Whew - spot on comment from a senior editor at The Atlantic, posted on Christmas Eve. The stock value has dropped almost 12% again today.
It's bad enough that we conversationalists were dependent on a company that could be taken over by an insane Elon Musk but think of the astronauts whose lives depend on Musk or Russia. Or the Ukrainian soldiers whose communication and lives depend on Musk or Russia. Or the poor pedestrians whose lives will depend on Musk.
The Tesla stock crash is really something to watch. Elon continues to demolish his cult of personality to the point where he's now flirting with/amplifying the worst of the worst - Michael Flynn's Q-adjacent group and a drunken Medvedev. This is the finest example yet of doing what doesn't worker harder.
@jeffjarvis I was thinking this morning about the child in Cincinnati whose father found a kidney donor through #Twitter. For shame to Musk for buying this worldwide #community out of false pride and a desire to quash liberal voices.
It's hard to overstate the extent to which the FBI-Twitter-Hunter Biden narrative promoted by Musk depends on narrative over evidence. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/12/20/twitter-fbi-story-relies-far-more-insinuation-than-evidence/
The Twitter-FBI story relies far more on insinuation than evidence

What's been revealed is vague or clearly innocuous. What's presented — and therefore believed — is far more shocking.

This just came in the mail and I don’t know how to be anything but gauche about it. Really proud to work at NBC News alongside such brilliant colleagues. (BRB changing all my bios to Emmy award winning.)
Holy cr*p Tesla stock plummeting - now down to $126.

The Glory of Arrowtown - crazy autumn colours in Arrowtown are well worth catching if you are in the area, the old quaint Gold mining town just lights up
