I am not sure he is the visionary he likes us to think he is. Born rich and privelaged in apartheid South Africa, made his money by investing his existing money in other peoples ideas. Nothing wrong with that, but he is a money genius not an invention genius.
And his cringeworthy overreactions to things and constant attention seeking are now hugely tiresome.

SpaceX, Tesla, boring company starlink and twatter. I understand the guy irritates some but how can you not give him credit. I think Twitter was a dumb move and whacked Tesla stock but the guy can run a company and he came to the US via Canada (yes he is an African American now) with very little and accomplished much. He cool in my book, I would think the more your recorded talking the more people can pick apart what you say, especially if much of what you put out isn’t scripted.Quote:

Free speech absolutism.
That's just one of the crazy things about Musk buying Twitter. He knows it's secondary to his car and other businesses and that he needs significant support and cooperation from China and Indian regimes to set up factories in those markets and do business there. He knows the price of doing business there is to kowtow to the regimes like other western businesses do, especially media businesses like Hollywood and news businesses. You'd think the last thing he'd do would be to buy Twitter while claiming he was doing it to save free speech because immediately he's in conflict with his main business interests. He really thought he could be Mr. Free Speech Warrior in the west and kowtow to dictators in the east and nobody would notice? He's having some kind of slow blowing mental event it looks like. He'll end up in a hotel penthouse with foot long fingernails.

Musk only needs to attract another fifty million subscribers to make up for the advertising revenue lost since he took over.
Never mind, the product has improved dramatically recently:

May 8 (Reuters) - The man Texas authorities say killed eight people in a barrage of gunfire at a Dallas-area shopping mall over the weekend left behind a social media profile filled with white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideology, multiple news outlets reported on Monday.
News reports linking the assailant to language praising Hitler and to diatribes vilifying racial minorities and women emerged as state police named the five adults murdered on Saturday and confirmed that three children also died - two girls, aged 11 and 8, and a 3-year-old boy.
Among the adults who lost their lives, police said, were Kyo Song Cho, 37, and his wife, Cindy Cho, 35, of Dallas. According to local media, they were the parents of the slain 3-year-old and of a 6-year-old son who was wounded and left as the lone surviving member of his immediate family.
The two girls who died, both from Sachse, Texas, were sisters, local media reported.
The deceased also included two other men, Christian LeCour, 23, of Nevada, Texas, and Elio Cumana-Rivas, 32, of Dallas, and a woman, Aishwarya Thatikonda, 26, of McKinney, Texas, police said.
A further 10 people, ranging in age from 5 to 61, were injured in the mass shooting, at least three of them critically.
Authorities have offered no word about a possible motive for Saturday's carnage at the Allen Premium Outlets mall in Allen, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, where the gunman, identified as Mauricio Garcia, 33, opened fire with an AR-15-style rifle.
Police said the attacker, a Dallas resident, was shot dead by police arriving at the scene.
PRAISE FOR HITLER AND 'RWDS' PATCH
Investigators combing social media accounts linked to the gunman found hate-filled posts targeting racial and ethnic minorities, NBC News reported, citing two law enforcement officials.
At the time of the shooting, Garcia also wore a patch bearing an "RWDS" insignia, a symbol associated with violent right-wing extremists, including the Proud Boys, according to news media organizations. RWDS is an acronym known to stand for "Right Wing Death Squad."
The New York Times, citing its own law enforcement sources, reported Garcia was believed to have posted a number of messages on a Russian social media platform praising Hitler, sympathizing with neo-Nazi beliefs and disparaging women.
The author behind some of the posts under investigation repeatedly suggested he was of Hispanic heritage and as recently as last month included a post saying that "white people and Hispanics have a lot in common."
Reuters could not independently confirm the reports.
The Allen Police Department, Collin County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the reports.
The massacre is among the latest in at least 202 mass shootings recorded in the United States this year, according to the nonprofit group Gun Violence Archive. The group defines a mass shooting as any in which four or more people are wounded or killed, not including the shooter.
In a statement on Sunday, U.S. President Biden renewed calls for the Congress to ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, as well as to enact universal background checks and end immunity for gun manufacturers.
In a surprise move, a committee of the state House of Representatives on Monday approved legislation to raise the minimum legal age for purchasing certain semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21 in Texas.
The measure was sponsored by Democratic lawmaker Tracy King, whose district includes the city of Uvalde, where 19 children and two teachers were killed in a mass shooting nearly a year ago. But it is unlikely to pass the Republican-dominated legislature and is opposed by Governor Greg Abbott.
Then again... maybe the social media posts were "planted" by conspirators that only seek to discredit the noble White Supremacist causes. :rolleyes:
Also the RWDS patch could've been "planted" by police also (after they shot the shooter to death) as part of that same conspiracy.
I wasn't there... and got no DNA samples. So basically I don't even know whether there was any shooting at all. :rolleyes:
The only important thing here is to know whether the 6-year old shot back in self-defense.

You're still crowing about that insignificant technicality about GGG having fought at 163 ONE time?? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Any adult would've read my comment and understood exactly what my point was.
163 doesn't even reach the midpoint between 160 and 168.
If GGG had fought at 168... maybe... MAYBE... you'd have a weak point. But you don't even have that.
All you have is the nitpicking that kids do when an adult is making a point... and the kid jumps on the slightest error to claim some juvenile victory.
But hey... happy to be important enough to you to make your signature.

Yes. Elon Musk is a despicable human being.
But even despicable human beings get it right once in a while. :cool:
https://twitter.com/realDailyWire/st...372941312?s=20
Might as well put this here. None of the browbeaten major streaming companies dare touch it.
Looks like Elon is getting battered in more ways than one.
Ten million users signed up for Meta's newly launched Threads app in its first seven hours, the company's chief Mark Zuckerberg says.
He pitched the app as a "friendly" rival to Twitter, which was bought by Elon Musk in October.
Experts say Threads could attract Twitter users unhappy with recent changes to the platform.
Threads allows users to post up to 500 characters, and has many features similar to Twitter.
Earlier, Mr Zuckerberg said keeping the platform "friendly... will ultimately be the key to its success".
But Mr Musk responded: "It is infinitely preferable to be attacked by strangers on Twitter, than indulge in the false happiness of hide-the-pain Instagram."
When asked on Threads whether the app will be "bigger than Twitter", Mr Zuckerberg said: "It'll take some time, but I think there should be a public conversations app with 1 billion+ people on it.
"Twitter has had the opportunity to do this but hasn't nailed it. Hopefully we will."
Competitors have criticised the amount of data the app might use. This may include health, financial, and browsing data linked to users' identities, according to the Apple App Store.
Threads is now available to download in over 100 countries including the UK, but not yet in the EU because of regulatory concerns.
Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, called the new app an "initial version", with extra features planned including the ability to interact with people on other social media apps like Mastodon.
"Our vision with Threads is to take what Instagram does best and expand that to text," the firm said prior to its launch.
Despite Threads being a standalone app, users log in using an Instagram account. Their Instagram username carries over, but there is an option to customize their profile specifically for Threads.
Users will also be able to choose to follow the same accounts they do on Instagram, Meta says. The app allows users to be private on Instagram, but public on Threads.
The new app's release comes after criticism of Meta's business practices.
Last year, Meta whistleblower Frances Haugen said the company had put "profits over safety" and criticised how the platform was moderated.
The company was also rocked by a scandal in which it allowed third parties, including British political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, to access Facebook users' personal data.
In an apparent reference to this controversial past, Mr Musk joked on Monday "thank goodness they're so sanely run".
There are several alternatives to Twitter available, such as Bluesky and Mastodon, but these have struggled to gain traction.
Threads has a significant advantage because it is connected to Instagram, and the hundreds of millions of users already on that platform.
On Threads, posts can be shared to Instagram and vice versa and can include links, photos, and videos of up to five minutes in length.
However, some early users on Wednesday reported problems when uploading images, hinting at teething problems.
Users see a feed of posts, which Meta calls "threads", from people they follow as well as recommended content.
They are able to control who can "mention" them and filter out replies to posts that contain specific words.
Unfollowing, blocking, restricting or reporting other profiles is also possible, and any accounts users block on Instagram are automatically blocked on Threads.
While Meta stresses ties to Instagram, media coverage has focused on its similarity to Twitter, with some investors describing the app as a "Twitter killer".
On Saturday, Twitter boss Elon Musk restricted the number of tweets users could see on his platform per day, citing extreme "data scraping".
It was Mr Musk's latest push to get users to sign up to Twitter Blue, the platform's subscription service.
Twitter has also announced that its popular user dashboard TweetDeck will go behind a paywall in 30 days' time.
Since Mr Musk took over, many users of Twitter have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the platform and his stewardship - citing erratic behaviour and political views.
Last month, Mr Musk and Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg agreed - possibly in jest - to a cage fight, and Mr Zuckerberg's early posts on Threads mentioned his interest in mixed martial arts.
While Threads will be available in the UK, it is not yet available in the EU because of regulatory uncertainty, particularly around the EU's Digital Markets Act.
But the company says it is looking into launching in the EU.
That act lays down rules on how large companies such as Meta can share data between platforms that they own. The sharing of data between Threads and Instagram is part of the issue.
Meta maintains protecting privacy is fundamental to its business.

Threads ??? Not a great name for a competitor in the short attention span theater that is social media. Sounds like the name of a quilt and sweater knitting forum populated largely by Grandmothers.
These two fighting in some mma contest ;D is going to be the biggest 'work' yet.
it's definitely an unexpected matchup! While they're both incredibly smart and successful in their own domains, MMA is a whole different ball game. It'd be quite the spectacle to witness, no doubt!Quote:

The free speech absolutist has nothing to say.
He does have a lot to say to white supremacists and nazis though. Not only does he converse with them all the time, reinstate them on twitter and pay them money to post there he's also now going after their enemies and coming out as a raging antisemite. The free speech absolutist is going to sue the Jews for saying things he doesn't like:
I love the implication that the erratic management, mass layoffs, incoherent moderation, destruction of verification, decimated engineering staff, serial unbanning of racists, and crumbling infrastructure had nothing to do with twitter losing half its value. Nope, just Jews.

So he spent forty billion on a twenty at best billion business and in a year proceeded to make it worthless while also pissing off prospective and existing Tesla customers who are almost all liberals while destroying his claims to be a centre left guy and pissing his free speech absolutism guise up the wall by working with and submitting to the world's worst regimes. He's managed to fuck himself from every possible direction and lose his reputation and billions of dollars. The man is clearly having a mental event and it'll become undeniable at some point.
I don't care what anyone says, this is the most punchable face in the world at the moment

I watched his interview with Tucker Carlson.
He said
“Well, in the past we could rely upon simple limbic system rewards in order to procreate. But once you have birth control and abortions and what not, now you can still satisfy the limbic instinct but not procreate,”
That's just word salad of saying "WHITE WOMEN !! START HAVING MORE WHITE KIDS !!"
https://media4.giphy.com/media/11tTNkNy1SdXGg/giphy.gif
Then Musk says
“So, we haven’t yet evolved to deal with that because it’s all fairly recent in the last 50 years or so. I’m sort of worried that...if we don’t make enough people to at least sustain our numbers, perhaps increase a bit, then civilization is going to crumble.”
"Our numbers" ? Once again he's talking about white ppl. White numbers are in decline.
https://www.lipstickalley.com/attach...3-png.4681601/
High cancer rates, lowest sperm count in the world, low birth rates, high suicide rates and of course racial mixing.
Then Musk says
“It’s the old question of, like, will civilization go out with a bang or a whimper? Well, it’s currently trending to end with a whimper in adult diapers”—[at this point, Carlson interjects to nod and say “yes”]—“which is depressing as hell.”
This is basically calling for a race war.
That's all he's saying here.
Musk ain't talking about Uganda when he's talk about civilization going out with a "whimper" He's talking about majority white countries falling and that white ppl will be genocided.
And if he can get enough white ppl to really think that ? Violence becomes almost inevitable. You can't fight for legal changes or policy reforms. You have to stop "them"

And to be honest ? Dylan Roof and PPeyton Gendron were seen as punks by even white supremacists, not that that cared for him shooting and killing blk ppl, more that they shot and killed mainly old black people.
These white supremacists who believe that replacement theory REALLY WANTED it to be YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE. The blk men and women who young and virile and go onto to have children.
That's who they really want.
That's why if you notice the white supremacists LOVE a Trayvon Martin. A Renesha McBride. A Tamir Rice, A Mike Brown, A Freddie Grey story. They pour thousands into the officers gofundme. They go out of there way to defend them.
But all those white killers were on that "white ppl are gonna be wiped out" "white ppl are gonna be replaced" ideology
Once a white person accepts or thinks they are trying to be replaced or wiped out. All bets are off. At that point, discussing or debating issues is irrelevant.
It’s kill or be killed.
IBM has suspended advertising on X, formerly known as Twitter, after a report said its ads were placed next to posts praising Adolf Hitler and Nazism.
The company said it was "completely unacceptable" that its content appeared in such threads on the platform.

Not the first and certainly will not be the last. Day and age of power brokers showing their true colors however vile and talking sideways trying to weasel thru when called out and bottom line takes a hit.Quote:

At an event in New York, he accused companies that have joined an ad boycott of the site formerly known as Twitter of trying to blackmail him.
"Go [expletive] yourself," the billionaire said in an interview.
Some firms have paused advertising on X amid concerns over antisemitism, including a post from Mr Musk himself.
The Tesla and SpaceX boss apologised on Wednesday for that post, saying it might be the "dumbest" thing he has ever shared online.
But it was his response to a question about an advertising boycott by companies including Disney, Apple and Comcast that caused a stir at the gathering of leaders from the worlds of business, politics and culture.
"I don't want them to advertise," Mr Musk said at the New York Times' DealBook Summit.
"If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money go [expletive] yourself.
"Go. [Expletive]. Yourself. Is that clear? Hey Bob, if you're in the audience, that's how I feel."
He was apparently referring to Disney chief executive Bob Iger, who spoke at the summit earlier in the day.
In the room with Mr Musk was Linda Yaccarino, X's chief executive, who has been charged with trying to bring back advertisers to the platform.
Mr Musk also said that advertisers could kill X.
"What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company," he said.
"The whole world will know those advertisers killed the company, and we will document it in great detail," he added.
Ms Yaccarino has since reposted what she called his "candid interview", adding her perspective on advertising that "X is standing at a unique and amazing intersection of Free Speech and Main Street — and the X community is powerful and is here to welcome you".
Mr Musk has been on a visit to Israel after he last month appeared to personally back an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
"I'm sorry for that tweet... it might be literally the worst and dumbest post that I've ever done," he said on Wednesday.
The boycott isn't just to do with that post, though.
Many advertisers had already decided to spend their dollars elsewhere.
In an interview with the BBC in April, Mr Musk said "almost all of them [advertisers] have either come back or they're going to come back".
Three months later he acknowledged in a post on X that ad revenue had fallen by 50%.
That was before a report by liberal pressure group Media Matters, which claimed to have found evidence that some adverts had been placed next to Nazi content.
X says the group's report had "misrepresented the real user experience of X" in order to "undermine freedom of speech and mislead advertisers". X has filed a lawsuit against Media Matters.
It's hard to see how Mr Musk's comments will bring advertisers running back. The company is heavily reliant on their money.
It is unclear how much of X's revenue currently comes from ads, because it's now a private company and no longer publishes quarterly reports.
But before Mr Musk took over the firm, advertising made up about 90% of Twitter revenue.

Tesla chief executive Elon Musk's record-breaking $56bn (£47bn) pay award will not be reinstated, a judge has ruled.
The decision in the Delaware court comes after months of legal wrangling and despite it being approved by shareholders and directors in the summer.
Judge Kathaleen McCormick upheld her previous decision from January, in which she argued that board members were too heavily influenced by Mr Musk.
Reacting to the ruling, Mr Musk wrote on X, external: "Shareholders should control company votes, not judges."
Tesla vowed to appeal against the ruling, saying the decision was "wrong".
"This ruling, if not overturned, means that judges and plaintiffs’ lawyers run Delaware companies rather than their rightful owners – the shareholders," the electric car company said in a post on X.
Judge McCormick said the pay package would have been the largest ever for the boss of a listed company.
Tesla failed to prove the pay package, which dates back to 2018, was fair, she said.
Mr Musk, the boss of X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX as well as Tesla, is the world's richest person. His current net worth is estimated at around $350bn, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, external.
He has used his platform to make his views known on a vast array of topics, and his status seems set to climb higher still following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US presidential election. The president-elect has picked Mr Musk to lead a newly created Department of Government Efficiency (or Doge - like the dog-related meme).
Trump has said Doge will help the administration "dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure Federal Agencies".
A Tesla shareholder vote on the payment passed by 75% in June, but the judge did not agree the pay should be so large despite what she called Tesla's lawyers' "creative" arguments.
“Even if a stockholder vote could have a ratifying effect, it could not do so here," she wrote in her opinion.
The judge also ruled the Tesla shareholder who brought the case against the company and Mr Musk should receive $345m in fees but not the $5.6bn in Tesla shares they had asked for.
Some observers said a ruling in favour of Mr Musk and Tesla would have dealt a blow to conflict of interest laws in Delaware.
The idea of conflict rules is to protect all investors, not just minority investors, said Charles Elson of the University of Delaware's Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance.
Mr Elson said Judge McCormick's opinion was well-reasoned.
"You had a board that wasn't independent, a process that was dominated by the chief executive, and a package that was way out of any sort of reasonable bounds," he said. "It's quite a combo."
Mr Elson said he expects Tesla might try to reconstitute a similar pay package in Texas where the company moved its legal base earlier this year after the pay ruling.
