it's clear that those who support the former president think it was good — maybe even great — and those who do not think it was bad — maybe even awful. Still, though, it's those in-betweens about whom I'm genuinely curious. Where are the undecideds? Where are the persuadables? I've put out the call on Facebook and Twitter for anyone who is one — or who knows one — to send them my way. I think it would genuinely be fascinating to speak with them and get their take — on the conversation and on the election in general. I'm starting to wonder if they're unicorns, though.
