I don't think Elon will be able to redeem himself. He should have stuck with rockets and EVs, but his god complex got the best of him.
History will judge hard on him despite his achievements a decade ago.

What happens to us when we're cut off from the world?
The SOLIS100 study has officially begun in Germany to study the effects of isolation on humans: https://t.co/3TsCY8Jgfq
@ronrule@SeanR_1@Microinteracti1 If that is indeed your retort, we can all sleep safely here. You speak in fiction, and prove you don't understand how (comfortable) life in Europe actually is.
Donald Trump: βNATO is nothing without America.β
Meloni: βPerfect. Then Europe will close the U.S. bases, tear up the sweetheart trade deals, and, just to make the message land, boycott McDonaldβs too.β
That is the blunt reality: if Washington wants to talk like protection is a one way favor, Europe can answer like a partner with leverage, not a dependent begging for permission.
And honestly, that tone is long overdue. When someone says βyou are nothing without me,β the correct reply is not gratitude. It is boundaries.
@Acyn Americans have a hard time understanding that the American dream looks like an American nightmare to us very often. We're very happy with our healthcare, safety and public services.
This was a really good speech, but the free world will need to stand up together against the United States - if it cares about its former friend and its own security.
For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carneyβs outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.
Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

Europe should stop thinking we can negotiate with the USA and take the pain of confronting the United States. I uploaded this two days ago but would obviously add that this is just a small part in what Europe needs to do now to confront Trump's imperialism.

I'm seeing 50 foreigners and supposedly 140 locals are locked up in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) after testing positive on drugs - after a raid on a night club call The Lighthouse, which had a full house because it was closing down after the last party on Saturday. Quite remarkable.
I'm hearing they're sleeping on the floor and embassies have not been informed yet. #HoChiMinhCity https://t.co/irY69FkOKB
@KappaCheatma@lugubrious_lad@wanyeburkett I thought the US was pro business. Why not incentivice green card holders to start a business? You have to stay in the country for years to be eligible.
