Thank you for making my point, trolls. There is way too much nonsense online — too much name-calling, too much dishonesty, too many conspiracy theories. And there is a disturbing tendency for online flash mobs to create an echo chamber of crackpot opinions.

Re: Elon Musk should be the last person to control Twatter.
And who gets to decide whats what? What stops legitimate speech being wrongly lableled as these things, and squashed?
You realize one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist. Asking for censored speech is asking for biased judgements.
Let people say what they want, and let people decide for themselves whats relevent.

He's literally complaining about mean words on the internet.
And every single example he gave has kernals of truth. Sounds like he needs to grow a thicker skin, or avoid social media. Don't call for moderation because you can dish it out but not take it.

Regarding Musk, I'm more interested in whether or not he got compensated for by US goverment for all those trucks full of Starlink terminals he's delivered to Ukraine.
I don't believe SpaceX was lying about donations, but there's probably some mix of purchases and donations.
Good Pr for the US to pay for some, after all.

Twitter was a fun way to text your friends without using your phone bill, but it destroys the point if all your friends and followers can see your tweets and your details.
At least here we're anonymous.

Kind of par for the course with these moguls though. Steve Jobs infamously asked prospects if they were virgin's, feet propped up on the table.

Dunno. Doubt we'll ever really know, they both kept it pretty close to the chest.
Doubt it's his fault or her fault, or really anyone's fault. It's just one of those things that could happen to anyone, and you either get crushed by it or move on.
They chose to move on, so best wishes to them.

Never used Twitter, never plan too, so don't really care of Musk ends up owning it and turning it into some complete shitshow because he's read too many mean tweets and his fragile ego can't handle it.
But I would laugh if the douichebag isn't allowed to have the new toy he so sorely wants, on that merit alone.
Seems there's some level of donation from Musk going on, but they made it seem like it was full on donations initially. Wouldn't be surprised if the true levels of donation keeps dropping the more people dig.
Musk is ranked as the wealthiest person on the planet, he could easily afford to float this entirely and he wouldn't feel it one bit, and it would help to boost his image.
He's only wealthy is the same way that Elizabeth Holmes was wealthy. Via the ridiculously inflated valuations of his companies. Most of his ideas have been complete trash. The Boring Company, Hyperloop, Starlink, Neuralink, Tesla Solar Roofs...none of them even come close to competing with their peers or are just not viable technologies.

He's still frikken uber wealthy though, even if it's not the estimated 270+ bil.
He's pretty safe with electric cars, as that's the automotive future, at least for personal cars. Though gas/petrol isn't going away, just be used less and less.
I hadn't heard his solar panels were subpar? I actually thought the opposite, as you hear nothing but good news about his house batteries and those are connected with the solar panels. My knowledge is probably outdated here.
I was there when it started - Ukrainian minister tweeting his requests to Musk, Musk replying, delivering the goods, then delivering them again...
But the most recent news kinda make it look pre-organized or not nearly as generous as it seemed to be.
Still, even if he was getting paid from the beginning, that sort of involvement is better than Jeff Bezos and his Amazon, which did a whole lot of nothing. Took them a good while to suspend their activities in Russian Federation as well, if memory serves.
Tesla has never made money from cars. Its made money selling carbon credits to other car makers but without that and its hundred million from bitcoin it would lose about 200m a year.
Their solar roofs are shit compared to insulation and normal solar panels. They actually used as a selling point that during a snow storm the only house in the neighbourhood that had a tesla roof was the only house that the snow had melted off the roof...showing that their roofs were horrendous at insulating the house.
Their tesla semis will never happen. Huge numbers of people have already paid for a tesla truck they'll never receive.
He just brain farts too much crap out into the world that he has zero understanding of. Eventually he comes to a realisation and then allows other people to waste their money on his shitty ideas which is why he "open sourced" hyperloop. Because he finally realised that making vacuum tubes hundreds of miles long is just impossible.
