Control is control. The committees all switch to GOP control and nothing gets passed without the GOP say so. And the wicked witch Nancy is no longer in charge. Let the investigations begin.

Don't worry, Breakdown. Nothing is going to get passed at all for the next two years.

Elon Musk made his first fortune when he sold PAYPAL to EBAY! He has had some great successes with other ventures since then.

But, I believe that his recent venture is going to be a financial disaster for him.

Am I not entitled to my own opinion- even if it turns out to be wrong?

I actually give Musk credit for his insight, and even his love of protecting Free Speech.

I also believe that Musk's good intentions of doing that, will blow up in his face as more people act on Conspiracy theories and Fake News, and outright lies- AND THE Mass Murders, and Politicians are the targets of such, and as POLITICALLY AND RACIALLY motivated SHOOTINGS JUST KEEP ON INCREASING DAILY.

He will eventually say, "WE NOW HAVE RULES"!

I think Musk is a nice man who has great intentions and he actually does want to do good things in the world!

So you may have misinterpreted what I have had to say about him, as I also believe as smart as he is, he still says things that are a little stupid!

Great points.

Geeks. Mark Cuban and his buddies developed some computer program that they sold for billions before he was shaving.

Musk might very well be a genius, but he's also demented. Without Musk, Ukraine has no satellite access. Kudos to him. Until he has a fit one night and decides to remove it. He already started limiting their access for certain ops. Ironic that he's 'censoring' the use of his system. I hope he doesn't decide that he's siding with Russia suddenly, solely because someone was mean to him.

His personality is pretty common with nerds that were bullied, who grew up to be wealthy geeks. An insatiable appetite for attention/control. And vengeance.

I believe we're witnessing a breakdown. His investors are not unlike those who threw money at the trump name (due to cooked books) and were the ones taking the hit as he disappeared with the cash.

Space Karen lost his space buzz. He yearns to be on the front page for weeks on end, but he hasn't taken any celebrities on a trip around the atmosphere in a while.

So he decided to make headlines, and move the market when he chose to buy Twitter. He got the attention buzz again, but I'm quite sure investors weren't happy. He tried to pull a 'never mind', but that wasn't happening.

Now he's got a shiny new toy that he thinks is run by drones who work 14 hours a day. Tesla investors are NOT happy. They're realizing that they bought the name, but it comes with baggage.

He might build the business end of Twitter back up at one point or another, but he officially politicized it. That typically guarantees a 50% drop in business. But as you say...it's going to be a shit show. Fun to watch with nothing invested. I think of it as a massive Libertarian experiment.

No censorship. At first. Then they twist themselves into knots defining parameters.

You wont bring Twitter down. For every LWer who leaves 1.5 RWers and neutrals sign up. You guys are soooooooooo used to silencing other peoples opinions that now you have silenced your own on the biggest social media platform on Earth. Many thanks... ;) :cool:

Dude, it's not we who are banning books about the slavery and the Holocaust and putting gag orders on teachers.

All that book-burning and speech prohibition is on the right.

The right is excited about Elon taking the guardrails of twitter so the racist right can start spewing racism and anti-Semitism again. It's what the right always does.

Dwhat?

Musk always says stupid things! Needs some examples?

1. On how to warm Mars up to make it hospitable for humans: "The fast way is to drop thermonuclear weapons over the poles."

2. On why Tesla's office needs a roller coaster:*"Everybody around here has slides in their lobbies. I'm actually wondering about putting in a roller coaster -- like a functional roller coaster at the factory in Fremont. You’d get in, and it would take you around [the] factory but also up and down. Who else has a roller coaster? … It would probably be really expensive, but I like the idea of it."*

3. On what he told Ford when it blocked Tesla's Model E:*"Like why did you go steal Tesla's E? Like you're some sort of fascist army marching across the alphabet, some sort of Sesame Street robber?"*

4. On deciding how he should go to space: "So next I went to Russia three times, in late 2001 and 2002, to see if I could negotiate the purchase of two ICBMs [missiles]. Without the nukes, obviously."

5. On how he held balloons in his hands and between his legs at one of his birthday parties, and let a knife thrower pop the balloons: "I’d seen him before but did worry that maybe he could have an off day. Still, I thought, he would maybe hit one gonad but not both."

6. On Egyptians and aliens: "Seems like an opportune moment to bring up the Fermi Paradox, aka 'Where are the aliens?' Really odd that we see no sign of them. Btw, please don't mention the pyramids. Stacking stone blocks is not evidence of an advanced civilization. The rumor that I'm building a spaceship to get back to my home planet Mars is totally untrue. The ancient Egyptians were amazing, but if aliens built the pyramids, they would've left behind a computer or something."

7. On the time he almost died from malaria while on holiday:*"That's my lesson for taking a vacation: Vacation will kill you."

8. On one way he could die: "My family fears that the Russians will assassinate me."

9. On how he'd rather die: "I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact."

10. On women:*"I would like to allocate more time to dating, though. I need to find a girlfriend. That’s why I need to carve out just a little more time. I think maybe even another five to 10 -- how much time does a woman want a week? Maybe 10 hours? That’s kind of the minimum? I don't know."

11. On the future of cars: "In the distant future, people may outlaw driving cars because it's too dangerous. You can't have a person driving a two-ton death machine."

12. On flying cars: "I've thought about it quite a lot … We could definitely make a flying car -- but that's not the hard part. ... The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that's super safe and quiet? Because if it's a howler, you're going to make people very unhappy."

13. On why he doesn't file for patents: "We have essentially no patents in SpaceX. Our primary long-term competition is in China -- if we published patents, it would be farcical, because the Chinese would just use them as a recipe book."

14."I don't believe in process. In fact, when I interview a potential employee and he or she says that 'it's about the process,' I see that as a bad sign."

15. Real fraud going on is denial of climate science. As for "subsidies", Tesla gets pennies on dollar vs coal. How about we both go to zero?

16. Basic premise is that it's better to try to address some of the world's problems than to create an aristocracy of wealth

I have all of his stupid tweets if you need more evidence. I have thousands of stupid quotes by him!

Next!

He's a Nazi child running a major social media company. It's going to end well for either him or the world.

Actually, like trump he does GAF. About public perception and accolades.

That's it. So he lies about everything. Nobody is buying pillows.

And nobody wanted his stupid submarine in that cave rescue, but he insisted upon making an ass of himself.

And then ended up in a defamation lawsuit because he called the coach a child molester

He also carried a sink into Twitter HQ with a stupid smile on his face, which was a crime against comedy.
 
I do not believe Musk. He sounds more like trump every day. His statements do not ring true and do not follow what investors and observers say.
