Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via #Starlink interference, @elonmusk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities. As a result, civilians, children are…— Михайло Подоляк (@Podolyak_M) September 7, 2023

GREAT car. Zero regrets. Also biased because the charging infrastructure in California, despite the legitimate complaining, is pretty good.

My wife has one of those cars, and she loves it, but apparently her biggest (negative) surprise was a limited turning radius. Or at least, more awkward than she expected for something so otherwise zippy.

Does Михайло Подоляк realize that Elon Musk was raised in South Africa in a family that wistfully views apartheid as the good old days of stable, orderly governance?

Yes, Ellen, please tell us more about what is actually happening in public schools today, your finger is so on that particular pulseIt's really amazing to me how quickly I've gone from 'I have no opinion about that guy whose name I know' to 'that guy should get into an accident where he no longer has the ability to communicate with the other people in the world'. And all because that guy has been working overtime to completely sour every non-shit person's opinion of him. It's like the one thing at which he is an unalloyed success.

I mean, he could turn his responsibilities to all of his businesses over to anyone else and they would do better, he could just go to Jamaica and party for the rest of his life. He could build an island palace and populate it with willing supermodels that he could pay to do his bidding. He could, oh, BETTER HUMANITY. He could make a solid gold butt-plug encrusted with precious jewels and give it to Kanye West as a gag gift. He could just fuck right off. UGH. How can somebody be so influential and important and so goddamned trifling at the same time, I don't understand it.
I need to spend less time online, I find myself getting worked up too much about people that I can do nothing about, that I shouldn't worry about. I can vote and volunteer to help local organizations, all this other stuff is garbage taking up mental space.

Grimes just wants to see the son she shares with ex-partner Elon Musk, but she says she’s being boxed out.
The “Oblivion” singer seems to have responded, in a now-deleted X post, to a self-promoting post from author Walter Isaacson about his new Musk biography, which featured photos of the SpaceX chief executive and Shivon Zilis, the mother of his recently born twins. Grimes pleaded in the tweet for the writer to relay a request to Musk about how he and Zilis have allegedly blocked the Canadian artist from seeing her son.
“Tell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer,” Grimes’ post read, per screenshots posted on Reddit. “I have never even been allowed to see a photo of these children until this moment, despite the situation utterly ripping my family apart.”

I *think* Grimes was saying she's not allowed to do stuff with her kids and Musk's other recent kids together. Either way sounds like she'll happily have a bunch more with the paranoid amoral choad.

If I’m reading this correctly (and the reported information is accurate), there were four simultaneous surrogacies. Two with the woman from Tesla that asked for his sperm because she admired him and two with Grimes.

This seems to be intriguingly bad journalism in that the story linked (and the tweet in it) are from last year, when she was 33. So it uses house style to mask the fact that this is a (relatively) old opinion.
