boot. Joining the board would have limited his ownership. For some reason, that doesn't apply to Vanguard.

They split their ownership between several corporations and then those corporations heavily invest in each other. It’s a tangled web that leads back to just a few oligarchs.

So...fascinating. For all that we like to say: "Big Tech controls free speech", actually, it's "Wall Street controls free speech." Because when I pulled up the top investors in Twitter, here's what came back...like, wow, man. Vanguard, Morgan-Stanley, BlackRock, and State Street Corp. Who between them have something like almost $30 trillion in combined assets.
The world is only worth $418 trillion, give or take. Those four companies alone control something like 8% of that.
Oh, and the USA is only worth $126 trillion total...so those four have a quarter of that.
And, oh yeah, until Elon came along, they owned Twitter.

Musk is still small fry compared to those guys.
Will they really let a loose cannon like Musk - who assuredly upsets applecarts - bully them off the pile there with Twitter?
One thing's for durn sure: I don't think anyone can safely assume they know what Musk is up to in regards to Twitter, other than He Has A Plan, And He Hasn't Told Any Of Us What It Really Is.
The dude plays about ten moves ahead, most of the time. And when I hear him saying things in a blasé tone of voice like "I can unlock Twitter's full potential", what that means to me is, his Sees-The-Future-Brain has seen an angle the rest of us hasn't, and it usually has something to do with dovetailing future techs. Given that he's big into learning AI, I've got some inkling of what that could be, too.
If they let Musk do what Musk wants to do here, I strongly suspect he's going to pants them.

The whole brain chip implant thing is a hard no for me bro.
But he's ####### brilliant. He's a weirdo. He seems to have a lot of interesting takes that don't align with his stature. I'd recommend giving his visits on Rogan a listen - pretty cool to hear him just kick it for a few hours.
He's a billionaire - near the top of the food chain. And yet he's still like a pro ball player getting paid by the owner.
This could be an interesting glitch in the simulation. Some guys buy boats and move to Florida, this guy seems to be lining up against the establishment in an Oklahoma drill and asking em to snap the #### ball.

Is there really a "non-propulsive" way to land on the moon?
I mean, a parachute doesn't seem like it would work too well.

Yes, they don't use propulsive landing on Mars
Apr 14, 2022, 4:40 PM

because of dust contamination. Perseverance, the latest mars rover, dropped on a cable. They have also done bouncy ball landings. I think there has probably been propulsive landings before.
Certainly booster landings are good for most launches. The F9 has been a really good rocket. With booster landings you lose a lot for high energy missions. If takes fuel to land which takes away from the mission. How much savings is there? Hard to say. Landing and refurbishing is expensive too and they currently take more than a month to refurbish when the goal was a day. Maybe they will get there. Clearly there are cost savings. There is a lot of cost savings from hiring engineers right out of college and making them work crazy hours too.

This guy thinks we landed a rocket/shuttle onto the moon with less tech than what is in our phone.
Yeah, we don’t go back because we did it….60 years ago. No need to try and do it again. Lol

Dude's just trolling to pump up the stock price of shares he owns. He'll sell it all at the peak and make another trillion dollars.
