Big brain stuff.
 
Is twitter worth 70 % of what he paid for it lads?

That seems to be the consensus on the first Google page that comes up when I ask that question, but maybe it's a left wing plot?
He certainly got the operating costs of the business down dramatically but the quality of the product and thus the revenue it is able to generate i’d expect is way down.

He bought it for 44 Billion like.

Madness.
 
Musk has overseen the biggest quantum leap in rocket launches since the 1960s...he's already brought down the cost of cargo launches by a factor of ten and this new technology promises to do the same in the second half of this decade.

But yeah the two lads going on about a few stupid Tweets really is what needs to be focused on.

Wewygi.

It's more than a factor of ten.


I am very well aware of the impact of SpaceX on the space industry, which, when combined with the development of cubesats, standardised comms like 5G NTN and the plummeting cost of phased array antennas, is genuinely a communications revolution. While the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen2 collaboration with Iridium may have sunk, and the Apple capabilities are seriously limited, the likes of Starlink, AST and Astrocast are doing some good work on direct to device satellite comms and the satellite IoT market is massively expanding as getting a network into space is orders of magnitude cheaper than it was even 20 years ago.
It will be a default on non-budget phones in the next couple of years and all cars by 2030.

That's primarily (albeit not exclusively), driven by cost reductions brought about by SpaceX.


And yet, Musk is still an idiot when it comes to politics.

Those tweets are pretty fucking dangerous coming from someone with so much influence don't you think?

I mean, if Mike from down the road told you those things I'm fairly sure you'd back away slowly and roll your eyes as soon as your back was turned , no?

But Elon is so intelligent he must be right?

I'm an idiot and not sure what most of that means. How will it benefit people?
