    “How to burn 44 billion dollars within a year” by Elon Musk

    ✅ alienated advertisers ✅ alienated right wing by curbing free speech despite saying the opposite ✅ alienated left wing by letting the right wing go rampant ✅ restricting core functions

    Wow how is that going to be profitable for him? I don’t see it.

      It must be nice to be able to burn 44 billion dollars and not miss it at all.

      I could live comfortably for the rest of my life on 1/10,000th of what Musk wasted.

        With 44 billion us dollars Elon could have built a small home for every homeless us citizen.

            I Florida apartment complexes are being built to increase population density and gouge money. Rent here is $1600 - $2000.

              New-build apartment complexes charge what the market will bear. The market will bear such a high price because the zoning code restricts supply by limiting where the apartments can be built and mandates expensive amenities (most notably, dedicated parking spaces).

              Relax the zoning code and more, cheaper, apartments would be built.

                  Although I acknowledge that those issues are real and important, I’m skeptical about assigning too much weight to them in terms of causes of high housing costs. Frankly, prices in most other parts of the country are similarly bad even without those factors in play.

        Most of us will be overjoyed to see 1M deposited in our bank accounts. Not for Elon.

      It actually seems like the right can still say what they want, and the right was never actually for free speech.

      They’re for their own speech being unrestricted, mostly to say hateful things and incite violence. But you better believe the same standard isn’t applied to the left.

      alienated right wing by curbing free speech despite saying the opposite

      They don’t care. They don’t want actual free speech, they just wanted their speech forced to everyone without fact checking or throttling.
