Elon Musk officially buys Twitter, DONE DEAL !

yeah...

i watched the whole video but i am at work and only gave it 50% attention. i don't think it's mentioned anywhere in the video. given that just over 40,000 people died in automobile-related accidents in the u.s. last year, it's hard to know what it means (beyond arbitrary fear-mongering).

alasdair
 
He is open about making click bait titles, I think he’s just trying to say the weight of EVs make is more dangerous for combustion car drivers in an accident
It's a little sensationalist but he's right

The EU better hurry as they've promised to go all electric by 2030, uhm 2035.
Hardly any infrastructure and no way in hell the electrical grid can handle all that peak load, and with everyone shutting their nuclear reactors down.. 🙃
 
I personally doubt he is following through with buying Twitter.
It's gonna appear before the Delaware court somewhere in October. Either he's forced to go through, he gets away free (maybe a minor fine) or they settle. He signed a contract so he can't just not follow through.

Why would anyone be shutting down nuclear reactors right now? Makes no sense. Nuclear is by far the best option for electricity that we have. Not perfect, but it's the standout of the bunch. And has been for a long time.

My theory is that nuclear was deemed too efficient, and not profitable enough to take on the perceived risks. The questions around some of the sabotage that happened in US nuclear plants in the 70s and 80s really makes you scratch your head. It’s also one of the cleanest energies, aside from the spent rods. But it’s no comparison to oil/gas or lithium mining.

TBH that is exactly what is happening with solar power. It is so efficient that power prices can drop into negative territory, which is great for consumers but not so great for the greedy energy executives.

 
I just sold after hours. I got what I wanted, not gonna risk waiting around for ~$3/share more that could possibly not happen
