Passing the solid gold phone around the table …

I just loved this passage from Peggy Noonan’s latest column at the WSJ:

“As I watched (the tech titans) at the inauguration I abstracted. It was like Elon is passing the solid gold phone to Mark Zuckerberg, who nods and passes it to Jeff Bezos, who passes it to Sam Altman, who marvels at its weight and shine.

“That of course is taken from the scene in ‘The Godfather Part II’ in which the American business behemoths sit at a conference table in the palace of Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, as he communicates they’re safe with him because he loves business.”
