    He's been pretty pro-Russia after he started being under the influence of the Far Right

    $44B? With Tesla he lost 25% of $500B in market value this year as Tesla stock plummeted. That $125B loss.

    Get unwoke and go broke. Lol

    Musk is capable of managing and recognizing engineering talent. That is not something everyone can do. Tesla has advanced the transition to electric vehicles by maybe a decade. Spacex has also revolutionized launch systems with Reusability bringing the cost of launching way down and if he gets his starship to work it may be the start of making us a multi planetary species.

    He also is a bit kookie. He tweets and opines on things he knows little about. His faith in crypto is borderline stupid. Neuralink may be ahead of his time but this may be another place he revolutionizes another industry.

    I skimmed an article yesterday about valuing spacex at 170 billion. I think his bad investment in twitter he will survive.

    According to the guy with the account, Elon is likely to argue that he's suspended the account because it utilizes a bot. Still interesting in terms of the free speech arguments.

    Jet-tracking teen lashes out at Elon Musk for Twitter suspension

    The Florida college freshman who operated a Twitter account that monitored Elon Musk’s private jet flights blasted the tech mogul as a “full-on hypocrite” after learning the account had been suspended.


    Jack Sweeney was alerted to the suspension of the @Elonjet account by The Post when reached early Wednesday morning.


    “This is insane,” 19-year-old Sweeney told The Post. “My phone’s going f–king nuts.”


    Musk, who pledged to allow the @Elonjet Twitter handle to continue operating after he acquired the social media site in late October, has apparently reversed himself.

    Literally "outside the box" thinking, in this case the box being a physical building. We mere mortals do not see as they do

    Just saw this. Free Speech Absolutist ... LOL. It looks very bad because Musk already made it known he was happy with the account, but all the account was really doing is relaying public information.

    I see the worlds second biggest snowflake has decided to sue the poor college kid who tracks his jet.

    It’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off.

    LOL.

    if I recall correctly the kid offered to shutter the site a while ago in exchange for a Tesla and 50k to which he said NYET!

    A true sooper jenius

    If one happens, I expect the fact that he took employees from the company to go look at Twitter code during their work hours to be Exhibit 1.
