I made a prediction 2 years ago that elon would be the first billionaire turned homeless person.
It was more a dream, but I've never made a prediction I want to happen as much as that one
SpaceX hired Gwynne Shotwell shortly after being founded, and she has been COO/President the entire time. While Elon may be the face of SpaceX like most of his companies, and may be responsible for major goals, he hasn’t really been in the driver seat, letting Gwynne handle operations.
It seems clear that this is the difference between SpaceX and his other ventures like Tesla and Twitter where he has been directly making changes to daily operations. Even with a separate CEO at Twitter, it’s clear he’s still making daily operating decisions.
Elon sucks at operating a business directly, he needs someone else to actually handle daily operations, to filter his thoughts and decisions for how realistic they are to implement.
Starlink is a separate company from SpaceX. They use SpaceX as a launch provider, and there’s a lot of vertical integration between them (Just like SpaceX uses a lot of Tesla stuff), but they are a different company.
There’s several things Elon has done with Starlink that’s questionable, like the current Brazil stuff. Refusing to block access via Starlink after their Supreme Court approved blocking X in the country because it’s not following their national laws. After Elon said that they will follow national laws.
If Al Gore had won New Hampshire he would have won even without Florida. It could be important.
That said, it’s polling more Democratic than Texas is Republican. By the time you’re likely to win New Hampshire you would have already won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and thus the election. Not worth putting resources into.
One of my main issues with feminism is the lack of addressing issues that overwhelmingly effect women of color. It seems feminist mainly focus on the issues of middle to upper class college educated white women as that is usually who is speaking for everyone.
The biggest irony is the arguments about the gender pay gap while conviently ignoring the racial pay gap between white women and women of color.
There are a number of feminist communities on Lemmy that you’re welcome to join, although I doubt you’ll get very far with arguments that were addressed in the 1990s
It is important to remember that we have a responsibility to make it hard for actual antisemites to penetrate into the peace movement, even though it makes for a convenient vector for them to attack Jews in general, thus giving them a strong incentive to try.
By doing this, we can help undermine that line of attack that Netanyahu and his buddies are so fond of using against peace protestors.
The line I have been hearing, and I don’t like repeating it but you gotta know the talking points to counter them, is “he said he had every right to, but wouldn’t stoop to the lows the dems would so he never acted on it”.
It is stupid, but that is their logic/defense from what I am hearing…sad and weird.
It’s entertaining because Elon said that Twitter was going to follow the law in each country, but of course he refused to follow Brazilian law and now he’s dealing with the consequences.
And I’m not promoting the Brazilian government here. It seems like they’re up to shady stuff too. But good for them for sticking it to Elon.
I admire that the writer of this article was able to express the subject’s disapproval in the title with the word “rebukes” and not fall to the temptation of using “slams” or “claps back” or -god forbid “put on blast”
