  It’s a typical instruction delivery speech structure:

  1. Okay, let me tell you how to ____ 2-n. <steps to do the thing> n. And that’s how you ____ (Optional) n+1. Any questions?

  Hence the text in panel 4 completes the pattern.

  I think the IDEA of Elon back then was charismatic and energizing. He was seen pushing space flight and EV’s forward into the future. Watching a video stream of the first Falcon flight to land the booster back on Earth was exciting. The fact that their stream was on the internet and full of interesting detailed real time telemetry and video was something new and different and felt like the future.

  But watching Elon the man talk and stumble through even early interviews and press conferences was not, and to this day, I find it painful to watch. A great orator he is not. But then neither is Trump, I suppose.

  Sure, but Elon isn’t charismatic in the slightest.

  The number of tabs I have open from sites I’ve clicked on, started reading, said “eh, I’ll get back to this later” and never have, says no.
