Sind es 250.000 Opfer in UK?
Keine Ahnung!
Wenn jemand meint, es seien weniger, will ich hören: Es sind 30.000 Opfer und unsere Handlungen, damit das nie wieder geschieht, lauten: 1., 2., 3.!
„Die Zahl ist falsch und deshalb passiert nix.“ ist jedenfalls indiskutabel.

Meine Antwort auf eine Presseanfrage (folgt unten) des Deutschlandfunk: „Die journalistischen Mängel und die Voreingenommenheit in ihrer Anfrage gestatten mir eine Antwort in der Sache nicht.“. - Anfrage:

Sehr geehrter Herr Steinhöfel,

ich berichte heute im Deutschlandfunk-Medienmagazin kurz über den Fall. Könnten Sie mir dazu freundlicherweise eine Stellungnahme schicken, was Musk kritisiert und was Sie vom ZDF verlangen? Vielleicht mögen Sie mir das Schreiben auch im Wortlaut schicken. Bei X schreiben Sie auch, das ZDF lüge über Elon Musk. Eine Lüge setzt ja Intention voraus und schließt einen Fehler aus. Können Sie belegen, warum es sich um eine Lüge handeln soll? Zumal im folgenden Bericht korrekt formuliert wurde.

@HansMahncke During the lawsuit against them, we will find out exactly which cretin wrote this terrible lie

[Simon Betschinger @SBetschinger]

"Politiker, die mit unseren Steuern zu Millionären geworden sind, sind sauer auf einen Mann, der reich wurde, indem er Dinge gebaut hat, die die Menschen tatsächlich wollen. So absurd ist das.

Dieselbe Leute, die jahrelang gegen Fahrzeugemissionen protestiert haben, sind jetzt sauer auf den Unternehmer, der das Problem tatsächlich gelöst hat. So absurd ist das.

Politiker, die in ihrem ganzen Leben noch keinen einzigen Dollar an Steuereinnahmen generiert haben, sind sauer auf einen Mann, der Milliarden an Steuern gezahlt hat. So absurd ist das.

Aktivisten, die von sich behaupten, für die Arbeiter zu kämpfen, sind wütend darüber, dass ein Unternehmer Tausende seiner Angestellten – Schweißer, Ingenieure, Kantinenmitarbeiter – zu Millionären gemacht hat. So absurd ist das.

Politiker, die in ihrem Leben noch keinen einzigen Arbeitsplatz geschaffen haben, sind sauer auf einen Mann, der Hunderttausende von Menschen beschäftigt und ihre Renten finanziert. So absurd ist das.

Politiker, die in ihrem Leben noch nie irgendetwas geleitet haben, glauben ernsthaft, sie würden Geld besser zuteilen als der Mann, der Tesla und SpaceX aufgebaut hat. So absurd ist das."

Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job.

At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO.

He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air.

He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death.

His first child died at 10 weeks old.

His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad.

His second rocket exploded.

His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone.

Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown.

Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve.

He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him.

His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress.

The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world.

He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse.

He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs.

He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him.

He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years.

He is the richest man in the history of the world.

The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.

"KEINE Kumpelei!" hieß es gestern überall bei der CDU, als ein Foto von @UlrichSiegmund und Guido Heuer im Internet die Runde machte. Hier ist das Video. Dort scherzt Herr Heuer sogar noch über das "Altparteien-Mikrofon" welches nicht funktionieren würde. Ich finde, es war eine entspannte Stimmung 😂 wie seht ihr das?

[Australischer Austauschstudent @VceOfReason]

Was die meisten schon wieder vergessen haben:

2021 hat Elon Musk den Vereinten Nationen angeboten, für die Beendigung des Welthungers mit dem Verkauf eines Teils seiner Tesla-Aktien zu zahlen.

Die einzige Bedingung: Die Vereinten Nationen legen transparent offen, wie genau dieser Betrag den Welthunger beenden würde und wie die Mittel eingesetzt werden.

Natürlich haben die Vereinten Nationen das Angebot nicht angenommen. Sie hätten nämlich erklären müssen, wie es sein kann, dass seit den 1950er Jahren 2 BILLIONEN DOLLAR an „Entwicklungshilfen“ nach Afrika geflossen sind, sich aber in all den Jahren nichts zum Besseren entwickelt hat.

Das Problem ist nicht Elon Musk.
Das Problem sind korrupte Politiker, die dir sagen, dass Elon Musk das Problem wäre.

[Christian Keil @pronounced_kyle]

They did it.

SpaceX has now launched more satellites than the rest of humanity, combined, all time.

@robinalexander_ @ArminPetschner @UlrichSiegmund Zwei gewählte Politiker auf einem Podium, die augenscheinlich zivilisiert miteinander umgehen. Das Problem ist nicht das Bild, sondern die Reaktionen darauf, u.a. Von Ihnen Herr Alexander.

[Steinhoefel @Steinhoefel]

It is no question that @elonmusk is the genius of our time: Tesla revolutionized electric mobility, Starlink is building global internet infrastructure, X freed free speech from censorship, now SpaceX transformed spaceflight.

The SpaceX IPO with $75 billion in capital raised and a valuation of $2.1 trillion is a turning point for American space travel. Musk built a company that developed reusable rockets and radically lowered launch costs. That is technological breakthrough at the highest level. America had long been dependent on Russia for astronaut transport—SpaceX has ended that.

The economic substance is substantial. SpaceX employs thousands of people and gave them real wealth opportunities through stock options. The IPO made 4,400 current and former employees millionaires. That is wealth generation at scale. Workers benefit from their own performance.

Starlink supports Ukraine against Russia and enables dissidents under dictatorships to communicate. Such systems only emerge through entrepreneurship with strong financial incentives. Without the prospect of massive gains, nobody takes these risks. Musk's wealth is the result of genuine value creation—four revolutionary industries simultaneously.

[Simon Betschinger @SBetschinger]

ESA vs SpaceX

Elon Musk gründete SpaceX im Mai 2002. Sein privates Startkapital betrug etwa 100 Millionen US-Dollar. Zum Börsengang wird die Firma mit etwa 1,75 Billionen USD bewertet. Elon Musk hat sein Kapital um den Faktor 17.500 vervielfacht.

Die Europäische Weltraumorganisation (ESA) wurde seit dem Jahr 2000 von Steuerzahlern mit etwa 130 Mrd. € finanziert. Es wurden keine bedeutsamen Werte erschaffen. Die Raketentechnologie gilt als veraltet und überteuert.

Warum so viele Deutsche auf staatliche Strukturen schwören, ist mir ein Rätsel.

[Noosheen Hashemi @HashemiNoosheen]

Elon's heroes told him SpaceX would fail.

He fought back tears as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin publicly opposed commercial spaceflight.

Today, SpaceX is going public in the largest IPO in history.

Let that be a lesson to anyone pursuing a dream others cannot yet see: Keep building. 🇺🇸

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Next time you think of giving up, remember this photo of Elon in 2008.

[Public Value Didi 📯 🏳️‍🌈 🇺🇦 💉🇪🇺 @LiberalMut]

Mit dem Vermögen von Musk könnte man 2 Sondervermögen gegenfinanzieren, die man dann in 2 Jahren sinnlos verplempern könnte.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
