Richer than Musk: Joyce Carol Oates on her 88 years of watching, writing, feeling and loving

From the article:

That is what happened last November when she got into what Forbes magazine described as a “fierce online feud” with Elon Musk, “roasting him on his own platform [X]”, according to one literary magazine, with the tweet: “So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

i can only hope to one day have a fraction of her work ethic
