SpaceX doesn't sell to the public, it doesn't have normie consumers who make purchasing decisions based on brand, at least not as yet. That can change when they start selling their internet services, but again up to now all the pr

Whoever will solve it, then the person with the best social competence, speaking abilities and promotional power would get the merit. And the best placed individual is the POTUS whoever he/she might be.

Then Trump would get the glory...regardless the glory of solving climate change and landing on Mars will go to the person who has the best ability to promote their role in such feat. Musk looks tough on twitter, but he can't speak and

Amazon simply can't afford rockets blowing up publicly like Tesla can. This is all there is to it. Bezos stepping down and distancing himself from Amazon should provide new lift (no pun intended) and much more risk taking to Blue Origi

Really hard to pull this off, people won't accept a camera which spies on them when they are using their phone

No...like the camera being disabled for real unless you give the consent to use it....all that under the penalty of losing the 2 trillion dollar company reputation if you are uncovered doing otherwise. This thing would only work at 2% of it

This has incredible potential to disrupt the ads business, marketplace business, as well as the software UI business. In one word. It would completely disrupt the data mining business. They only know when you click on something nowadays. Wi

Point being. Will all Musk bootlickers be around when Tesla "succeeds" but is a paltry 87 billion dollar automaker company and Musk goes way down in the Forbes list? My guess is no. People want to talk about success and success is

You are crazy if you think Tesla margins are different than other automakers. They do the exact same thing, and building cars is the worst business there is. Regardless...now is the moment when the rubber meets the road. Market cap cannot g

Absolutely, inflation you can hedge against, for climate change you need the whole world to play ball. It's something people say in the social setting to look cool and hip, but when the curtains are closed they buy the cheapest stuff n

No way. The vast majority of people who invest in crypto do so because in the back of their mind they are afraid of inflation That's the spring which compels them to invest: hatred towards the Fed policy of 2%, the public would really

Mad respect to Bob Dylan, he's the best at what he does and this inteview proves it, because he touches the social and human aspect. You need these capabilities to write great songs. To me the reality is much simpler. A rock n roll son

It's not surprising actually. People are looking for something to believe in, which will make them feel like the future will be brighter. Musk has this ability . Unless he goes crazy and becomes overleveraged with debt he'll be fi
