In the mean time… I guess delusional corrupt 80 year olds are what the people want.. Joe was just talking about what a great job Nancy did during the Great Depression…. And orange man just got indicted 7 more times. 1

With last night’s flight, Falcon 9 has now doubled the record for consecutive launches — 100 each — held by second-place finishers, Delta II and Soyuz-U. 200 successful launches in a row is nothing to sneeze at. Getting them done in under seven years and at an accelerating pace is incredible. https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-launch-group-2-10 Musk said prior to the launch of Starship that there was a 50% chance it would fail. But they're right back to launching satellites and the next Starship launch will succeed. Meanwhile his purchase of Twitter was great.

Bloomberg Billionaires Index released its daily rankings of the world’s 500 richest people just hours before Musk stepped into his private jet in Beijing to fly home to Texas. Musk’s first trip to China in three years came amid increased competition in the market for electric vehicles and rumors about Tesla’s future ambitions in the nation https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/?sref=GYlFC92K https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2023/06/01/hes-in-the-money-elon-musk-reclaims-mantle-of-worlds-richest-person/ Not so bad a year after all... 1

Just because you may not agree with his politics (he was a Dem), it doesn't make him an idiot. 28 minutes ago, Doc said: I used to be a huge Musk skeptic. Then I saw SpaceX land that used rocket back on a platform in the sea. Made me buy a Tesla and make a pile on Tesla stock. Now I think he's playing 5D chess with seemingly idiotic moves... 5 minutes ago, leh-nerd skin-erd said: Our world is such that Biden (or Trump if you prefer) is a president and leader of the free world, but Musk an idiot. 🤫
BillStime Posted July 1, 2023 Author Posted July 1, 2023 Private companies can certainly do what they please but why would advertisers support this? Just kill it - pull the plug.
The Frankish Reich Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 "Free speech absolutist" not quite so absolute as advertised: https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/29/tech/elon-musk-twitter-government-takedown/index.html Musk's Twitter is much more likely to grant a government's takedown request than Jack Dorsey's Twitter was. I understand Musk's objection: is it better that Twitter grant a foreign government's (or dictator's) takedown request, or have Twitter blocked entirely in that country? But still: an awkward position to be in for a self-appointed free speech absolutist.

If he did that we'd have to boycott him.

That's almost too much. Maybe I will join Twitter, and post radical opinions like "Taiwan should be free and independent" or "The CCP is trying to eradicate the Uighurs".

Elon will just work with the CCP to make sure no on in CHINA can read that. Oh, and perhaps help them to track down whether you are a Chinese student in America posting treasonous opinions. Other than that, he's an absolutist!
Doc Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 In other news, Threads users have dropped 70% since debuting. Shocker.
BillStime Posted July 23, 2023 Author Posted July 23, 2023 Makes total sense that Elon would rename Twitter X - it is, after all, filled with porn.
