Trans rights or else

Imagine your entire worldview being controlled by unelected billionaires influencing your government and media.

I’d like to suggest a correctly define fascism or ban rule

It all reads to me like they couldn’t prove he was guilty. So, there’s your answer.

Sell em

You’re a fool if you think he’s my hero

Because Musk’s rejection of Lidar was foolish

Okay, and the OP’s source for Elon’s success coming solely from daddy’s money and nothing else is what?

Musk has publicly laid out that anybody can get rich writing software without much startup capital - which not only makes sense but by all accounts seems to be exactly what he did.

This is a common misconception. His daddy loaned him a whopping 28 grand. Nothing mind blowing, and certainly not what you’d expect the heir of a freaking emerald mine to get their hands on.

Elon Musk got most of his capital early in his career from the sale of his first company, Zip2, which he co-founded with his brother Kimbal in 1995 using $28,000 borrowed from their father[1][6]. In 1999, Zip2 was sold to Compaq for $307 million, with Musk earning $22 million[1][6]. Musk then invested $10 million of his Zip2 proceeds into founding X.com, one of the first attempts at online banking, which later became PayPal[1]. After PayPal, Musk invested all of his proceeds into his new projects: SpaceX ($100 million), Tesla ($70 million), and SolarCity ($10 million) [1]. By 2008, he was almost penniless and living on $200 thousand monthly loans from his friends after a $20 million divorce[1]. However, his fortunes changed, and by 2017, his net worth had risen to $16 billion[1].

I wonder if there’s a hydrohomies community

I hope you’re not suggesting that climate science shouldn’t be trusted.

I’m saying that blind faith in any science leaves one vulnerable. It is a bureaucratic labyrinth of conflicting human interests, and far from the pure philosophical ideal of pursuing knowledge and truth.

This is why you don’t just “trust the science.” Greed, egos, corruption, perverse incentives. There’s a lot going on in the background that people are ignorant about.

My uncle once told me about how he grew up as a “displaced person” because of WW2. He ended up at a variety of boarding schools. They had the policy of letting the boys sort shit out themselves. From his experience, it sounded like it worked.

This is cool

It’s called being a satellite

I have a vague recollection of a Canadian politician getting cornered with a great question on covid response overreach on a video call, and after everyone watching, including a live audience, heard everything crystal clear, they were like “sorry, we seem to be having technical issues, couldn’t hear the question, looks like you’re breaking up!” And then they hung up LOL.

Nothing to see here, folks, go back to your business!

The Ground app

Ignoring all common sense approaches to staying competitive by using simple, textbook ideas of strategic management does negatively impact growth.

Imagine that!

I virtually never want food or water. My body screams “eat now or you’re going into a coma, idiot!”

Yup this is why I block after commenting now. 20 years on social media, taking abuse and insult the whole time because I disagree with someone. I’m just done.
