Musk's Twitter Purchase Fails After 138,000 Board Votes Found Overnight

That was funny.

LOTS of analysts say it's over valued. Try this thing called Google sometime. It's quite easy.

Tesla Is Still Fundamentally Overvalued

Lmao. More from the “Tesla is overvalued compared Ford & GM” mouth breathers….

He absolutely is ... but he has also embraced some pretty wild theories. That is a cause for concern.

Such as?

 

[C-south]

An opinion that is objectively false is not an opinion but a lie.
Opinions are fine.

So you’re a liar.

There’s a difference between an opinion and an assertion.

I don’t understand why this isn’t the first solution for everyone.

See "Cancel Culture" thread.

LOL at these buffoons:

 

[85SugarVol]

I fundamentally disagree with his premise that platforms which allow billions of people to express themselves are a threat to democracy:

"In a speech about disinformation at Stanford University on Thursday, the former president said the modern internet landscape was "one of the biggest reasons for democracy's weakening" and was "turbocharging some of humanity's worst impulses."
"Not all these effects are intentional or even avoidable, they're simply the consequence of billions of humans suddenly plugged into an instant 24/7 global information stream," Obama said."

It's almost moronic to argue that allowing people to express themselves freely is a threat to democracy and what helps democracy is the government controlling individual expression.

Allowing free people to speak out and express themselves? I don’t know. Seems risky.

Which theories in particular?

 

[NurseGoodVol]

There have always been regulations about what is on radio and television.

hr 1581 signed by Obama officially established a ministry of truth in America. Obama ushered in fact checkers often used to counter a narrative that is opposing what the federal governments stance are. He also had his own website for reporting anti Obama sentiments both on public media and private media. He used the info webs for his personal get even agenda and now he thinks it’s bad? He’s a hypocrite.

Before I start posting (NUMEROUS!) links in response to your request for evidence, I would first like to get one answer from you in the abstract :

QUESTION :

Would you consider a person to be crazy if they honestly believe that the lives of all creatures great and small, past and present, to be nothing but a computer simulation?

If he ultimately sells for less than he bought it for, would that really be a loss? Tax breaks, publicity, gains in other investments? Kind of like Gates' short position on Tesla, these guys are playing a totally different game.

"honestly believe" do you really mean that or do you mean entertain the possibility

I will get to that in a minute ... I've asked a question in post #1,316 of this thread that I want answered first.

 

[luthervol]

perhaps some can.

Let's take your "some are of the opinion Trump is still President". We hear frequently people saying "He's not MY President". Are they right or wrong? It entirely depends on what they mean by "MY". One on hand if they are a citizen of the US then the current POTUS is their POTUS. On the other hand if by "MY" they mean does the POTUS enjoy their support and match their values then indeed they are not that person's POTUS. Likewise, a true Trump supporter may believe that Trump is the rightful POTUS and thus in their view of what being the POTUS means they could be correct depending on the context of their comments.

I understand all of that.
Like pretty much everything else, it is not black and white - there are plenty of shades of gray.
If someone is promoting a known lie that is harmful to individuals within a society, it is perfectly reasonable for society to limit the person's ability to spread those lies.

[luthervol]

So you’re a liar.

Isn't everyone?
That's always been my claim.
