  1. You definitely have been paying no attention to this story: Elon Musk has pulled more than 50 Tesla employees into his Twitter takeover New Twitter owner Elon Musk has pulled more than 50 of his trusted Tesla employees, mostly software engineers from the Autopilot team, into his Twitter takeover, CNBC has learned. Musk, who is CEO of automaker Tesla and reusable rocket maker SpaceX, completed the $44 billion acquisition of Twitter on Oct. 28 and made his mark there immediately... According to internal records viewed by CNBC, employees from Musk’s other companies are now authorized to work at Twitter, including more than 50 from Tesla, two from the Boring Company (which is building underground tunnels) and one from Neuralink (which is developing a brain-computer interface). https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/31/elon-musk-has-pulled-more-than-50-tesla-engineers-into-twitter.html Musk’s Shift of 50 Tesla Engineers to Twitter May Have Serious Legal Repercussions Elon Musk Revamps Twitter With Help From Tesla Staff Twitter’s new owner often reaches across his business empire to get things done Elon Musk has leveraged his diverse business empire in his first week owning Twitter Inc., blurring the line between the newly private social-media company and Tesla Inc., TSLA -6.27%decrease; red down pointing triangle the electric-car maker he also runs. Tesla engineers were among the first outsiders to begin working on reshaping Twitter after Mr. Musk completed his $44 billion takeover a week ago, part of at least dozens of people added to an internal company directory, according to documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal. https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-revamps-twitter-with-help-from-tesla-staff-11667510550
  2. You mean links that show he's using Tesla engineers at Twitter? Links that show he's been defended by fanboys on the grounds that he was just using his buyout offer to expose twitter?
  3. You should have taken that bit of advice before you made your post.
  4. Just another in a long line of dubious explanations of Musk's conduct. I remember when his fanboys were claiming he was playing 4 dimensional chess when he made the offer to buy Twitter. And that it was really his way of exposing the bot problem there. And that he would never have to go through with it because of the false claims made by Twitter. As it turned out, despite his frantic attempts to get out of the deal, Musk had to pay the full price he offered. Twitter didn't back down one bit. Not only that, but he's actually stealing from Tesla by taking its software engineers and using them at Twitter. Tesla is a public company. Clearly he's hurting it and its other shareholders in order to bail himself out.
  5. There is no evidence at all that any other human species apart from homo sapiens ever made it to Australia.
  6. As I remarked elsewhere, I slightly edited a Brazilian saying to read Fusion is the power source of the future and always will be. There's really no need. There are plenty of studies that show how smart grids powered by renewables and storage will make fossil fuels obsolete without the aid of nuclear power.
  7. Yes I concede that. But it was you who called her "angry". And that reflexive coupling you made is very revealing. Also, it's odd that you called her an "angry black lesbian" but didn't even mention that she was a basketball player. As though her celebrity as a professional athlete was irrelevant to the case.
  8. You note that the case against members of the Tory government is not yet proven, but don't seem to pay attention to that consideration in the case of the EU MEPs.
  9. Anybody who can't distinguish booing from cheering needs to get their hearing checked.
  10. And, of course, Chappelle's comment about the booing shows it's false that 90% were cheering Musk according to himself.
  11. To character her relevantly, all you had to do was call her a basket player. That would have made the point. What relevance does her race or her sexual orientation have to do with any of this? And the capper is that you didn't just call her a black lesbian, but an angry black lesbian. Coupling "angry" and "black" together is a hallmark of racists. Because of her stance on a political issue she's "angry"? Really?
  12. You claim people had an irrational hatred for Trump, and when reasons are invoked why it isn't irrational, you claim that's a distraction from the issue. The issue that you raised. Fuzzy thinking much?
  13. So Brittany Griner is angry? And it's relevant that she's black and a lesbian? Thanks for sharing with us your reflexive bigotry.
  14. Making stuff up much? Renewable power’s growth is being turbocharged as countries seek to strengthen energy security The global energy crisis is driving a sharp acceleration in installations of renewable power, with total capacity growth worldwide set to almost double in the next five years, overtaking coal as the largest source of electricity generation along the way and helping keep alive the possibility of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, the IEA says in a new report. This massive expected increase is 30% higher than the amount of growth that was forecast just a year ago, highlighting how quickly governments have thrown additional policy weight behind renewables. The report finds that renewables are set to account for over 90% of global electricity expansion over the next five years, overtaking coal to become the largest source of global electricity by early 2025. https://www.iea.org/news/renewable-power-s-growth-is-being-turbocharged-as-countries-seek-to-strengthen-energy-security
  15. To slightly alter a joke that Brazilians tell about their country... Fusion is the power source of the future and always will be.
  16. He is acknowledging that Trump was right to propose building a wall across the entire US border with Mexico? Really?
  17. A very compelling reason to hasten the transition to renewables.
  18. The issue isn't whether Musk should or shouldn't have appeared on the stage. The issue is censorship which is something Musk eagerly engages in when he's the target.
  19. In Marxism, control of the means of production is in the hands of the workers. Who are these Marxists criticizing the Founding Fathers? Are there a significant number of Marxists in the USA. Can you name one Senator or one house member who is a Marxist. Any leading political figures? Your automatic recourse to accusing those you disagree with of being Marxists is just another said proof of Pavlov's theory of conditioned reflexes.
  20. Really? Biden wants to put a wall along the entire US border with Mexico? Got evidence for that?
  21. Bad pedant! Homo sapiens are not the only species categorized as human. Homo erectus, our ancient ancestor The extinct ancient human Homo erectus is a species of firsts. It was the first of our relatives to have human-like body proportions, with shorter arms and longer legs relative to its torso. It was also the first known hominin to migrate out of Africa, and possibly the first to cook food. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/homo-erectus-our-ancient-ancestor.html#:~:text=The extinct ancient human Homo,the first to cook food. On the other hand, there is no evidence that Australia was ever inhabited by humans other than homo sapiens. And all the genetic evidence points to the aboriginal population as descending from one human incursion into Australia.
  22. More evidence of Musk's dedication to transparency: Leaked email shows Musk threatened to sue Twitter employees who leak to media A leaked email sent by Elon Musk to Twitter staff shows that he threatened to sue employees who leak confidential information to the media. Musk's emails and other internal communications have repeatedly been leaked to media outlets since he bought the company in late October. The leaked email about leaks said Twitter will aggressively enforce non-disclosure agreements going forward. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/12/leaked-email-shows-musk-threatened-to-sue-twitter-employees-who-leak-to-media/
