One of the greatest inventors of all time who also intends to create good for humanity.  Someone, however, who possibly is of little consequence in the scheme of things has the audacity to call him an idiot. Says more about that individual than Elon Musk.[/quote]

what has Musk invented?

he started off rich and got richer in a system that is designed that way.

Sure he cleverly took over the right companies but he invented nothing..employees did.

Twitter though is sheer folly.

As [b]Stephen King[/b] who has nearly 7 million followers and sold multi million books basically said..[i]why would I pay for a verified blue tick when he Musk should be paying me for contributing to Twitter.[/i]

Justin Beiber with what..150 million followers rarely uses Twitter..but he uses Tik Tok regularly..it's where the young are.

Musk seems to imply people should pay to use a social forum (maybe JK  should make us pay :ohmy: ) where as other forums like YouTube [b]pay it's contributors [/b]because it encourages advertisers.

I  think Musk bought a pig in a poke and won't be able to change much at all...$44B god help us..remember[i] he was forced to buy it[/i] or forfeit a billion bucks. Some deal.

JK2006	He's clearly very odd (his alien "dance" moves) and has a totally weird father but I still have lots of time for him. However I totally disagree with him about MARS. As anybody reading my new novel will see - I think the future is closer to the sun, not further away. THOMAS LOVE PEACOCK LUV TOM - available from Amazon and all good booksellers.

My feeling is Musk has sort of tumbled into this..after all he spent months in court trying to get out of the deal..he does come across as impulsive as in his nasty "pedo guy' comments (and the Pelosi crap).. I mean the 'richest man' nastily defaming a hero who saved a bunch of kids..why? just mean. And I don't think those who lent him money. Saudis, banks want Twitter to fail and become a one sided political forum either left or right. All these internet forums are new ground..Facebook's price is now tumbling and MySpace was worth a fortune at times. The value of the information is not what people are saying and thinking - it is how they form their opinions, interact and influence others. It is behaviouralism. There is nothing else to compare (in scale) to the twitter database in this respect, and I wonder how useful this could be to AI projects. Might be totally barking up the wrong tree of course... Short term it seems Twitter usage is shooting up; could just be voyeurism at the moment. As you say, so hard to predict this sort of sector.

One theory mooted: he's pandering to China where he is a favored manufacturer and has opened up Tesla sales rooms and recently suggested Taiwan should become a sort of new Hong Kong to China and align themselves with the Mainland. With China's booming Middle Class perhaps they are his new Tesla customers. Would someone really burn $44B on such escapades? A thought. Musk's big thing is Artificial Intelligence. Twitter may well now be the largest database of human thoughts and interactions on planet earth. Perhaps he is not overly worried about developing it for revenue; the value is in the information....

The former seems to fit an emerging pattern of Musk treating people like dirt while the latter suggests that conspiracy theorists and possibly worse may now be allowed to flourish on Twitter. I have a Twitter account but never contribute but follow heaps of blue tick journalists , professors etc. In the past few days the most horrendous stuff has been popping up..vile antisemitism about Anne Frank, awful racial attacks on Blacks etc. Possibly because Musk has fired the moderation team. No wonder advertisers have fled..Coca Cola, VW , GM etc etc..numerous US ginormous corporations. Understandable..no company wants to spend a fortune advertising and suddenly appear near say Ye on an antisemitic rave & get a million dollars worth of bad publicity like Balenciaga who have become a laughing stock in the fashion world. These corporations may well support and donate to conservative politicians and parties but want to sell Coca Cola to old lefties as well.

I would be more supportive when Paul Pelosi comes out and his Nancy will admit their marriage is a sham.
