I can't wait until Elon Musk dies never having slipped the surly bonds of Earth's gravity.

Somehow I only realized just now that he hasn't even gone on an orbital shot in his own company's spacecraft. I can't believe you let Bezos and Branson show you up like that, man!

Listen man, I think it's great that you're trying to plan ahead, but how about we just go to Mars first and then figure all that stuff out? Sounds loving complicated tbh everything might just work out

Look at how long it takes to get to Mars, there's gonna be a whole lot of planning time for that kinda stuff while everyone's on the way

I only watch actual video clips of him speaking onc3 in a long while, and I'm surprised every time by what an uncomfortable, uncharismatic speaker he is. Like, he's just up there spouting obvious made-up bullshit, but there's not even a forceful personality behind it to make it seem real, why would anybody pay attention to that?

(Also a BA in Physics is not a particularly huge accomplishment, it's being a college graduate. A BA is what you get when you duck out on all the advanced classes. The accomplishment is that he got a econ degree from Wharton at the same time.)

Oh lol, I never really thought about that. I didn't even realize a BA in physics was something you could do.

So has anyone at Twitter confirmed anything? Without a press statement from their C suite or legal team, this all reads as 100% bullshit

It does feel weird, but at the same time, in his current position would he be able to just start tweeting false statements and videos about him finally owning twitter without any action against him? I have no idea how any of this stuff works.

I thought this poo poo was hyperbolic but I actually rode about a quarter mile in the back of a Model 3 recently. The door open mechanism is an electronic button and I didn't know where the emergency door release was.

If Elon really wants money from me, he'll start charging to link twitter accounts to stuff, the only actual reason it's useful for me is that it's by far the easiest way to offload video game captures from consoles to use elsewhere.
