Elon is arguably one of the most powerful men in the world. I read in The New York Times that Starlink is pretty much Ukraine's only telecommunication service left, so the Ukrainan forces need it for communication. If Elon were to decide to cut down their access to Starlink, the war would become much more difficult to Ukraine. So Elon's willingness to keep donating Starlink units to Ukraine and keep them running is a significant factor in who will prevail in that conflict.

Starlink is effectively a monopoly. You can only put so much crap into LEO before you fill that orbital lane, and Elon's satellites have used up a lot of that bandwidth. A competitor would be hard pressed to find a set of orbits that would create worldwide coverage without the risk of collisions.

SpaceX is currently the only transportation method available to the ISS; so supplies to ISS and US personnel aboard are counting on Elon to keep the ships running. (Previously, the US had relied on Russia for this service.)

Tesla Motors charging units are the most common and functional electric vehicle charging network. US lawmakers are working with Elon to insure that Tesla chargers will be compatible with all plug-in EVs, but if Elon decided to make the Tesla charging network proprietary then he would be very close to cornering the market for EVs.

The US still has access to Soyuz, in fact a NASA astronaut arrived at the ISS on a Soyuz flight yesterday. Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is currently in testing; although it does appear to be doomed to be a commercial failure compared to Dragon it will carry crew at least six times. Northrup-Grumman currently flies expendable supply ships to the ISS and a company called Sierra Space has also been contracted for this work with a new design. In addition NASA and the national security community make use of launch vehicles from ULA, Rocketlabs and Firefly Aerospace as well as their own government owned assets such as the X-37 and Orion.

Space colonization is such a joke. No one wants to live on Mars. It is a desolate wasteland with a third of Earth's gravity. Honestly building super space structures with artificial gravity would be easier than Terraforming Mars.

I think it’s a really good goal. We are lost as a species at the moment - what we need is a new frontier to explore. We need to go up against something wonderous and bigger than us, to find ourselves again. I think we have to go into space, or we are doomed. Mars will be a good test ground and we can go from there.

With a lot of that kind of rich guy their anchor to reality is their wives, but Musk is too intimidated by any woman who could fill that role to the point he's always picking feckless womenchildren who he can impress (until they grow out of his cult of ego).

I’ve thought this too that the man needs an anchor. Maybe intimidated or maybe just clueless. The multiple Families and children seems like an autist engineering solution to an emotional loss and grief problem - multiple failsafes. The problem is they’re people, not parts.
The best thing he could do is find some nice, fame- proof, utterly based and no nonsense farm girl/woman and just stop sticking his dick in crazy. The problem is, where do you find that if you’re a billionaire but not old money? I’d be pretty suspicious of any pretty girls set in my path.
Anyway, I’m never really sure what I think of him. Sometimes he seems like an arse and sometimes he’s very funny and makes me laugh. I like some of what he does (always been a space fan) and I think other stuff is wrong (neuralink.) . He’s always interesting though. The seethingvwhen he bought twitter was hilarious
He is also clearly very, very smart. People are all ‘he hires people to do the stuff!’ But you don’t run an engineering or aerospace company by doing it all yourself. There is too much to do. He is clearly far more involved with the shop floor level than the average exec.
I hope he keeps on with space X, yeets twitter into a black hole, lets grimey see that little lad, and carries on being weird and amusing. If we have to have billionaires I’d rather they were working on rockets and tweeting while high than whatever miserable grind bill gates and Soros are cooking up.

Did you guys watch any of the Twitter space he did with Ben Shapiro, the former president of Israel, and some other jews to talk about """""free speech""""" on twitter? It was disgusting. Elon opened by saying he went to a hebrew kindergarten, he claimed he was "aspirationally jewish" (his words) and that he had more jewish friends than gentile friends. He was also stuttering super hard the whole time. It was absolutely vile. Watching gentiles sucking up to jews is so nauseating.

I still remember all the idiots that said he was going to "save twitter"
Another side of the same coin, he's going to suck up to ADL just as much, if not more than the previous administration

BREAKING: Elon Musk will provide Starlink for aid groups in Gaza​

Archive
Musk made the comment in reply to New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

As rockets continue to fire across the border from Gaza to Israel and Israel launches a ground invasion of Gaza, Elon Musk has said that "Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza."

Musk made the comment in reply to New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who offered concerns that Israel, which has laid siege to Gaza after a brutal Hamas attack on October 7, had cut off communications in the region.

"Cutting off all communication to a population of 2.2 million is unacceptable," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "Journalists, medical professionals, humanitarian efforts, and innocents are all endangered. I do not know how such an act can be defended. The United States has historically denounced this practice."

Her remarks were in reference to Husam Zomlot's worry about his family in Gaza. Zomlot, who is the Head of Palestinian Mission to the UK, said "I have been trying to reach my family in Gaza for hours with no success. All telecommunications and internet have been cut, while Israeli strikes is literally destroying Gaza from air land and sea. How many more innocent people: children, parents and grandparents will be murdered before the world steps in?"

"We will support the UN and other internationally recognized aid groups," Musk said.

Ocasio-Cortez has been accused of sympathizing with Hamas terrorists as she, and others of her progressive caucus, have called for a ceasefire in the region. A ceasefire is also what Hamas is calling for, though Hamas was the group that instigated this latest war. Aid has been pouring into Gaza, facilitated in part by the UN. This includes $100 million from the US.

Biden said that a "top priority" was to provide aid to to Gaza. In a speech, he said "In discussions with the leaders of Israel and Egypt, I secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance from the United Nations to Palestinian civilians in Gaza. If Hamas does not divert or steal this shipment, these shipments, we're going to provide an opening for sustained delivery of Life Saving humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians." Aid began rolling into the region on October 14.

Israel had cut off communications in the area to prevent Hamas terrorists from communicating with each other as Israel launches the ground invasion. Israel had directed civilians to leave the area, enlisting the UN to help deliver that message. Electricity was cut off to the area a week ago.

Civilians have few options as to where to go, since the only land exit out of Gaza is through the Rafah crossing to Egypt, and neither Egypt, nor other neighboring nations, wish to accept the flow of Palestinian refugees from a war zone.

Twitter has always been a place for toxic people and the handling is pretty confusing with the threads and the comments being shown seperately. You also can't simply look up something you posted and tweets get deleted on a regular basis, even without containing hateful content. It was funny for memes and to follow your favourite brands for a time. Since Musk became the commander of the ship, it's darn unusable. I hope X gets banned in the EU.

Felix, we know you're just mad because you get bullied consistently on there too, and that's a hugbox for types like you. You should open it up again, it's a fun read. Not as fun as your dad's (@ChrisLangWriter) though:

I don't understand how you abandon those platforms but come here for your ass whoopings. We are far more effective than they are.

It's almost like you enjoy it....

Musk Says Old Twitter Was Censoring Conservatives 10x More Than Liberals, and He Took Over to Thwart the “Mind Virus” Affecting Civilization ​

(Archive)​

Musk appeared on the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.

X owner Elon Musk has announced that the platform, before he took it over, heavily “suppressed” conservative content, specifically signaling out Republicans who, according to him, were suppressed tenfold in comparison to liberals.

“Republicans were suppressed 10 times the rate of Democrats,” Musk said. “Now, that’s because old Twitter was fundamentally controlled by the far left. It was like, completely controlled by the far left.”

Musk’s revelations on the social media platform’s approach came while he was conversing with none other than podcaster, Joe Rogan. Drawing attention to the prior administrative period of Twitter, unabashedly led by its creator Jack Dorsey and then Parag Agrawal, Musk gave voice to startling revelations that have resonated with proponents of free speech and internet transparency.

As you’ll remember, journalists Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and others, had published a series of revealing reports at the end of 2022, collectively called the “Twitter Files.” Approved by Musk, these reports revealed the prevailing symbiotic relationship between the then-Twitter leadership and the federal government, suggesting a larger agenda of online content censorship targeting conservative, and even moderate, ideas.

Launching a subtle critique at Jack Dorsey, Musk described the previous Twitter set-up as a government appendage. Making a further bold claim, Musk noted that Twitter had been virtually at the disposal of the far left ideologists and that its neutrality was nothing more than a farce.

Over time, Musk and people sharing his viewpoint have been continuously blowing the horn against the apparent censorship exercised by the US Government, referring to the infamous 2020 New York Post’s narrative regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Claims of censorship have also arisen in context with the “Twitter Files,” suggesting that the official posts of then-President Donald Trump and other officers, particularly those challenging the voting protocols and alleging voter fraud, were supervised with extreme scrutiny.

Twitter’s relationship with the FBI, although challenged by their attorneys, further points towards the alleged encroachment on free speech from the government entity.

Republicans, too, have had their suspicions validated by Musk’s statements. They brought former Twitter executives under the congressional spotlight in February, particularly discussing the incident involving Hunter Biden’s laptop, unveiled just before the 2020 Presidential elections.

While presenting his rationale for the purchase, Musk linked it to a grand vision of saving mankind from what he referred to as a “zombie apocalypse.”

Musk also said there is a “mind virus” spreading through an “information technology weapon” could lead to the end of civilization.

As Musk put it, he viewed his Twitter acquisition as a way to support and preserve freedom of speech. Responding to Rogan’s question about his motive behind the purchase, the outspoken tech mogul cited the alarming corrosiveness of social media on humanity. Echoing sentiments that many free speech activists have been raising, Musk argued that social media platforms have been weaponized as tools of information technology – spreading a sort of “mind virus” that nurtures a herd mentality among its users. He also pointed out the alienating effects of this phenomenon, suggesting it has led to a zombie-like population in areas around the Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.

Rogan applauded Musk for his actions to prevent further descent towards a culture that suppresses people’s freedom to voice their thoughts. “It was important to have at least one social media outlet that wasn’t canceling people,” Musk argued.
