They have to release their 1st quarter financials on April 28th and I bet those are in the portapotty. Which means their poison pill didn’t work and the board of directors were informed of the potential for personal liability for breach of fiduciary duty.

Musk played them and the situation very well.

Hybrids are suited to the current state of the technology.

Vehicles that are electric only will someday be the best choice.

Combustion—>Hybrid—>all electric

Everything Musk does is aimed at his ultimate long-range goal of Mars colonization.

For that, he needs innovative human capital which requires free and open debate and exchange of information and ideas, worldwide and without government censorship.

Twitter/Starlink is the platform he plans to build on. It will also evolve into interplanetary communications.

You can bet that if he had owned Twitter before the pandemic, dissident Chinese Drs and scientists would have let us know in real-time what really happened in Wuhan.

All of Musk’s companies are about creating and perfecting the tech that will be needed for Mars. Even NeuralLink is about Mars. The initial terraforming steps will be done by robots supervised by neuralinked humans on earth long before the first humans step foot there.

That’s my theory, and I’m sticking to it.

I doubt seriously we’ll ever colonize Mars. It’s a world that used to have lots of water. Then somehow they lost the protective magnetosphere and you’ve got Mars.

Probably colonize the Moon in order to make space travel super cheap.

Musk ain’t friends with Gates or Bezos

Hes a contrarian as opposed to those 2

I’d deal with him before either of the others you mentioned

” A MUTE POINT “


Dad Gum It. How many times to I have to tell you, it is a “MOOT” point. Not “MUTE”.
MOOT.
MOOT.

Like Young Biff telling Old Biff “Hey old man why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here”, and Old Biff yelling at younger Biff, “It’s ‘make like a tree and leave’”. You sound like an idiot.”

Hopefully that bearded leftist wonder anti Trumper, former CEO of Twitter , Jack Dorsey, will have an exploding head event. Hey, he brought it on himself!

Actually Elon and Jack are friends. I think this all happened because the Twitter board is out of control. The final straw was banning the Babylon Bee for humor the board didn't find funny. Only an immature child mind would do such a thing on an international platform like this. Can't take a joke? Get out of the deep end of the pool. The gene pool. Fully dysfunctional board who are way overpaid.

No fluids (except window washing fluid), brake pads are only applicable from ~3mph to zero, so brake wear is neglible.

Not what they’re talking about. There’s suspicion that a *lot* of the Twitter account numbers used to justify actions of other companies and individuals (”But there’s thousands of people on Twitter telling us to cancel someone/something!”) are not actually human account holders. They are either alt/sockpuppet accounts (one person controlling multiple accounts) or just full on bot accounts (computer controlled accounts with no human behind them). Several networks of bots and alt accounts have already been uncovered and the thought is that huge numbers of these accounts all spewing roughly the same thing may not be humans at all. Hence the need to authenticate that the accounts are backed by people.
