Got it. Jaw dropping amount of ignorance seems excessive…. But few Musk haters will look past the headline. I feel like throwing out a number that large and then not also making the note that this is for the "infinite horizon" is a pretty big omission. Since, you know, that number is through the end of time. Also, I'm not sure why you mention Medicare since the article was about social security. But, you are correct all social spending programs will show a deficit amount if you stretch the timeline out. --Edit-- I want to say this. I'm not a Musk "hater". I think he has done some amazing things with pushing EV tech to the forefront as well as his SpaceX program. But, to ignore some of the stuff he does and says is crazy. He's a person, I think, and that makes it okay for him to be bat **** crazy and a genius at the same time.

Or even if you don’t? But I’m not arguing against social security or Medicare. You have go spend money to have nice things, and money spent on one thing might save you money on another. I’m more of the mind that deficit spending doesn’t matter as long as you are spending on good things.

TradeTheBeal! Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Remember how cults work…the cult leader has to constantly push the envelope and make the cult members defend ever more indefensible things. Thus further alienating the members from mainstream society and further embedding them within the cult.

China Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Tesla CEO Musk accuses SEC of calculated effort to ‘chill’ his right to free speech Tesla CEO Elon Musk accused the Securities and Exchange Commission of harassment in a calculated effort to “chill” his right to free speech in its oversight of his communications with shareholders as part of a 2018 agreement that settled civil securities charges against the billionaire. Musk and Tesla thought settling the charges would end the agency’s “harassment” of Musk and allow the court, not the agency to monitor his compliance, Musk’s lawyer wrote in a new court filing Thursday. “But the SEC has broken its promises,” he wrote, alleging that the agency has been “weaponizing the consent decree by using it to try to muzzle and harass Mr. Musk and Tesla.” The agency also hasn’t yet distributed to shareholders the $40 million it fined Musk and the company as part of the 2018 settlement, according to the filing, which seeks a hearing on the matter. “The SEC seems to be targeting Mr. Musk and Tesla for unrelenting investigation largely because Mr. Musk remains an outspoken critic of the government,” Alex Spiro, a lawyer for Musk and Tesla, said in the new filing, seeking to bring the agency’s 2018 securities case against him to a close. “The SEC’s outsized efforts seem calculated to chill his exercise of First Amendment rights rather than to enforce generally applicable laws in evenhanded fashion.” The letter comes more than a week after Tesla disclosed that the SEC issued a new subpoena to the automaker in November 2021. The financial regulator is trying to determine whether Musk and Tesla complied with a revised settlement agreement that the SEC struck with them in 2019. According to Tesla’s filing, the agency is seeking information on the company’s “governance processes around compliance with the SEC settlement, as amended.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Elon Musk’s Boring Company submit proposal for new 6-mile long Loop tunnel project with Tesla vehicles in Miami Elon Musk’s Boring Company has submitted a proposal for a new 6-mile long Loop tunnel project in Miami. If approved, it would be the second of such full-scale commercial deployment of transportation system. A Boring Company Loop system consists of tunnels in which Tesla electric vehicles travel at high speeds between stations to transport people within a city. The first deployment has been the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop, which consists a 1.5-mile long tunnel with three stops at the city’s large convention center. Recently, Las Vegas approved an expansion of the Loop to connect the entire strip and the airport. The Boring Company already completed the first part of the expansion to the first casino. Once completed, it will become the first Loop to cover an entire city center. Now, the Boring Company is already working on its next Loop project and it’s in Miami. The city has revealed talks with the company last year, but they have moved forward with an official proposal. The cost of the project is estimated to be between $185 million and $220 million, which is a fraction of the cost of any other similar transportation system, like a subway.

It was a 10 minute video just to say that the Biden administration is pro-union and Tesla is anti-union and that's what it's all about. He could have made a much shorter video, but because of the way YouTube pays its content creators, having a 10 minute video brings in more money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CousinsCowgirl84 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) I wonder why Ukraine didn’t ask for 5g towers @mistertim 🤔 According to you those would be much more useful in a military conflict. because 5g towers would go the way of that TV tower. woops.

Yeah there was a bunch of technical jargon in there. Tensorflow is a group of programming libraries that was developed by Google, mostly for writing neural network and machine learning applications. The libraries can be used by a bunch of different languages, but Python is a pretty common one. Source code is just the human readable text that programmers write which is then usually compiled into some form of executable program (depending on the language). Basically I was saying that her posts in this thread are so rote and predictable that it would be easy to write a pretty straightforward program using those tools that would be able to realistically imitate what she says in here in response to stuff posted about Musk. However, all of what I say here should be taken with a grain of salt, because I am just a glorified IT bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that Ukraine is using Starlink in this conflict is hilarious. You saw Ukraine's response, right? They were like "uh, thanks". Ukraine will already have their own ways to communicate locally for military applications and coordination. They'd have little to no use for Starlink unless they somehow decided to use it as a backup for unsecured access to the internet so their soldiers can check Facebook or something. Protip: the military doesn't go over the internet for their secure communications during battle. They DO use TCP/IP in some cases nowadays, but those are hardened standalone networks. And yes, that would include private sliced 5G in the near future. WHY THE WORLD’S MILITARIES ARE EMBRACING 5G You seriously don't know anything about this stuff and should stop trying to pretend you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
