Scott Galloway needs every sponsor and supporting company to drop him immediately. He’s openly advocating for the killing of an innocent American, Elon Musk, for pure political reasons.
On the Pivot podcast with Kara Swisher earlier this week, Galloway said: “We took the Rosenbergs and put them up against a wall and executed them for being traitors. And I realize this is an incendiary statement, but I’ll make it and I believe it. I think Elon Musk is a traitor to the West.” He added that Musk “should be held to the same standards as every other traitor in the West.”
He doubled down after the backlash. On Election Day (November 4) on his Prof G Podcast he repeated the same framing with a Charles Lindbergh hypothetical tied to Starlink restrictions in Ukraine and again called Musk a traitor who should face the same standards. On November 5 he posted on Facebook that “Elon Musk completely betrayed the West,” called the midterms a reckoning, and pushed to nationalize SpaceX. An interview with Fareed Zakaria contained similar language with no walk-back or apology.
Galloway needs universal condemnation and should face the legal consequences for these outlandish and inhumane statements. Sponsors of Pivot and his other shows, including companies that advertise through the Vox Media network, should cut ties with him right now.
Galloway also needs to step back and examine what he’s doing by ranting against ending a man who’s working to help paralyzed people walk again and help humanity reach other worlds. Galloway is a deeply disturbed man. Nobody content talks or acts the way he does.
A rack case redesign made more room for controls and vents. That space matters.
For a control cabinet receiver, we designed a housing that clips onto a DIN rail. Better terminal access, with the IP rated protection still there.

A Roman marble torso sold for $34.3M this year. Those sculptors knew light and shadow do most of the work.
Caesar is my take on that. Barely any detail, just a profile, and you still know who it is.
Framed and ready to hang. $2,800.

Rotomolding usually gets talked about for water tanks. We used it for a fishing station.
It's one molded part with six tackle compartments, rod and reel holders and a worksurface with a ruler for the catch. Carries like a suitcase.

Spiral of Resilience is a Star of David in deep blue with a red and orange spiral at the center. It's about Jewish resilience after October 7.
Framed, 29.25 by 32.5. $3,500.

A benchtop filtration tool where the control panel lifts out to run inside a flow cabinet, and the balance boxes pack back into the case.
Small stuff like that decides if lab equipment gets used or sits in a corner.

The King is built from flat layers, stacked.
Up close you can't make out the face. It's all deep valleys and high peaks. Step back and the light lands on the peaks, the shadows fill the valleys, and he's there.
Framed and ready to hang. $7,500.

Logitech's new mouse lifts into a taller, angled grip. We came at it from the other end with the Ergoboard.
It's an armrest and mousepad on one platform that attaches to a standard office desk, so your forearm and wrist line up while you work.

Some people perform for every camera. This one started from an old beach photoshoot of a surrealist who never stopped performing.
I kept the theatrics and went green.
Framed and ready to hang, 17 by 17. $1,500.

About five hours. That's how long a team in Germany needed to print the outside walls of a 23 m² living module.
Funny, that's our number too. Our printer takes a demo part from CAD to finished in about five hours. Ours just fit in your hand.

London's Natural History Museum just moved 1,510 keys into networked cabinets.
We designed and engineered KeyLink for BuildingLink, concept through production. Biometrics open the drawer, and the cloud logs every key that leaves.

I've always admired anyone who can see a figure inside a solid block of marble.
Undine is my take on a small section of one of those statues. Framed and ready to hang.
$2,800 on Collect Art.

A tolerance is how far a dimension can miss and still work.
A spec sheet lists one accuracy number. A part needs a tight one where a pin meets a hole, and a looser one elsewhere.
We put the tolerance for the method on the drawing before shop time.

Arcade machines are moving into vacation rentals. Free play, all weekend, guests who don't go easy.
What keeps one earning: sealed controls, high-cycle parts, modules a tech can swap fast.
On our Plate Game project, we cut mechanical failures by 20%.

Sunday morning record on?
I cast Jazz as one word made of four jazz greats. A sax player in the J. A singer in the A. The other two hold the Zs.

Most chucks hold a wafer with vacuum or charge. Ours uses air.
For a wet processing machine, we engineered a pneumatic chuck with fingers that grip it from below. A tracking system pulls each finger back on time, so nothing collides as it spins.
