Unmasking Elon Musk

[sugilite:Me]

Isn't he always telling us he is retired? He should have some seriously sweet soft cheeks from sitting around doing nothing all day?

[Laava]

No, he spelt retarded wrongly.

It is reported that Elon's rehash of the Twitter blue tick system has resulted in a net gain of twenty eight sales. That's right 28 total world wide.

Musk also stated that the Space X launch site was fine. It doesn't look fine.

OK, this is actually quite funny

Well played Elon, well played....

He claims he's nearly breaking even after sacking 6500 out of 8000 staff....
He claimed the controversial layoffs were not easy and said he did not speak to everyone in person.


Last week, Twitter suffered a bug that prevented thousands of users from accessing links, its sixth major outage since the beginning of the year, according to internet watchdog group NetBlocks.

plus now hes getting rid of blue ticks....

Musk also stated that the Space X launch site was fine. It doesn't look fine.

One of the proper space channels had a good breakdown on that with slow motion shots of very large (eg car size) lumps of concrete landing a long distance away in sea.
He states in an earlier interview that he really should build a flame divertor trench but hopes to get away without it. This is damning of his so called genius given the complete public knowledge of this through nasa and other programs along with water deluge systems.

And he dreams that this will land vertically on mars and takeoff again... houston we have a problem...

Lends further credence that Musk is just a front for perhaps military spending and testing new ICBM rocket motors perhaps??? Cause if you were on some sort of budget and all you wanted to test is the engines...

Digging up what’s left of that concrete crater and building proper foundation again won’t be cheap

Space X does get massive funding from all over the place, certainly the US gummint. Directly from military budgets. who knows?

Having Elon take any flack is certainly better and probably cheaper than a pure gummint initiative and all the responsibility that entails. Far less transparent, too, which is handy.

3 of the 33 engines failed before lift off. Maybe that had something to do with the damage?

Another 2 shut down during the flight.

I think they’ve only got permission for a few launches a year at the current site, which wouldn’t work with the long term vision.

So they probably didn’t want to spend too much on it (there’s already another one under construction complete with tower at Cape Canavaral).

However having seen more close-up pics of the damage today…it’s a lot. One of the commentators was doubting they’ll be able to launch again there this year. There are a lot of holes in things.

Given how much debris was flying around, the rocket itself must be pretty robust to have flown for as long it did.

My suggestion - use the same glass being used in the cyber truck to make the next pad, it seems pretty tough. Thank me later Elon.

[Laava]

This is definately a consideration…

Musk made a massive botch up of his blue tick scheme. It seems he may also have laid himself open to legal action. The US has laws against fraudulent celebrity endorsements but that is what he did to thousands of celebrities. Alive and dead.

There were 420,000 Twitter accounts with legacy blue check marks. Only 19,497 signed up for Musk's new check mark. Musk then gave some to three people, two of whom declined his offer. The mark morphed from an anti-theft device to a mark of shame. Panic set in at Twitter HQ and Musk's solution was to give a blue check to every account with over a million followers with a statement on each profile page that the user had paid for the checkmark. Untrue and illegal.

What a genius.

Great breakdown of the empty promises
