Pff, what is this heresy? Everyone knows that Relic weapons are covered extensively in gold, eagles, thunderbolts, and by the time you get your hands on them, hundreds of finely engraved verses of the Emperor's Scriptures.
No in the case of possible gun grab. "Drowning it in lake" and in fact burying it well conserved and secured with ammo with your dead dog or somewhere else might be nice idea. Polymer packing film + tape + desiccant are wonderful products for example (but I don't know it would be enough to prevent corrosion so beware)
And in case of POTATUS Joe Bidet - it is unimportant basement or not,no light and good coffin.
What’s the big deal, TSLA loses 4% after being up 4000% year to date and suddenly the company is in crisis? Dumb liberals are like “seee....it’s because he moved to a Texas.”
He walked out because Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate bullshit.
I like Elon, but it was a kneejerk decision and he clearly believes the left's climate change bullshit.
It's probably the one good thing coming from their propaganda. We have SpaceX and Tesla because of Elon believing their bullshit and wanting to save the world.
Elon's a genius and I believe to be genuine, but he's still a man.
Stop idolizing people and just respect them, know they can be wrong.
Yeah. Well said. I generally like him too, seems like in interviews he doesn't laud his intelligence over you, but if you ask the right question he opens up. Would be an interesting guy to share a beer with.
Right. But Tesla is motivated by "climate change" and to some degree SpaceX is as well.
I'm not saying we don't need to be a multi-planetary species to survive over the long run, but I'm saying he does believe in the green movement, there's plenty examples of it. Both are true.
It doesn't really matter because unlike the left he's not using it for political power, he's furthering technology and the human race.
There is a lot to the teal “green movement” that should be supported.
America is definitely in a minute. Better position then it was in the 80s. The smog and water was out of hand.
Modern global warming is a hoax and a joke. Doesn’t mean figuring out truly clean energy like solar and fusion isn’t a great endeavor. We should just be honest and encourage free markets to head down better paths.
Not play communism using climate scares. I think Elon is more focused on the prior path.
He openly supports a carbon tax. Listen to his episode on Rogan a few weeks ago.
I'm a fan of Musk. The guy above was spot on with the line about not idolizing people, but respecting them.
I'm not in favor of a carbon tax because 98% of what the elites feeds us is lies. The fact that Musk does believe in the dangers of CO2 pollution does give me pause, however. I don't believe Musk makes up his reasoning, so I'm not quite sure what to believe. But lean towards climate alarmism is misguided.
I don't disagree. But this thread started about why Elon pulled out of Trumps committee. And he did so because Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, which is a bullshit agreement that doesn't make China cut emissions and just another way for globalists to steal American tax payer money.
So Elon was wrong to support the Paris Climate Accord, but not wrong to develop Tesla, solar, battery, and similar tech.
Every billion years or so the suns luminosity increases about 6% so since the birth of our solar system 4.5 billion years ago the sun has increased in luminosity by over 25%. This process will render the earth uninhabitable in about 1 billion years - the increasing luminosity will create a runaway greenhouse effect and boil the earths oceans off - water vapour is a greenhouse gas. Earth will look like Venus. There has been some evidence that Venus had oceans early on in its development. It may well have been earth like 3 billion years ago.
So yeah - not a bad idea to investigate leaving for somewhere else.
You know in 5 billion years when the sun swells up into a red giant the habitable zone of our solar system will be out in the orbits of Saturn and Jupiter. Mars it at the edge of the habitable zone currently but it will become more habitable over the next few years.
He also sells expensive electric cars to people who think that they need to spend that extra money to save the planet. He probably got a lot of backlash from his fan base and chose the Paris Climate Accord as the deal breaker.
He didn't join the election fortifying cabal after that. He maintained a good relationship with the Trump administration. Trump revitalized the space program and SpaceX was a big part of that.
BTC is on it's way there @ 51K. Yellen and Gates just trashed BTC because they want people to trust in the new central bank digital currency. Same think happened back when BTC initially hit 9K 3-4 years ago.
Investing in decentralized cryptos like BTC as well as investing physical silver/gold goes against the Central Bank's plan.
lol, no, absolutely not. The media posted "richest man in the world" is not the actual richest man in the world. Who knows what Soros wealth actually is, or the Rothschilds too. Elon is really at #68 at most, and that is being optimistic.
When Starlink really kicks off he'll be one of the biggest players in Silicon Valley also. He might just be able to topple Google from their throne. Fingers crossed!!
Edit: Wow pedes. 2 stickies in 1 day? I am humbled and I do not deserve this honor. Thank you so much. patriots.win is so fantastic. It's so good to hang out here every day.
I'd trust him more if he got the same treatment from banks as Gab's founder.
Right now Andrew and Trump are being blocked by banks, and, seems like that's it.
So? They cut rich people off all the time. It would just be a question of him actually not towing the line, and starting to make waves.
As long as he's just spouting inconsequential stuff that make the plebs chase after the yarn ball, and distract them, without impact, then he's just part of the bread and circus, and they won't cut him off.
The Left's leaders hate him because he actually attempts to solve "Climate Change" and is actively actually doing shit in that direction. Arguably, everything Elon does has a Climate Change aspect.
He's doing all this by methods that the traditional American Right/Freedom Wing have no serious issue with. Actually making electric cars isn't half as irritating as endless lobbying and subsidies for studying the problem , which is where we were pre-Elon ... the Left was basically milking the issue.
The establishment Right is perfectly happy with the endless outrageous "Cost Plus Contracting" that fund Boeing/Lockheed and the rest of Mil-Ind.
A fair number of people have issues with his discussions on The Singularity and AI/Human interfacing, etc as well. The 'Transhumanist Left' and 'legitimate advances' are distinguished by "Do you trust them?" And ... hard to.
ok yeah, was waiting for someone to mention neural link... thats the one thing i'm legit sceptical of but as long as it's used to help disabled people... and not forced onto people to jack them into their new virtual existence of eating bugs in their pod while playing VR flappy bird.
I can think of legitimate cool shit to do with it, but then I look at Jeff Bezos and realize how much trust would need to be built up first.
Even "Eating bugs in their pod playing VR flappy" isn't the lowest it could go. If there's any way to use VR as an interface for, say, asteroid mining, it becomes the new slavery under a wide array of the usual suspects.
i honestly didn't think they'd mess with the bull this hard knowing how sharp that horn has gotten over the last 4 years.
i guess they figured they've already lost half the country forever, now they might as well piss off the rest with insane cultist nonsense and broken promises.
we should start ops to turn antifa and burnlootmurder on the xiden admin.
the media has proven how easy they are to lead around by the nose... we should give it a try.
stop and think for just one moment. you'd be willing to let someone implant a friggin neurological network into your head? after seeing exactly how any system in the world currently is not safe from hacking or outright theft?
you're lost if so.
stop looking at what you could gain, and start looking at what you could lose.
how can you call yourself magacoder and not be aware of things like cell phones, operating systems, and home digital assistants all having purposefully built back doors for the government to invade your privacy and somehow think this will be any different? its even worse because now you can physically hacked too.
I didn't say those things don't happen, but you can't prevent technology from happening. All you can do is try to protect your rights.
You use a cell phone and an OS don't you?
Yes because you're on the internet.
So you're being a hypocrite using technology that can be used against you but advocating against technology intended for disabled people. Yes it could be used against you, but so can everything, it doesn't make the tech inherently bad.
you're not seeing this problem from the correct perspective.
the person supposedly getting their site or legs back may lose literally everything else, everything that gives them any free will.
you are talking about implanting something into someone's brain, you have to realize at that point they become slave to whatever actually controls this device, and newsflash, it won't be themselves.
if you aren't aware of backdoors and entrances into software I don't know what to tell you, but you can bet your ass that you will be giving up your freedom by doing this, and not just some metaphysical idea of it, literally physical control of yourself.
Its an idea as old as time too, you'd think people would learn but they don't.
its a trojan horse.
look i hate to break it to you but there are already plenty of devices out there that allow a neural link between someone's brain to a device that helps them. some people use it to control an arm or leg or fingers of artificial limbs. some are using them to speak, or see, or hear.
this is just a spooky next level to that.
i'm sure as fuck not going to be signing up for anything even close to that... but if someone can get musks little computer implanted into their brain and it gives them functionality they wouldn't have without it... i'm not gonna stand in their way.
have you ever watched the people getting cochlear implants and hearing for the first time? or even the people trying on those glasses that fix color blindness... and they see colors for the first time?
i don't have the heart to tell people that they can't have that life changing experience because you're afraid of them getting some sort of malware or backdoor hacked.
i completely agree with you on everything you're saying, it's spooky shit... and the possibilities are terrifying.
but if i had useless legs and someone came to me and told me they could fix that... and i can walk again... i'd be first in line to get the damn chip shoved in my head.
That's not how neural link works. It uses AI to detect spikes in brainwaves to transform thoughts of motions into movements for your mouse or touchscreen. It's not bidirectional, you can't implant thoughts or read your internal dialogue. You only get a rough reading of basic movements.
You are on a computer right now that can have backdoors, why don't you go with with the Amish if you're so scared of tech.
Yes tech can be abused but going back to caveman times and not progressing is not the answer.
I would be more worried about those MIT robot dogs and swarm drones if I were you.
yeah, that. you need to understand you could completely lose it by doing this.
hell, all you have to do is barely skim the news stories about snowden, NSA, and cell phones, and somehow this even more extreme example is somehow a good thing?
Racist scumbags. He should be the face of African American History Month. Heard they literally changed it to Black History Month just to give him the axe.
No. George Soros didn’t lead any efforts to improve the human condition with ambitious technological advances. Soros was a good bluffer and market manipulator. He probably resorted to all sorts of tricks and crimes over the years to enhance his positions. The heirs to the Walton fortune, heirs. Plenty of ultra wealthy people are heirs. Plenty in finance and real estate.
lolwut? they are completely screwing with him, especially since he said he would run his factories despite covid restrictions and they threatened to go after him... so he just moved to texas.
I don't know. He's always rubbed me the wrong way. I support his companies - Tesla and SpaceX are amazing, but for some reason I just think he's pretending to be conservative. I don't know. I don't hate or dislike him, or his companies, I just get a weird vibe from him.
True. After the last year, and being stabbed in the back and betrayed by people I thought were solid, I'm cautious about all of them. But I always thought Elon was a bit sketchy. I wrote it off to being on a spectrum, which could be true, but I'm not running down the valley with his flag, lol.
He is not a politician. He is a leader. He is a visionary. He has to live partly in a world dominated by politicians.
I suspect everyone here knows the feeling of being under the authority of someone not as smart or plain foolish. I humbly submit that most of the time growing up Elon was smarter than the people in charge. This can have an interesting influence on your development. Elon is capable of being diplomatic and even political, but his insistence on first principles and moving towards the goal means little patience for nonsense. Hence he got out of California because it became clear the politicians here would just keep screwing with his company.
Probably the UBI or neurochip stuff, but it's not really out of character for a futurist sci-fi guy. I like him, I think the default is just distrust.. and at this point no amount of "based" talk should make someone trustworthy.
If he keeps improving battery tech and private spaceflight, that's good enough for me
To be fair, if we ditched welfare, SNAP, and the other social programs which allow the government to pick winners and losers and replaced it with UBI I'd be OK with it as well, which is the same opinion that Friedman had.
But only IF those things went away and they wont so...
"The Current Co2 levels are around 35--400 Parts Per Million, Would you want to bring those levels down to below 100 ppm? "
If they say yes, I tell them they fucking hate plants because many plant start dying below 150-200 ppm.
I then go on to tell them the earth has had up to 5,000ppm and during those times we had higher oxygen levels as a consequence and could support larger animals.
They usually shut the fuck up or futility try to prove me wrong on their phones.
I then leave them with the fact that Earth is carbon starved and has been Co2 levels have been decreasing since the end of the Eocene Epoch.
If you think the "climate changers" ultimate goals have anything to do with the climate, I'm a bit disappointed. What is the Paris Accord?
It's always about money. Taking it from someone, giving it to someone, it changes from time to time but don't make the mistake of thinking the climate changers actually know or care about the environment.
So many here idolize every aspect of Trump, but when it comes to someone really restoring American excellence it’s the utmost skepticism. “Ya know, Trump University was a hunch scam...DEPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Meanwhile, wow, Americans launched back to space from America! Electric cars that outperform gas ones and they are made here, not just designed here!!! SHUT UP! HE DIDN’T KISS TRUMP’s RING!
Listen, I don’t want to get into a character contest. I really have not heard any serious attacks on Musk’s character. If he were a liar, a fraud, a sex deviant, a thief etc. - we would hear about it, lots. He’s a bit quirky, he is a workaholic, he comes off as arrogant at times— but those are all understandable, certainly not horrible evils. I like seeing a smart man not tolerate bullshit. He knows time is breathing down his neck. He has important work he wants to accomplish.
He is a true inspiration and a heroic figure. Most billionaires are not in the least. I know firsthand from time with them in NYC and La Jolla.
Yeah he's not like all the bickering politicians, he's a doer, and a visionary. I don't necessarily like all aspects of his vision for humanity, but I respect it.
Those lists never count people who gained their wealth through their title or something like that. E.g. the British and Saudi royal families, the Pope, the Rothschilds, etc. Also, they have no way of really knowing how rich people like Putin or Xi really are. Musk is likely the wealthiest private citizen.
Washington Post wrote a piece titled, "Elon Musk moved to Texas and embraced celebrity. Can Tesla run on Autopilot?" and when they asked Musk for comments, that's how he responded.
Blue Origin - yea, Riven, not that I know of, they may have a stake, but they are not majority SH.
Blue Origin is noting more than a massive money pit, was launched before SpaceX, and had spent a tonne more cash, but had vet to launch to orbit, and only has one product that's supposed to be 'ready' - the BE-4 Rocket engine that ULA will be using - that has also yet to take flight even n basic testing.
They were sucking elon's dick this morning on the local news for putting together an all civilian space launch. Tomorrow they'll be bitching about something else he said. Fucking fags
This is scarily too borderline shitpost and things I think will happen in real life.
Just signed up for Starlink Internet yesterday. I will admit I didn't like Elon many years ago when he was first coming up.....but the guy pulls at my inner childhood heart strings in way too many ways. He may well be the "South American Trump" in another 20 years.
He may not be a saint.....but he gets what matters in this country....and he is damn fine example of what being an American is all about.
Technology isn't political. Solar panels and eventually nuclear power will help keep us free from being reliant on the mid-east for the oil needed to power our basic infrastructure.
Let's say aka The Global Times. Pravda is accurate too but I'd prefer to deprive the Russiagate propaganda of oxygen and maintain laser focus on who our present day enemies are.
WaPo is so Cringe. Elon's genius is making people think he is a nerd. He's on like his third wife and has 5-7 children. Probably has more in common with Trump than Bezos.
Lol "democracy dies in darkness"
Basements are great places to store Potatus.
guns too
Never, they will rust
I've got a giant dehumidifier that begs to differ, fren.
What's it run on? You live in Texas? asking for a fren... ;-)
Makes the AK’s look relic, adds a nice touch
Pff, what is this heresy? Everyone knows that Relic weapons are covered extensively in gold, eagles, thunderbolts, and by the time you get your hands on them, hundreds of finely engraved verses of the Emperor's Scriptures.
I’m about 90% sure that was a WH40K reference.
Naturally.
The AK was designed for that.
Only if you live in the basement.
No in the case of possible gun grab. "Drowning it in lake" and in fact burying it well conserved and secured with ammo with your dead dog or somewhere else might be nice idea. Polymer packing film + tape + desiccant are wonderful products for example (but I don't know it would be enough to prevent corrosion so beware)
And in case of POTATUS Joe Bidet - it is unimportant basement or not,no light and good coffin.
The dark winter is upon us
My sides hurt from this lol
They love mob rule and will defend it to the death. You’ll never see them care about words like ‘constitutional’ or ‘republic’ in that way.
They don't, and now they don't even bother to pretend that they do. They want the rule of man to replace the rule of law.
That was their playbook after all
What’s the big deal, TSLA loses 4% after being up 4000% year to date and suddenly the company is in crisis? Dumb liberals are like “seee....it’s because he moved to a Texas.”
4%? Spacex took a harder hit when he had a toke off Joe Rogans blunt on JRE
I pulled those numbers out of my ass but they are not far off.
what a joke. most retarded name in news
That’s their mission statement.
C’mon Elon, just become the right wing Soros already.
That would be something to see. Can you imagine
Imagine all the Tesla soyboys frantically selling off their cars
He walked out because Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate bullshit.
I like Elon, but it was a kneejerk decision and he clearly believes the left's climate change bullshit.
It's probably the one good thing coming from their propaganda. We have SpaceX and Tesla because of Elon believing their bullshit and wanting to save the world.

Yeah. Well said. I generally like him too, seems like in interviews he doesn't laud his intelligence over you, but if you ask the right question he opens up. Would be an interesting guy to share a beer with.
This earth will end. It's matter of time. It has happened in the past. Back then the causes of extinction were less.
Now r much more.
Asteroid strike, deadly virus, nukes ...mutiple things can wipe out the population. He knows it. So, he is getting a backup plan ready, in Mars
Right. But Tesla is motivated by "climate change" and to some degree SpaceX is as well. I'm not saying we don't need to be a multi-planetary species to survive over the long run, but I'm saying he does believe in the green movement, there's plenty examples of it. Both are true. It doesn't really matter because unlike the left he's not using it for political power, he's furthering technology and the human race.

Understand?
You get it. The pursuit of clean energy (or clean anything) should never be a political thing.
Every billion years or so the suns luminosity increases about 6% so since the birth of our solar system 4.5 billion years ago the sun has increased in luminosity by over 25%. This process will render the earth uninhabitable in about 1 billion years - the increasing luminosity will create a runaway greenhouse effect and boil the earths oceans off - water vapour is a greenhouse gas. Earth will look like Venus. There has been some evidence that Venus had oceans early on in its development. It may well have been earth like 3 billion years ago.
So yeah - not a bad idea to investigate leaving for somewhere else.
And that increased luminosity might make further planets habitable becuase they will get more heat and sunlight
You know in 5 billion years when the sun swells up into a red giant the habitable zone of our solar system will be out in the orbits of Saturn and Jupiter. Mars it at the edge of the habitable zone currently but it will become more habitable over the next few years.
This guy knows what’s up.
At the time, I would bet Elon had very little viability of the Paris deal other than the hype.
Elon's not stupid, however, he also has businesses to run, being tied to Trump was never going to b helpful to them.
You're speculating and rationalizing.
He also sells expensive electric cars to people who think that they need to spend that extra money to save the planet. He probably got a lot of backlash from his fan base and chose the Paris Climate Accord as the deal breaker.
He didn't join the election fortifying cabal after that. He maintained a good relationship with the Trump administration. Trump revitalized the space program and SpaceX was a big part of that.

And an African American as well. Let the salt flow.
lol, no, absolutely not. The media posted "richest man in the world" is not the actual richest man in the world. Who knows what Soros wealth actually is, or the Rothschilds too. Elon is really at #68 at most, and that is being optimistic.
You couldn’t give him 69???
That worked even better then I first thought...
he may be. All the Rothschilds are 1-67, I suppose Soros is in there too, so Elon would be #69 at most optimistically.
When Starlink really kicks off he'll be one of the biggest players in Silicon Valley also. He might just be able to topple Google from their throne. Fingers crossed!!
If he makes a secure starlink data phone, he’ll be on top forever.
Well there's a thing... much like you can't talk about Soros in politics... maybe it's already that way with Elon?
Elon is technically African American.
Elon is objectively African American. Must give Al Sharpton recurring nightmares.
I would love a new career in right wing activism. I will start tomorrow if he bankrolls me.
Yeeeeeeeesss
Well, technically, Musk DID respond to your request for a comment, dumbass.
That's what I was thinking too... How low IQ are these wankstains.

Dangerously based
Looks like he’s noticed some things
Yes, he noticed that leftists, who live in a bubble, control the media.
sure..... let's go with that
Did you not read his entire conversation with the NBC reporter or something?
Anyone reading that Twitter convo with that NBC reporter can clearly tell Elon meant leftists.
I don't trust Elon, but he's got style.
I'd trust him more if he got the same treatment from banks as Gab's founder.
Right now Andrew and Trump are being blocked by banks, and, seems like that's it.
No bank, no matter how clucked will cut Elon off.
He's the fucking richest man in the world.
So? They cut rich people off all the time. It would just be a question of him actually not towing the line, and starting to make waves.
As long as he's just spouting inconsequential stuff that make the plebs chase after the yarn ball, and distract them, without impact, then he's just part of the bread and circus, and they won't cut him off.
Not going to happen, he's simply too rich and capable...
Remember, he has the money to setup in competition to them, he's done it before, Paypal, and he still ownes X.com...
For him to do this would be (relatively) trivial.
why not?
whats he doing that makes him untrustworthy?
honestly curious.
He walks the Left's talk.
The Left's leaders hate him because he actually attempts to solve "Climate Change" and is actively actually doing shit in that direction. Arguably, everything Elon does has a Climate Change aspect.
He's doing all this by methods that the traditional American Right/Freedom Wing have no serious issue with.

ok yeah, was waiting for someone to mention neural link... thats the one thing i'm legit sceptical of but as long as it's used to help disabled people... and not forced onto people to jack them into their new virtual existence of eating bugs in their pod while playing VR flappy bird.
I can think of legitimate cool shit to do with it, but then I look at Jeff Bezos and realize how much trust would need to be built up first.
Even "Eating bugs in their pod playing VR flappy" isn't the lowest it could go. If there's any way to use VR as an interface for, say, asteroid mining, it becomes the new slavery under a wide array of the usual suspects.
or believe me, we could smoke a fat joint and orwell up some scary shit these people could/would do with that power.
They've pretty systematically marched through Orwell's books reading them as "HOWTOs" instead of as cautionary tales.
truufs
it's 100% a "hold my beer" meme so far.
i honestly didn't think they'd mess with the bull this hard knowing how sharp that horn has gotten over the last 4 years.
i guess they figured they've already lost half the country forever, now they might as well piss off the rest with insane cultist nonsense and broken promises.
we should start ops to turn antifa and burnlootmurder on the xiden admin.

stop and think for just one moment. you'd be willing to let someone implant a friggin neurological network into your head? after seeing exactly how any system in the world currently is not safe from hacking or outright theft?
you're lost if so.
stop looking at what you could gain, and start looking at what you could lose.
namely, your mind.
who said anything about being forced one? he's making it for disabled people who want a better life.
if the government or company is able to FORCE a neural link into your brain you lost your rights a long time ago.
not that we're not far off, when the government forces you to have a vaccine, you're close.
the technology will happen, what you do with it is the important distinction.
how can you call yourself magacoder and not be aware of things like cell phones, operating systems, and home digital assistants all having purposefully built back doors for the government to invade your privacy and somehow think this will be any different? its even worse because now you can physically hacked too.
I didn't say those things don't happen, but you can't prevent technology from happening. All you can do is try to protect your rights.

So you're being a hypocrite using technology that can be used against you but advocating against technology intended for disabled people. Yes it could be used against you, but so can everything, it doesn't make the tech inherently bad.
so if this gave someone their sight back, or their legs... you'd try to stop them from getting it because of the shit that is going on right now?
i mean i get it... i do... but if someone wants to get this done for a legit reason i'm not gonna stand in their way
at the same time... if someone is getting a PC jacked into their brain so they can surf twitter faster they should just use a bullet instead.
you're not seeing this problem from the correct perspective. the person supposedly getting their site or legs back may lose literally everything else, everything that gives them any free will.

i'm sure as fuck not going to be signing up for anything even close to that... but if someone can get musks little computer implanted into their brain and it gives them functionality they wouldn't have without it... i'm not gonna stand in their way.
have you ever watched the people getting cochlear implants and hearing for the first time? or even the people trying on those glasses that fix color blindness... and they see colors for the first time?
i don't have the heart to tell people that they can't have that life changing experience because you're afraid of them getting some sort of malware or backdoor hacked.
i completely agree with you on everything you're saying, it's spooky shit... and the possibilities are terrifying.
but if i had useless legs and someone came to me and told me they could fix that... and i can walk again... i'd be first in line to get the damn chip shoved in my head.
That's not how neural link works. It uses AI to detect spikes in brainwaves to transform thoughts of motions into movements for your mouse or touchscreen. It's not bidirectional, you can't implant thoughts or read your internal dialogue. You only get a rough reading of basic movements. You are on a computer right now that can have backdoors, why don't you go with with the Amish if you're so scared of tech. Yes tech can be abused but going back to caveman times and not progressing is not the answer. I would be more worried about those MIT robot dogs and swarm drones if I were you.
It's called freedom.
yeah, that. you need to understand you could completely lose it by doing this. hell, all you have to do is barely skim the news stories about snowden, NSA, and cell phones, and somehow this even more extreme example is somehow a good thing?
Cyberpunk 2077 has entered the chat
The system isn't attacking him. That means he's acceptable to them.
Well, he is probably the richest African-American in the country, so maybe the media thinks it would be racist to attack him.
Most people dont even know he is African.
Racist scumbags. He should be the face of African American History Month. Heard they literally changed it to Black History Month just to give him the axe.
I thought he was Canadian.
Nah, he's from South Africa
Under Canadian law, a person is a citizen, even if they were born outside Canada, as long as one of their parents is Canadian.
His mother is Maye Musk (née Haldeman), a model and dietitian born in Saskatchewan, Canada, but raised in South Africa.
Looks like I'm technically right. But I'm not arguing it, honestly my memory on the subject was just lacking.
Maybe. But If you're one of the richest people in the world, you're clearly in the club.
No. George Soros didn’t lead any efforts to improve the human condition with ambitious technological advances. Soros was a good bluffer and market manipulator. He probably resorted to all sorts of tricks and crimes over the years to enhance his positions. The heirs to the Walton fortune, heirs. Plenty of ultra wealthy people are heirs. Plenty in finance and real estate.
Trump being the richest president wasn't enough to be clearly in the club?
Trump was rich, but not highest levels rich. And he WAS in the club before his betrayal.
The same could be said of Trump, and I think it's pretty clear how in the club he is.
lolwut? they are completely screwing with him, especially since he said he would run his factories despite covid restrictions and they threatened to go after him... so he just moved to texas.
Of course he’s part of the system. He’s one of the richest two people in the world. He can pull whatever strings he wants to if need be
I don't know. He's always rubbed me the wrong way. I support his companies - Tesla and SpaceX are amazing, but for some reason I just think he's pretending to be conservative. I don't know. I don't hate or dislike him, or his companies, I just get a weird vibe from him.
He’s eccentric. He also uses Machiavellian Rules of Power manipulation techniques like Trump. It’s good to be cautious.
True. After the last year, and being stabbed in the back and betrayed by people I thought were solid, I'm cautious about all of them. But I always thought Elon was a bit sketchy. I wrote it off to being on a spectrum, which could be true, but I'm not running down the valley with his flag, lol.
He's trying to stay afloat in a crooked world. I can understand why he doesn't want to attract too many corrosive media flies.
He is not a politician. He is a leader. He is a visionary. He has to live partly in a world dominated by politicians.
I suspect everyone here knows the feeling of being under the authority of someone not as smart or plain foolish. I humbly submit that most of the time growing up Elon was smarter than the people in charge. This can have an interesting influence on your development. Elon is capable of being diplomatic and even political, but his insistence on first principles and moving towards the goal means little patience for nonsense. Hence he got out of California because it became clear the politicians here would just keep screwing with his company.
fair enough... can't discount that weird vibe you get.
i just think he's a odd dude that means well and thinks about things with logic and reason...
and we all know we can't do that anymore it's verboten.
Probably the UBI or neurochip stuff, but it's not really out of character for a futurist sci-fi guy. I like him, I think the default is just distrust.. and at this point no amount of "based" talk should make someone trustworthy.
If he keeps improving battery tech and private spaceflight, that's good enough for me
battery tech is the bottle neck... big advances in batteries will change EVERYTHING
if he can solve that i don't don't care how many "how to problemitize everything via grievance study struggle sessions" he attends in private.
To be fair, if we ditched welfare, SNAP, and the other social programs which allow the government to pick winners and losers and replaced it with UBI I'd be OK with it as well, which is the same opinion that Friedman had.
But only IF those things went away and they wont so...
trying to suck the Co2 out of the air.. like the climate changers want
I like to ask Climate Cultists this question:
"The Current Co2 levels are around 35--400 Parts Per Million, Would you want to bring those levels down to below 100 ppm? "
If they say yes, I tell them they fucking hate plants because many plant start dying below 150-200 ppm.
I then go on to tell them the earth has had up to 5,000ppm and during those times we had higher oxygen levels as a consequence and could support larger animals.
They usually shut the fuck up or futility try to prove me wrong on their phones.
I then leave them with the fact that Earth is carbon starved and has been Co2 levels have been decreasing since the end of the Eocene Epoch.
If you think the "climate changers" ultimate goals have anything to do with the climate, I'm a bit disappointed. What is the Paris Accord?
It's always about money. Taking it from someone, giving it to someone, it changes from time to time but don't make the mistake of thinking the climate changers actually know or care about the environment.
if someone is stupid enough to pay me money to "sequester CO2 out of the air"...
i'malettum
We don't need everyone to be perfect, that's how liberals think. He's fine as he is, in fact we need more people like him.
So many here idolize every aspect of Trump, but when it comes to someone really restoring American excellence it’s the utmost skepticism. “Ya know, Trump University was a hunch scam...DEPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Meanwhile, wow, Americans launched back to space from America! Electric cars that outperform gas ones and they are made here, not just designed here!!! SHUT UP! HE DIDN’T KISS TRUMP’s RING!
We are not talking about his engineering skills, but about his moral character.
Listen, I don’t want to get into a character contest. I really have not heard any serious attacks on Musk’s character. If he were a liar, a fraud, a sex deviant, a thief etc. - we would hear about it, lots. He’s a bit quirky, he is a workaholic, he comes off as arrogant at times— but those are all understandable, certainly not horrible evils. I like seeing a smart man not tolerate bullshit. He knows time is breathing down his neck. He has important work he wants to accomplish.
He is a true inspiration and a heroic figure. Most billionaires are not in the least. I know firsthand from time with them in NYC and La Jolla.
Yeah he's not like all the bickering politicians, he's a doer, and a visionary. I don't necessarily like all aspects of his vision for humanity, but I respect it.
I don't trust the wealthiest man on the planet, regardless of who it currently is, but I find it amusing that Musk enjoys trolling Bezos.
You may not believe me, but Elon is not the richest person in the world. Nor is it Jeff Bezos
Then who is?
Those lists never count people who gained their wealth through their title or something like that. E.g. the British and Saudi royal families, the Pope, the Rothschilds, etc. Also, they have no way of really knowing how rich people like Putin or Xi really are. Musk is likely the wealthiest private citizen.
Rothschilds supposedly have trillions. I'm sure the Rockefellers are right up there with them.
I used to be anti Elon musk cause he started solar city. But this past year I am a fan. Looks like he used solar to pay for his rocket fuel. Genius
I don't nose who you are talkin' about....
((())) are so 2015 dude
Didn’t have a home country for 2000 years, were occupied by various world empires for 1000 before that. Worst. Ruling Class. Ever.
In response to what?
Yeah I'm out of the loop too. Can someone fill some pedes in?
Washington Post wrote a piece titled, "Elon Musk moved to Texas and embraced celebrity. Can Tesla run on Autopilot?" and when they asked Musk for comments, that's how he responded.

Thanks
I can't help but like the guy.
How can one man be so based? (although Nueralink be kinda sketchy) Best African American ever.
Spooks/Bezos, Soros.. Rothschilds? So many candidates.
If there is no way to make them like you, why be civil
Finally a billionaire who understands the power of fuck-you money.
Doesn’t Amazon own Rivian, an electric vehicle company? Not surprised Amazon would fabricate things to hurt Tesla, a competitor.
And Blue Origin, a Spacex competitor. Bezos copies Musk’s every move, and Musk hates him for it.
Blue Origin - yea, Riven, not that I know of, they may have a stake, but they are not majority SH.
Blue Origin is noting more than a massive money pit, was launched before SpaceX, and had spent a tonne more cash, but had vet to launch to orbit, and only has one product that's supposed to be 'ready' - the BE-4 Rocket engine that ULA will be using - that has also yet to take flight even n basic testing.
It's so funny they would post this lol...
They were sucking elon's dick this morning on the local news for putting together an all civilian space launch. Tomorrow they'll be bitching about something else he said. Fucking fags
"Democracy dies in darkness"
... says the planet that is blocking the sun.
Based African-American
🖕
Top kek
Based African-American Billionaire!
I am a fan of Elon
Based turbo autist
Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn.
I like Elon for the sole fact that he pisses off lib fags.
Finally someone talks about the jews
This is scarily too borderline shitpost and things I think will happen in real life.
Just signed up for Starlink Internet yesterday. I will admit I didn't like Elon many years ago when he was first coming up.....but the guy pulls at my inner childhood heart strings in way too many ways. He may well be the "South American Trump" in another 20 years.
He may not be a saint.....but he gets what matters in this country....and he is damn fine example of what being an American is all about.
What was the article about?
Beautiful
I can picture Jeff Bezos seething in bed over this next to his 6-out-of-ten girlfriend.
Bezos must not invite him to the billionaire dinners where they discuss the latest BS they want to put on us little people.
He fools so many into thinking he’s “based” while he pushes his green energy agenda. Classic misdirection.
Nothing wrong with pushing green energy. This guy is really smart
Technology isn't political. Solar panels and eventually nuclear power will help keep us free from being reliant on the mid-east for the oil needed to power our basic infrastructure.
It will also displace coal and oil
Washington Compost slogan, "It LOOKS like a newspaper, but it's NOT!"
DJT: "Elon is one of our great brains. We like great brains"
Fucking kek
Free speech is awesome the press still sucks
God damn, I wish he was natural born citizen. 2028
Please tell me this is real
The Washington Post, aka Pravda
Let's say aka The Global Times. Pravda is accurate too but I'd prefer to deprive the Russiagate propaganda of oxygen and maintain laser focus on who our present day enemies are.
I'm using this. A lot.
I wipe say this is a lawsuit waiting to happen but, it is NYC.
WaPo is so Cringe. Elon's genius is making people think he is a nerd. He's on like his third wife and has 5-7 children. Probably has more in common with Trump than Bezos.
My fucking hero!
Classic Love it That Tesla guy is f ing smart as
I wouldn't talk to any of them either, ever.
based
