a government welfare whore, which is what Elon Musk is,
He did develop rockets that land themselves,
and he has created a car company that produces hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually.
He might benefit from some government hand-outs, but it doesn't seem like that is his primary business
By your standards, is there anyone who makes a lot of money who is not a welfare whore and can instead be described as a producer of wealth?
I'd be curios to have more information about Lockheed Martin's rockets that land. I've never heard of them before.
Can you provide some data to support your welfare whore assertion? For example for Tesla and SpaceX, what revenue did they have in 2021 and how much of that was from the government?
Elon reportedly send this mail to Tesla employees:
1) Avoid large meetings
Large meetings waste valuable time & energy
- They discourage debate
- People are more guarded than open
- There’s not enough time for everyone to contribute
Don’t schedule large meetings unless ...
... you’re certain they provide value to everyone
2) Leave a meeting if you’re not contributing
If a meeting doesn’t require your:
- Input
- Value
- Decisions
Your presence is useless.
It’s not rude to leave a meeting.
But it’s rude to waste people’s time.
3) Forget the chain of command
Communicate with colleagues directly.
Not through supervisors or managers.
Fast communicators make fast decisions.
Fast decisions = competitive advantage.
4) Be clear, not clever
Avoid nonsense words and technical jargon.
It slows down communication.
Choose words that are:
- Concise
- To the point
- Easy to understand
Don’t sound smart. Be efficient.
5) Ditch frequent meetings
There’s no better way to waste everyone’s time.
Use meetings to:
- Collaborate
- Attack issues head-on
- Solve urgent problems
But once you resolve the issue, frequent meetings are no longer necessary.
You can resolve most issues without a meeting.
Instead of meetings:
- Send a text
- Send an email
- Communicate on a discord or slack channel
Don’t interrupt your team’s workflow if it’s unnecessary.
6) Use common sense
If a company rule doesn’t:
- Make sense
- Contribute to progress
- Apply to your specific situation
Avoid following the rule with your eyes closed.
Don’t follow rules. Follow principles.
Elon sounds like an excellent boss.
Someone said it's a Diamondback, but I don't see it here:
ELON: TO WAR!!! (With... Apple?!)

#Pfizer pulled its enormous marketing budget from #Twitter.
#Musk pulled the 'Covid-misinformation community guidelines'.
It's almost like those 'safety guidelines' were nothing more than paid corporate protection to silence the victims of vaccine injury...
In December 2020, Twitter started actively suppressing any COVID-19 information that did not align with official government statements, which if you'll recall, changed regularly: Don't mask, mask, double mask, masks don't actually work, we made up the whole mask thing to make people feel better, etc.
To build public trust in Covid vaccines Twitter will be upping the censorship. Because that's how you build trust, by hiding things.
The medical experts and arbiters of truth at Twitter are continuing their fight against the open exchange of ideas on their platform with an update to their Covid-19 policies.

It was hard to keep up with the government channels on what the latest Covid vogue was, and over 11,000 Twitter users got deplatformed for not towing the line.
But now, Twitter is under new management, and Elon Musk's free speech view of the company is shaking things up.
With very little fanfare, a note was added to the Covid policy page:
Effective November 23, 2022, Twitter is no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy.
Musk promised to start a period of amnesty for all the people who were banned by Twitter this week.
Patrick says
Musk responded, “I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone.”
It would still need a carrier network though, right? Pretty Sure Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile are all woke so he would have to use StarLink if feasible.
No, carriers and phones don't have to be connected.
I doubt there's a single cellphone in existence that costs over $200 to produce.
The cost of making an iPhone 13 Pro, Apple's latest iPhone, is $570.
