Realistically though, what could the EU do to Twitter in the case of losing in court? Assuming he doesn't care about the EU side of thing.

Twitter's EU headquarters are in Ireland. There are absolutely things that the EU can do to Twitter.

to the GQP base, anyone who sits down, thinks, and discusses a difficult decision is engaging in a conspiracy. and for some reason Taibbi seems to have bought into that?

They're clearly saying that they don't want to suspend the accounts unless they really need to because they need to be handed over to the new administration. It's the exact opposite of what he's saying!

Clearly, according to Groundbreaking Journalist Matt Taibbi, that's not that big of a deal. What's a little couping between friends, right?

However, wanting to keep stolen pictures of his son's monster dong off Twitter? Now that is a permabanning offense and I'm sure Elon agrees with me.

(Oh god I hope he really does, that might be the funniest possible outcome to this entire Twitter Files fiasco.)

LMAO. 9 untrained young people on something like a 20-day flight? And the rocket they're supposed to take isn't even out of alpha testing yet? Just reading the Wikipedia for the Starship rocket is a barrel full of LOLs at how far the rocket is from not immediately killing any living thing remotely near or on it.

Just like everything else connected to Elon, this is another great way to keep the stans in line and drum up another media cycle that will treat this poo poo as actually possible. This is Cyber Truck, Cyber Semi, Boring Co., and Hyper Tube all over again.

Even if it were happening (it won't), we'd either watch them crash or explode in a ball of fire, or get new data on how pill abuse and alcohol in space causes strokes, heart attacks, or organ stoppage.

You'd think so, but he could grab a few Tesla engineers and have them whip up prototypes of smooth, white pill-looking coffins that can self-drive and go on tours and allow family members to stay home and get private viewings in their driveways.

Hey now, there’s still plenty of room left for innovation in the death industry. Just look at those airtight coffins that turn the body into goop and then explode from the pressure. Musk could make something like that but better, easy

quote:

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says his company’s massive Starship rocket could complete its first orbital flight test as soon as October 2022. If the flight is a success, SpaceX will be a major step closer to its goals of revolutionizing spaceflight — and making humans a multi-planetary species.

Starship launches have an estimated cost of $10 million, while NASA’s Space Launch System is expected to cost $4.1 billion per launch.

The savings: SpaceX is designing Starship to be the world’s biggest, most powerful rocket, and because the craft is built to be reusable, launches should be dramatically cheaper than with expendable rockets — in 2019, Musk estimated that the cost per launch could be as little as $2 million.
Elon never knows when to keep this mouth shut.

quote:

That first test flight could happen in late October, but “November seems highly likely,” according to Musk, though a delay is always possible — SpaceX and/or Musk have previously predicted the flight could happen in July 2021, November 2021, January 2022, or March 2022.
Any minute now they'll get the prototype in the air without turning itself into powder.
