  • Nah, he's still greatness personified.

    He just has to push the limits beyond the quantifiable boundaries of what mere mortals seem extreme.

    That's a weird definition of a up-himself twerp who's rapidly losing the plot, but if you say so.
  • I really don't think he has changed, to me he is a bit like Boris that initially he is amusing but familiarity breeds contempt.

    And still sliding. I do wonder if he wants to prove how rich he is by seeing how much value he can throw away, like Bullingdon Boys burning £5 notes in front of poor people.

    This is Musk we are taking about.
    He'll buy his own discounted shares, then tweet and the price will rise.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Read a comment elsewhere that soon, given the muskrat's ongoing performances, driving around in a Tesla will be the same as poncing around wearing a big red MAGA hat.

    Has he had some kind of breakdown?
  • If Earth gets wiped out in whatever way, isn't the second statement completely valid if humanity hasn't made the leap into space/universe?

    The first statement needs clarification for me, does he mean there is so much growing political correctness, objection to everything, nothing gets done/evolves?
  • I'll take my chances here rather than somewhere that he's in charge of my oxygen supply thanks.

    What, for say forty years tops? A grain of sand relative to humanities potential expansion.

    Personally I think it's futile anyway, AI will takeover, far easier to protect, replicate and expand. That's not humanity.

    How does the bloke sleep with all the complicated high pressured $h1t in his mind? Knowing that, why the hell buy it? It wasn't for the money and he knew he'd be derided for it.

    He must regard it as important to humanities proggression in terms of communication.

    I mean, people on here who are agnostic towards Musk still quote twitter.

    Because he’s an egotistical d1ck with more money than he can spend who opened his mouth before engaging his brain then couldn’t back out of it when he tried.

    That doesn't make sense to me. He knew it would be a blow to his ego/stature (6ft 1.5").
  • He had to be forced into buying it, and now he's stopped paying rent.

    I suspect you're going to have to find a way for it to make sense, other than thinking he's playing 4-D chess. Occam's Razor, and all that.

    We ain't going to colonise Mars in any great numbers ffs. It's inhospitable.
    To relieve any pressure on earth significantly, would probably exhaust resources here and I doubt humans could cope with such an alien environment both physically and psychologically anyway.
    Most self sustaining biospheres that they have tried collapse within a very short period of time because life on earth is a very complex thing, requiring multiple factors and which has evolved over billions of years.

    It would be far better if those millions were spent on decreasing inequality, improving education, tackling climate problems (caused by us and what - transferred to another planet?!), improving standards of living etc as these things reduce population growth and the want to migrate somewhere else.

    Any thoughts of practical colonisation (on a planet in our solar system) is simply egomaniac pie in the sky talk.

    Give it 500 years of technological advances maybe and by that time Musk will be long dead (and most of the human race probably).

    So far AI seems to be limited to very specific tasks. It's a very very long way from passing a Turing test.

    Why does it have to make sense? Intelligent people do stupid, illogical things all the time. Newton believed in alchemy. Galton believed in eugenics.

    No. Humans are merely batteries in that documentary. That's the cover story. 😉

    Life on Mars? That's the masterplan? Fück up this planet then fück up another? Brilliant!
