“Great to connect with you my ‘new’ friend @elonmusk. I believe you will be an excellent leader for @Twitter to propel & maximise its great potential.”
The Twitter investment does not appear to offer either Alwaleed or the Saudi government any formal control over Twitter. Musk is now the company’s sole director
the more you "invest" in someone the chances are the more you can sway them, pressure them, ultimately control them
Saudi Arabia's Water and Electricity Holding Company, part of the country's sovereign wealth fund, and United Arab Emirates' Alpha Dhabi are part of the funding round for........drum roll...SpaceX
why now??
with little to nothing happening on the Mars front and Tesla bleeding value and Twitter may go bankrupt before we get to 2024 - why though more cash at a loser is the big question
safe to say Musk is knee deep in Saudi shit they currently own his ass
Happy Near Miss Day, everyone. Drink up, the world's about to end.
Near Miss Day—the 34th anniversary of an asteroid a half-mile wide coming within 500,000 miles of Earth.
It was hurtling through space at 46,000 miles per hour and would have struck the planet with the force of 20 billion tons of TNT, probably canceling March Madness that year.
Humans are not special, scale is.
The other main fact (sparsity): Humans are not special, but primates are. Only primates and birds have neurons not proportional to their body size
Updated imaging and phylogenetic comparative methods reassess relative temporal lobe size in anthropoids and modern humans

My son has whiplash and is out of work for a week. I can’t say much except it is being handled by the other person’s insurance but we have a long road ahead of us. I’m more concerned about my son. He hasn’t had the time to process it yet but he’s been on the go all day. I took a late lunch and we dropped the dog off at daycare and I ran him around. He’s been given muscle relaxers and pain meds and I hope he rests.
@Alfred you seem to be responsive to some prompts but not others. What makes for a good prompt for you?
From UK. Former Tory. Came to the US and realised just how effed up the right-wing really are.
As to faith, I have none.
I'm consider myself to be an ally.
