We need more Musks
 
Why?

Honestly I don’t give too much of a fuck, but for everything I’ve seen of this guy, he’s a man who doesn’t have but one face, and his mission is pretty damn legit.

I signed up for the mars thing years ago, I’d be suspect of any person in aerospace who didn’t.

He made his own money working with Peter Theil....that was the good.

Part of the Tesla gold and his other energy initiatives are subsidized by you and I.

I credit him as being a libertarian...that is a good thing.

In a world that has been anything but what is presented as face value you are soft not to be skeptical.

You can have my seat on the Mars ship.......Im hoping lots of Libs sign up and leave.
 
Um… ,splain, please… we may need to agree to disagree about that one… 😑

Musk and X.com decided to make Paypal (Peter Theil) the online bill pay network.

I know Paypal has its freedom problems but Peter Theil is another libertarian despite his anti gun stance which I dont think he is so much anti gun probably more he thinks from his seat some people shouldnt have guns and that group likely includes you and I.

That aside Theil endorsement of Trump was a very big deal in 2016.

Yeah.. I’ve read more than enough about Peter Theil to know I don’t trust anything or anyone he touches… Don’t give a rats a$$ what he says…
 
I don’t think Musk is the savior people think he is
I kind of agree. I’m holding out for judgement. He needs verified and trust is earned by actions. Does e owe me or anyone else anything? No. Does anyone care what I think? No. But this guy is not jumping on the Musk love train yet. I believe in a lot of respects, he belongs to the same class as all the elites and politicians. So he has an uphill battle to prove that he is somehow different than any of the others.

Honestly Musk is not our savior. I do think he’s a very intelligent man who can see he stands to lose in this great reset. He understands the underpinnings of our nation’s founding. He’s showing himself to be fierce in calling out bad actors. So far I like the moves he’s making as of late, time will tell final judgment.

Its a doomed strategy to have one billionaire save us from the other billionaires.

While I think there are a lot of worse things that can happen besides Musk taking over Twitter, we shouldn't be at the whims of billionaires and governments controlling our "town squares" and thus our discourse.

I like to think that Musk is going to do mostly good in this matter, this problem is above one man to fix. There needs to be some major reform, and a fresh new respect for the first amendment.
 
Yeah… same here… Free speech good, but, oh… btw… c’mon over here… I wanna install a chip in ur head…
Yeah he claims that's just for the quadriplegic types to help them function again but he gets money from DARPA so we'll see where that goes.

The guy has said on more than one occasion that he believes humans are going to have to merge with machines or face extinction because the ai is going to wipe us out. And that it's too late to do anything about the ai. Don't know about anybody else in here but I'm not real keen on the whole transcendence thing.

Also heard the other day that he's got ties to gislane maxwell. Heard it on a podcast, didn't research it myself, maybe the @theLBC can help us with that?

Don't forget about the cars and the internet he provides that can be turned off at the flip of a switch. He's a big supporter of the Ukraine thing at the moment. He hooked them up with starlink for free after Russia canned their internet.

Verdict is still out on the guy for me.

Peaceful people never picture violence committed on their peaceful selves……it only happens to other people.

Agreed, but Musk didn't grow up in the US, which is why he's not the typical apathetic Gen Xer, and why I don't believe that he's naive about the consequences of government monopolies on violence.

One of the things that must be remembered is that money alone doesn’t equal power. There are politicians and bureaucrats with much less money than him that can enact changes that cause his Twitter and other investments to go to near zero. Standing up to the very governments that give you money or regulate your industry can have serious consequences. This also includes pissing off other billionaires who have had a head start of 20 years in buying said politicians for their own purposes.

Twitter - FCC or Ministry of Truth violation, heavy fines and turned off in certain countries.

SpaceX and Starlink - no more .gov money, no NASA contracts, FAA audits

Tesla - EPA audits on the batteries, restrictions on imported materials, NTSB audits and findings

BoreHole - EPA violations

Neural Link - dies at the FDA.

If they really wanted to fuck up his shit they can. He knows this and it will limit how far he goes IMO.

But he came of age when race determined your monopoly on violence.

He is complex.

Bet a psychiatrist would like to research him.

Wonder what he thinks a cigar is.

'You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" Unless you are capable of great violence. If you are not capable of violence, You're not peaceful, You're harmless.'- Attributed to Stef Starkgaryen, however, I can only find the single quote and not other reference to the person. Regardless s/he's not wrong...
 
Well, Bill's been killing it lately with clear headed commentary on how foolish the left are, and making his guests defend their asinine positions.

So, IMHO, this isn't a bad thing.




Bill talked about this on rogan, he said hes the same liberal hes always been as can be seen by watching his old material, just the left has gone so far and so batshit crazy he seems more to the right.

I think this clearly illustrates just how far the radical left has gone. I have to think a lot of the democrat party truly share views more in line with Maher, but are afraid of being ostracized by the radicals pushing the agenda. Too bad they can’t find their own voice and return some form decency and morality to their party.

I would say more right of center then a liberal.

I wouldn't agree with all Musk's antics, but in a business sense, there is no denying his success. The guy has the Midas touch.

Bro, true old school liberals were shifted to the right as the left continues off the deep end.

There are a handful of people on this planet that I cannot comprehend as to how they are still alive. Soros is one of them.
That’s because those that pretend to be against him actually need him and are working with him. You know as well as I do that if some of these nations (that claim he is such a threat, including the US) wanted him gone then he’d be gone, simple as that. That should tell you all you need to know.
