Elon showing up at his first Twitter board meeting:

[#2]
Elon has allies on the board. Elliot Management and Silver Lake, own about a billion dollars worth of Twitter stock each.  They’re not friendly to the current CEO, and according to Financial Times, they’re backing Elon.


So that’s another, approximately 6% of share holders backing Elon.

He's looking further forward than the next election cycle. It's very possible that in 100 or 200 years, automation will reach a point where there is simply nothing most people are able to do that earns money. Particularly those with only average or below average IQ. What is to be done with them in a case like that?

2021 he says he’s going to pay 11 billion in taxes.

I guess the one year he didn’t owe taxes is where the No tax thing comes from.

No politician ever voted for a tax law that didn’t leave themselves a loophole.

I agree.  Whatever is posted can never go away, but you can put in an explanation, tied to the original, and above the sig line, so the media has a harder time scrubbing your explanation of a stupid comment.

Well musk is working on human to computer interfaces (brain chips) to prevent us from becoming quickly obsolete, never mind others working on improvements in genetic engineering, I think the timing for us being obsolete is very very long term, perhaps centuries out.
Frankly the whole human limited capability reminds me of peak oil a little, “if things stay the same we’ll run out of oil!” Lol.

He's largely here to agitate and do the ole "Hehe everyone in GD is dumber than meeeeeeeee" baitposting, complete with a sub .500 Win-Loss record
Truly giggleworthy.

In reality we did a soft UBI trial during the pandemic when people sat home and got a good % of their income to do nothing.
Many millions of people didn't want go back to work of ANY sort, because: Fucking why would they?
A multi-month paid vacation? Of course they took it.

It's something we've known about the problems with socialism and big .gov programs, but because it's Current YearTM and some thinktankers found the concept in history's ash-heap and slapped a Current YearTM marketing label on it? And the sales literature says it's Different This TimeTM?
They totally fooled people.

I don't think he built Tesla to be green, I think he just wanted EV's to be a practical reality and he has done more than about anybody else towards that end. I think that because of that, he was sort of held up by the greens, but that doesn't make him a believer himself.

I don't agree with using the government to redistribute legacy competitors' earnings to his company in the time it took for it to become profitable, but the auto market has some pretty substantial barriers to entry, and the legacy companies aren't guiltless in using the government to their advantage either.

The left thought that they had him figured out and they were wrong. The right so desperately wants a champion that they are willing to overlook the fact that Elon is in no way a right winger, either. He is simply a pragmatist.  Take a bit of advice and don't put any eggs in that basket, because you will end up being disappointed.  You can certainly like some of the things he does, but I can guarantee you that you won't like all of the things he does.

I agree completely.  The point of my original post is that he would fail the ARFCOM purity test. I find it interesting that he, like Trump, gets a pass on policy because people think he's engaged in fighting the culture war. As a friend said to me last night, "I don't care if he does other evil shit, at least he doesn't hate me."

Conservatism is largely pragmatic.   I agree, it's not the same thing, but it beats the rainbows and unicorn farts of the left.

Something something judging public policy on it's intentions instead of it's results.

Many here are almost desperate to assume the worst in things.

My personal experience has been that the overwhelming majority hate this woke shit, especially when they start calling for censorship or worse, and are just afraid to speak up. Someone in leadership willing to resist the ideology is potentially very popular.

Yes, but the average IQ required to make a living wage is rising faster than the average IQ of the population, and there is no indication either will change.
