Elon Musk buys Twitter

All things Elon Musk. Discuss.

I'll kick off the discussion with a critique of Musk's idiotic, dangerous and doomed to fail Starlink venture.

And Elon's Mars colonization idea. If you thought that Starlink was stupid, Mars colonization as proposed by Musk is an order of magnitude worse.

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Is he a political figure?

Is he a political figure?

Yup. He's lately claimed that he's no longer Democratic and is instead Republican due to because... well, #Elongate

Ok, but is he standing as a candidate?

Sabine's critique of Hyperloop.

By-the-by, Sabine's channel is awesome! If you're a fan of cutting edge science you'll definitely want to explore her channel.

Don't give him any ideas!

Beats me if he'll run - he's even less disciplined than Trump. And I don't think that he craves to hold political office.

Nonetheless, his relevance to the Political subforum is that he inserts himself into numerous controversial topics pretty much all of which are supported by the Right and deplored by any thinking human being.

A Republican friend of mine - for example - really holds Musk in high regard. And this before Elongate. Musk is a divisive public figure whose statements and behavior end up quintessentially political.

But yes, I take your point - perhaps this thread better belongs in the Off Topic forum.

Here’s an interesting fact I read about the ****.

if you were born in the year 80,000 BC and you saved $10,000 a day and never spent a cent, today you wouldn’t have as much money as he has.

He moans about paying tax. Why not send yourself to Mars you ****?
