You forgot to add, "Signed, Donald Trump".

This is from X.  Who knew Musk had two left feet?

Another Musk failure.

 

A Spacex Starlink rocket launched Thursday lost contact and crashed into the sea just minutes into the flight.

Because the NBN and Telstra connectivity is so bad up my way, lots of people, especially out of town, have gone to Starlink. My sister joined up recently and is very pleased that now she can get on with her volunteer work much more efficiently. I'm working off a Telstra 4G dongle, which work well. My place must be in good line-of-sight to the transmitter.

Elon discovers another place millions of government dollars are being wasted.

I have been meaning to write.. suely there is some waste in the $22bn annual contracts to SpaceX?

Not one cent that has gone into Musk's pocket has been wasted.

Very clever... from a Musk perspective, of course.. Do you work for DOGE? 😉

Here's an interesting insight into Elon.

I would be wary of the above 2.. musks father is known to have had a mine, and invested in his companies. The other about Carlos Slim has legs but a story like that would make it into the FT, and I haven't seen it yet

Hope it's true.  His actions need consequences and hitting his hip pocket as much as possible will be what causes him pain.

For his role in funding the orange clown, getting him elected then his treasonous activities since with that dog of a DOGE, he should end up penniless.

The minor news reports are saying the news about Carlos Slim cancelling the Starlink deal are in the Mexico Daily Post - but I can find nothing on the MDP site to back that up, so I'd have to reckon it was a fine piece of disinformation, and patently untrue.

First, did Musk insinuate that Carlos Slim had links to a crominal gang. Secondly, billionaires wil not upend their supply contacts on emotion - that is why they are billionaires - unless it was grossly offensive. Billionaires are also people of vast resources, and may use them to get personally even, in that situation. He would unlikely use Chinese providers, as they are distrusted with the whole comms thing. Secondly, if he can't get a better deal and save money, which his team will always be looking at anyway, he won't move. Why would he want to pay more, or have the upheaval, or lesser service for the same?

 

I have met one billionaire not too long ago.. they are a very different breed to you and me.

There's nothing fishy about TESLA's sales success in Canada.
