Elon Musk

Elon is so entertaining. More of celebrity than anything else. Here is another beauty:


"Elon Musk Challenges Johnny Depp To A Cage Fight"
The ongoing libel case between Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard has provided some rather disturbing insights, painting a frankly horrifying picture of a toxic relationship. The latter defecating on the former’s pillow purely out of spite, the former having his finger sliced off during a fit of rage… and now, Depp’s legal team is claiming Heard once engaged in a threesome with ex-husband Elon Musk and Cara Delevigne while they were still married. There are apparently even texts sent by Depp himself threatening to slice off the billionaire CEO’s penis.


Now usually, we wouldn’t engage with such low-brow tabloid fodder. But in the past few days, a rather intriguing development has occurred vis-a-vis Elon Musk and Johnny Depp. While Musk maintains no such infidelity transpired, this messy slice of drama has caused some friction. Honours besmirched. Good names sullied. Nerves flicked, if you will. It’s all gotten pretty medieval. To the point where Musk publicly issued a “challenge”

The Babylon Bee interviews Elon. Non satirical btw, just a sit down and discussing things. Pretty interesting.

Thanks @wayneL , I invite fellow ASF members to watch, obviously a few boring points but found this very interesting..I think Elon is a functioning light Asperger type, which I like for the absence of BS. A very interesting and frank interview, also like his telling how a solar plant makes more energy from the ground surface of a nuclear power plant + exclusion zone..would temperate that with the fact many reactors are usually piled up in the same plant but overall quite a good point.
So back to the issue of power storage ..and IMHO, lithium is NOT the answer.
Anyway, a good watch for Christmas but not for the leftist woke :)
 
I watched the whole hour and a half. He made many points, most of them pertinent and deeply thought through. An interesting forum to talk on, and the BB guys are getting a lot of publicity. I am trying to get my son to take in the whole podcast; he is stuck in the "cult of Elon" thing, which I can accept as being valid but not the full bloke.

Lithium may not be the (full) answer but the described pathway involved batteries. Somewhere, somehow.

Or as in turns water into wine?

I certainly think he is a false messiah, sooner or later the market will realise there is very little substance to the hype. Tesla is basically dead in the water, its not a car manufacturer by any meaningful definition.

Well... didn't he prove you wrong.
But hey, a lot of very intelligent people thought the same as you so no fret.
 
Elon Musk seems to get away with a few things that mere mortals do not.
The SEC hit him with a damp lettuce over tweets regarding taking Tesla private, then did nothing when he ignored the requirements of said lettuce slapping.
From Zero Hedge
Just recently, he tweeted to his many followers asking them if they thought it would be a good idea to buy into Twitter.
Gave the twitter price a shakeup for which he might have been asked a few questions by the SEC.
Then he goes and buys a 14.9% stake in Twitter.
This sent the Twitter employees who actually run the company into a Frenzy, as some of his views are considered "extreme".
The Board of Twitter offered him a seat on the board, given his holdings, which he seemed to think was a good idea.
He has now decided against taking up the board offer.
Perhaps one of the reasons for his decision not to take it up, is that by law, a member of a US company board cannot own more than 15% of a company on which they sit.
So by declining, he is now free to go beyond his initial stake.
This could get interesting.

I need to make a correction to the above.
1. He only bought a 9.2% stake in twitter.
2.The 14.9% limit was a board limit, not one that is a legal USA wide limit.
I misread the original article.
Notwithstanding that, the shares of twitter , having been falling from a high of 80 bucks early in 2021 to 35 bucks just recently, have taken a jump to 47 bucks last night. So shareholders should thank him greatly.
His refusal to accept the board nomination, allows him to buy more or sell his shares without having the SEC type timing restrictions placed on him. It also bypasses the limit of 15% that the board position would have forced on him.
And to top it off, it removes restrictions on what he can about the board, its management, or the company as a whole.
I would think that employees and board members of twitter will be a touch uneasy.
