That is how it works. You cooperate with government corruption and they give you deals. You don't cooperate, no deal.

Yup.

SpaceX won't need the subsidies anyway. They are so far ahead of any competition that it is not even funny. SpaceX are launching 50+ satellites almost every week now using reusable rockets that have already been bought and paid for by previous launches from paying customers. Who can catch this?

A Delaware judge has handed Elon Musk a huge win and ordered Twitter to hand over documents to the Tesla CEO that detail the number of fake accounts and spam bots on the platform.

The documents are from a former Twitter executive who Musk said performed a critical role in calculating the number of fake accounts on the social media platform.

IAS and DoubleVerify, which are both based in New York, use technology to independently verify that digital ads are viewed by real people. Advertisers use the services to ensure the ads they pay for are seen by potential customers and not automated bots.

Good point - advertising companies definitely want to know they are paying for real people to view their ads, and not bots. They have a financial interest in the truth.

Court allows Musk allowed to use Whistleblower testimony of servers with security updates turned off and long out of date, widespread production access beyond what is necessary, and bot accounts from former Twitter IT Security Official

60-80% of Twitter accounts posting on Russia-Ukraine war bots, 90% ‘pro Ukraine’, finds new study

Scholars from the University of Adelaide studied 5.2 million posts shared between 23 February & 8 March & found the bots may be pushing people to flee their homes in these countries.

Hmmm.

1. Elon starts speaking truth.
2. Super-important flaw discovered in Tesla cars requiring recall of one million cars:

The window automatic system of some Teslas may not detect obstructions, meaning that as they close, they could pinch fingers in their way

Patrick says

That's worth a recall? I didn't know cars even had this feature. Get yer damn fingers out of the way when the window is closing or learn the hard way. It was already possible to disable rear windows so kids couldn't screw around.

This nerf-the-world mentality is producing more idiots by the day.

Yep, now watch somehow someone gets their dick caught in that closing window.

Elon Musk Overrules Biden, Offers 4-Point Peace Deal for Russia and Ukraine

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has overruled Democrat President Joe Biden to offer up a four-point peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

...
He then listed four points that he said could bring “Ukraine-Russia Peace” which were:

Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people.
Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake).
Water supply to Crimea assured.
Ukraine remains neutral.

That would all be good if the UN could be trusted to conduct a fair election. They cannot. No way. The UN is nothing but a tool of the Western criminal oligarchy.

Patrick says

That would all be good if the UN could be trusted

LOL. In the words of Stalin: “How many divisions does the Pope of Rome have?”

Same with UN. It's completely paralized by the veto system.

False analogy.

Elon is asking for a re-vote by the people in the contested territories, not just surrendering them.

https://dossier.substack.com/p/the-musk-peace-plan-for-ukraine-and?publication_id=69009&post_id=76448284&isFreemail=true

Peace is not profitable, and certainly not the ideal result to the primary stakeholders involved in the Russia-Ukraine war, but it is for sure the preferable outcome for the rest of humanity. It’s time to seriously consider the Musk Peace Plan as a roadmap for stability in a region that desperately needs to turn down the temperature.

Patrick says

How cute. "Re-vote" after an ethnic purge is surrender to whoever holds the territory at the moment.

cisTits says

Before you get all holier than thou, the allies did similar shit after WW2 and w/o even giving the effected minorities a vote on the matter

Nobody getting "holier", just pointing to the obvious fact: after you grab and clense the territory of "undesirables" you can safely hold any kind of "vote" and get the langrab legalized.

Glad we agree on how this works.

This is Elon's biggest failure.

He should openly admit he was wrong and that the vaxx is DANGEROUS and INEFFECTIVE and should be banned immediately.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -China’s ambassador to the United States thanked Elon Musk for proposing a special administration zone for Taiwan

LOL

Patrick says

This is Elon's biggest failure.

How's that hyperloop doing?

He's making natural gas and coal fired cars, and it's only because of ignorance and fraud people think this is a good thing.

I'm not impressed with him. He makes pretend solutions, not real ones.

Medicine is obviously not Elon's forte. But then, it isn't most people's forte, either. Still at the level of mystery and superstition.

I say that promoting the vaxx is Elon's biggest failure because the vaxx is killing a lot of people. Lack of hyperloop isn't killing anyone.

Well, with regard to the vaxx, define "success"?

It's pretty obvious to me at this point, people in certain positions are only allowed those positions, if they promote certain points of view and if they don't, they're removed.

I don't know if you have ever heard of Lyndon LaRouche, for example, and I was taught he was a criminal and a nutcase. He wasn't. Ron Paul got the same treatment, except not a criminal, but a racist. Even if you have power, and go against an establishment, everything is brought down on you to destroy you, up and including murder. How's John McAfee doing?

"All the world is a stage" it's said by Shakespeare, maybe he was entirely correct.

🇺🇦🇺🇲 Elon Musk was placed on the Ukrainian government’s kill list for about 10-15 minutes before being removed. Apparently someone guessed that Starlink could be turned off permanently.

Yes, it is actually a kill list. When the people on this list are murdered, like journalists Andrea Rocchelli & Darya Dugina were, the word ЛИКВИДИРОВАН, “LIQUIDATED,” written in Ukrainian, is stamped across their picture in big red letters.

It will be fun when all of the Ukrainian blackmail against US politicians finally comes to light. Auntie Lindsey might like it in prison servicing all the Nazi Bubbas.

Of course, offering Starlink to Ukraine could just have been a way of testing its spying ability on their comms. Russians could use Starlink, too, one would presume.

My car has Starlink. Maybe some day it will be sucked into space, targeted with DEW, or run off the road by the CIA.

Now I read that he's just demanding that they pay for the service after they told him to fuck off.

Elon Musk Tells Ukraine to Pay for Starlink after Ukrainian Official Told Him to ‘F*ck Off’

SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely and send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100X greater than typical households. This is unreasonable.

"Forgive us, Elon. It was the ten lines of cocaine talking."

Weak.

Elon must have gotten some Russian subsidies for back doors.
