So his social media site disappeared and so did he.
Can’t wait for that to happen Musk.

I’m actually fond of him.
The book on Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance is a staple recurrent read to me (though I also read books on Tim Cook, Satya Nadella, Steve Jobs, et al).
He may do things and make decisions in weird ways, but the Starlink project and the SpaceX project are very forward looking and realistic.
Never have I seen rockets landing back in the upright position, to be reused in future flights. And those Tesla cars are not too bad as well. There’s one orbiting the earth as we speak.
True that it does take a special team of individuals from electric car engineers to rocket scientists to realise these farfetched projects, but right now I can’t think of another person who is that out-of-the-box enough to manage and fund a team into the impossible and coming out possible.
He could have gone the Richard Branson route and provide high speed trains and planes and zero-gravity ones with all that money he started with. But instead he went for innovations that are too ahead of their time that needs more convincing.

Give your personal details to Saudi Arabia or twitter becomes unusable.
I bet the free speech lot won’t like this.
