The stock price has nothing to do with Musk's antics. Tech stocks have been down for a long time now.
I just can't see it happening, and I don't think there is currently any way to do it right, not in our lifetime anyway. With no magnetosphere exposure to CMB and solar radiation means existence will be underground and inside heavily shielded buildings. The lower gravity will never allow a breathable atmosphere or the ability to hold on to oxygen. What water there is will be a finite resource and when it evaporates it is lost to space. There needs to he massive steps forward in technology and a change in understanding on what colonising Mars might actually look like. Has Musk ever commented on what the reality would look like?
What I mean is, if starship works then it'll enable a ton of LEO infrastructure to be economic, which could open up space properly. Whether starship gets used for mars or not, doesn't really matter if all that other stuff happens.
Personally I'd love to see a mars base. I've read the books. But I think a self sustaining colony is a fantasy with out a vast amount of bootstrapping. And even if you could, what's the point. Mars is a dead planet, it's a frozen irradiated desert. It would be a hellhole. For sure, put a research base there and let scientists poke around and learn stuff. But
people don't want to live in Antarctica for a reason, and that's 100x easier to survive than mars.
I may be entirely off base here as I have no scientific background or expertise whatsoever, but it's always seemed to me that the scientific challenge of making human life on earth sustainable must be easier than trying to terraform a dead planet. I've heard plenty of reasonable skepticism re: renewable energy sources and I buy that it's a massive challenge. It just doesn't seem as massive a challenge as flying everyone to Mars and growing a garden there.
Well that sure seems like a massive obstacle.It's massively easier, because literally all we have to do on this planet is stop being dickheads. We don't even have to go direct to renewable energies, nuclear is the greenest and cleanest form of energy going and could solve our issues on a temporary basis until renewable and potentially fusion a viable for mass use.

Especially considering you are never going to re-ingite the core to create a magnetosphere to prevent solar winds stripping the atmosphere (again).
His buying of twitter will end up being viewed as beneficial for the world at some point in the future. Twitter really is an amazing platform, and its ability to reach and connect people of nearly all Earth's cultures is valuable to all of us.
People don't like what he's doing right now, but truth is it is wrong to have tech kids muzzling important people in society. And when said muzzling is done only in conjunction with one party in the US it is wrong. Wrong is wrong.
Going forward what really matters is Twitter remaining a free speech platform. Because over time politics will shift and hopefully we will see less polarizing of extreme opinions on everything and it will prove invaluable providing free speech to all who use it. In order to solve problems we must discuss them, not make them taboo like we are modern day Quakers and silence the opposing opinion. Discussion of our toughest challenges and our leaders actually getting together and solving these problems instead of blaming each other and polarizing against the other side is the way forward. If we are going to survive as a people.
Wtf did I just read?

How do you feel about Elon deleting accounts of those that share the video of him being booed?His buying of twitter will end up being viewed as beneficial for the world at some point in the future.

He's so meta
No clue. I'm shocked at the absurdity of being able to play video games on an in-dash video screen.Is this big news? Teslas have been playing GTA for ages.

I do my very best to ignore everything to do with him etc but he has the most divorced Dad 'and she's taken the kids' energy I've ever seen.
So much for...
Said for years now and will say it again for those in the back:
He is incredibly thick.
This is enjoyable for someone who has been screaming into the abyss for a long time.

Good post! I hope he succeeds. But, his problem is that he wants to make Twitter a free speech platform but he also needs to make it a profitable business for it to be around long term.His buying of twitter will end up being viewed as beneficial for the world at some point in the future.
