Tesco just arrived with the Christmas delivery. The driver handed me a bag and said ‘There’s a couple of substitutions, here’s your sprig of rosemary and haddock’
I said to him ‘This isn’t the thyme or the plaice’.
@RichardBurgon CAGR to double wealth over that period: 4.5%
UK inflation average over that period: 2.97%
Relative growth over inflation CAGR: 1.48%
Meaning: those billionaires have invested badly!
Gwynn Shotwell is COO of SpaceX, not chief engineer or CEO. She has said herself she doesn’t get involved in engineering design meetings, as Elon does those.
I don’t know what argument you’re trying to make though. You seem to be critical of him, his actions or inactions, his involvement in his 5 successful multibillion / trillion $ companies. I guess he can do no right in your eyes? Never mind. I don’t think anyone cares about your opinion.
@Sarah1229w It seems exceedingly fair and inclusive that any trans person (whether born male or female) can participate in the male category. Nobody is against that, aside from TRAs.
Speaking for myself, I abhor the idea of fame. But for those who become famous, there are countless examples where the media will disparage, slur, and attempt their downfall… sometimes with success. Why? Jealousy? Clicks? I say celebrate others successes… good on them for achieving their goals.
Though in Elon’s case, his drive isn’t fame, or fortune (despite what we’re told in media). It’s the success of humanity. Watch his interviews, read his biography, and that is clear.
Now I don’t even know what you’re trying to say.
You’re aware he runs five companies and not always reading Sky and BBC news, right?
His response was the next day.
Of course he was angry! If it were your name on the headline, you’d be angry too (and maybe a little surprised) 🤣
@davidjamesdj@TeslaJigsaw@BBCNews What, you mean like this?
News outlets don’t want to get sued, so they will be economical with the truth. But the headline? Absolutely intentional smearing.
Shame on Sky News for this utterly misleading headline. Anyone pushing this false narrative deserves complete contempt.
Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED, yet they name me even before Prince Andrew, who did visit.
@davidjamesdj@TeslaJigsaw@BBCNews The point is, their headline lead with Elon’s name…. In front of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor & Epstein. So it was literally associating Elon with those two. So for those who just read the headline - what impression do you think that left them with?
The problem is, Nick, that on those three contentious topics alone, which as you highlighted face particular scrutiny right now, the beeb has been found to be inept / error-prone / biased (take your pick).
How many mistakes must be made before it’s seen as less incompetence, more a fundamental corruption?
Or must we keep forgiving the organisation of its ineptitude forever?
@neilcybart@thejefflutz I’m sorry I misunderstood you.
As I said, respected you. I shouldn’t have. I apologise.
Well done for *winning another debate*!!
I have no doubt what you are now.
👏👏👏
I’m so glad you’ve been so amused.
Though you appear to have an issue with reading what I originally said.
I wasn’t astounded by your rejection to debate, but the rudeness by which you rejected it.
As I say, you used to be one of the most polite people that I followed. No longer it appears.
Goodbye Neil Cybart.
@neilcybart@thejefflutz Again, wow.
Is this how you debate now? Fabricating what you believe is my point of view?
I was simply astounded by your insults thrown toward Jeff.
What has happened to you? You used to be a rational voice of *polite* reason.
