I don't understand all the hate on Musk. He has returned the USA to the space industry and turned the automotive industry on its ear. So he is a bit weird. And all of you haters are normal?

Tesla’s Austin Gigafactory could be an environmental disaster waiting to happen
Elon Musk promised an “ecological paradise,” but his newest Gigafactory is anything but so far for those living in its shadow.
- he also laughed this stuff off when the press asked about it..neverscared

I don’t know anything about this but loving these takes on twitter.
Quoth the twitter raven:
It’s pretty wild that the board voted *unanimously* for the poison pill measure
Even @jack
Do you really think @elonmusk would be that horrible of an owner?
He does have a track record of being modestly successful, being the richest man in the world and whatnot
- Nothing but bluster from the megalomanic Musk. Since when did Elon really ever care about democracy? He's too busy trolling and bullying people on Twitter.utopian

I really loathe this narcissist cunt now. Quite liked him when he was just cars and rockets...now, he's just one of those out of touch cockheads that thinks he needs to save everyone from everything.
- you do this with anybody that wants to advance the species in any way?grafician
- no...only the ones that step outside their lanes and into others they have no business being in.BusterBoy
- Yeah, fuck those guys that try to better themselves or others. What an asshole.lemmy_k
- Are you even on twitter? :))grafician
- everything is possible with a super rich dad....neverscared
- I hope he manages to buy Twitter. the meltdowns will be entertainingGnash
- ...just imagine the nuclear meltdowns if restores Trump... *gigglePonyBoy
- I mean, he's always been an out of touch moron. Did it really take "pretty much anybody can afford a 100k trip to Mars" to tip the scales?garbage

- I liked him with Tesla and SpaceX. I always wondered how he could be partners with Theil, but now I am worrying the truth is coming out.formed
- Thiel is a mad man and will stop at nothing for power. Musk is starting to show he might be as crazy and power hungry.formed
- Let's pray he doesn't succeed with Twitter. It'll be a nightmare for democracy and embolden Trump/Thiel's insanity.formed

Has Elon the savior made a bid to purchase Netflix yet?
- I hope that our dear lord of space, saves Netflix to save us.utopian
- lol netflix is worthless
remember when they said their only competition is our sleep before 20 other subscription services emergedgrafician - Genius Elon can fix it. He's brilliant.Krassy
- Capitalism solved the Netflix problem. But Elon could make it even betterPhanLo
- We need Netflix on Mars so we can tweet about the latest mindless made up dribble, to pacify the masses, else there'll be anarchy on Mars..shapesalad

- He's really losing mine and many people's respect. His recent actions are revealing a lot of horrible things about him. He better shut up soon.formed

"Underground tunnels are immune to surface weather conditions (subways are a good example), so it wouldn’t matter to Hyperloop if a hurricane was raging on the surface. You wouldn’t even notice."
- Elon = grafician :)NBQ00
- the new einstein..neverscared
- but, stable geniusutopian
- Musk is all the linkedin brainfarts combined. He is like voltron of linkedin poststank02
- comparing the hyperloop system with an old af subway system?!
wowgrafician - A subway system which quite famously sits mostly below the watertable in a city that is much built on sand, and itself barely above sea level.Nairn
- Huh, I might be mistaken about the sand thing - I thought it was just Manhattan that stood on bedrock, pout that might not be the case...Nairn
- https://www.6sqft.co…Nairn
- Yes blame Elon for the entire East Coast being under water in a few decades while hyperloop is available in Cali and Nevada :))grafician
- The stable genius preselected his tunnels to be built in deserts. What a great fanboy comparison.utopian
- I would love to see Musk try to build is Hyperloop in NYC, Boston or Miami. But his Hyperloop in Las Vegas has a top speed of 10 MPH, LOLutopian

The man who promises to fix Twitter by removing all the bots was most recently trying to put an interface into monkey brains
How’d that monkey thing turn out btw
- Worked out ok, although not so much for the monkeys.Nairn
- Twitter is a probe into the monkeys brains. And you lot on twitter are the monkeys.shapesalad

I can't wait to see the meltdowns over Twitter in this thread!
- what meltdowns?Krassy

- chaos!ernexbcn
- I barely joined Twitter this year... that was only because they started limiting what you could read without an account.jonny_quest_lives
- I waste more characters daily in the QBN comments than there. So by that metric QBN is worth more than Twitter. Elon should buy QBN.jonny_quest_lives

this is sort of like tom selling myspace back in the day, but in reverse.
could give a fuck about twitter but it'd be hilarious if people abandon the platform in droves and it becomes this sad libertarian bitchland
- how are your peace negotiations with Putin going?ernexbcn
- i'm not the one wanting negotiations? i just don't think the US using ukranian lives to fight a war against russia is a good thing.colin_s
- Imagine how offensive would be that is your country the one being invaded and someone tells you thisernexbcn
- Imagine being such a fuckin weirdo you’d leave Twitter because of who owns it. Lol. As if anyone cared who owned it before.monospaced

I hope the sale goes through, Jack even probably wants it to happen.

Hey got it. Twitter bought by Elon - and a load of banks that backed up his offer and are in on it.
50bucks a share some analysis saying. Arbitrage opportunity ahead.
- He*shapesalad
- Doge spiked on the news. Lol.shapesalad
- I guess now Elon will have to start paying his fare share of taxes....or will he find yet another tax loophole?utopian
- @utopian he paid like $13B last time, the biggest taxes paid in the history of taxes in america man :)))grafician
- sorry it was $11B
https://www.cnbc.com…grafician - cough... cough... "Algorithmically enhanced free speech" be careful authenticating those users Elon. The Twitter user count might drop by 50%.jonny_quest_lives
- after getting rid of all the bots that fucked up democracies everywhere, still having 100M users would be a plusgrafician
