Elon Musk boosts fake Trump rally bomb threat and false claims about the election
Elon Musk is using his social media platform to promote misinformation about the presidential candidates in the lead up to the November election, amplifying false claims Wednesday about a Trump rally bomb threat and immigrants eating pets in Ohio.
While Musk’s posting of provocative, incendiary content on X is nothing new, the speed with which he has promoted false claims in recent days is striking given the breadth of Musk’s digital reach, with his posts regularly finding their way atop users’ feeds.
During the same weekend, however, Musk also joined a chorus of conspiracy-minded X users circulating a hoax “affidavit” from a purported “whistleblower” that claimed last week’s ABC News debate was rigged to help Kamala Harris. ABC has since confirmed the typo-ridden document was fake.
Then on Wednesday, Musk reshared a bogus claim that a bomb had been discovered near the site of a planned Trump rally in Long Island. Police said in a statement that “reports of explosives being found at the site are unfounded.”
Also on Wednesday, Musk reshared a video falsely claiming the city manager of Springfield, Ohio, admitted in March that there had been reports of Haitian immigrants eating pets, captioning the post “Always Be Cheating News,” a clear knock on ABC’s moderators, who had fact-checked Trump’s false claims on the matter at the debate. The edited video instead showed a Springfield resident sharing that he had heard unconfirmed reports about domesticated animals being harmed. Both the city’s mayor and manager both state during the hearing they have seen no proof of such claims.
Hours later, Musk shared a map purporting to be from Nate Silver, the renowned statistician and FiveThirtyEight founder, projecting a 312-226 electoral college victory for Trump in November, saying the election was “trending well.” The map, however, was a fake.
My guess is that Tesla is about to collapse so he is trying to force his foot into politics as the only way to bail himself.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
Cards Against Humanity suing Elon Musk for $15 million
Seven years ago, 150,000 people paid us $15 to protect a pristine parcel of land on the US-Mexico border from racist billionaire Donald Trump's very stupid wall.
Unfortunately, an even richer, more racist billionaire⸺Elon Musk⸺snuck up on us from behind and completely fucked that land with gravel, tractors, and space garbage.
How did this happen? Elon Musk’s SpaceX was building some space thing nearby, and he figured he could just dump his shit all over our gorgeous plot of land without asking. After we caught him, SpaceX gave us a 12-hour ultimatum to accept a lowball offer for less than half our land’s value. We said, “Go fuck yourself, Elon Musk. We’ll see you in court.”

I wouldn't be accepting Twitter as compensation if I were the CAH guys, after Galaxy Brain spooging all over it, that site's now worth tuppence ha'penny.

Elon Musk has deep familial connections to — the “Technocracy Movement,” started in 1936 by Howard Scott as “Technocracy, Inc.” One of the leaders of the Technocracy Movement in Canada was Joshua Haldeman who was a chiropractor by trade.
Joshua Haldeman is Elon Musk’s grandfather.
The technocracy movement was the idea that the only people we should trust with decision making power are technologists and engineers. It also wanted to get rid of money in favor of “energy certificates.”
It had hundreds of thousands of members in the late 30s. Joshua Haldeman was arrested for his participation in 1940.
Elon has taken his grandfather’s technocratic ideas to heart and sees himself as the top technocrat that ever lived. That’s why he called himself the “Technoking of Tesla” and doesn’t care about being Twitter CEO as long as he can “run the software and servers teams.”
On the back of what was effectively slave labor in his emerald mine, Haldeman got “filthy rich,” to the point that the family “couldn’t close the safe.” In 1971, Joshua Haldeman’s daughter Maye gave birth to Elon in Pretoria. Elon remained in South Africa, raised in whites-only prep schools, until the age of 17 when he moved to Canada to avoid military service and make immigrating to the US easier — which he did a few years later.
Three decades after leaving Apartheid, Musk’s companies are infamously racist and Musk himself has persistently signaled to white supremacist, Nazi movements on Twitter. Given his upbringing and his inherent psychopathy, it should not be surprising that he is continuing the family tradition.

Elon Musk is letting Russia use Starlink to control its drones.
Quote:The Russian has installed Starlink on Shahed-136: this is about the unlimited range of communication for the UAV flying 2000 km
During today's night attack, in which 28 of the 32 drones were shot down, the Ukrainian Shahed-136, which was equipped with a Starlink satellite connection from SpaceX, was destroyed.
At the same time, the question of when the Russian Federation will start installing Starlink on its long-range UAVs was objectively only a matter of time. Because before that the enemy had already experimented with 4G modems with Ukrainian SIM cards.
And now we are talking about a very wide and powerful channel of feedback with the drone, the ability to transfer information from it and change the flight task at any distance. That is, the transformation of Shahed-a, first of all, into a reconnaissance tool.
It will be recalled that although Starlink does not work or sell in Russia, the Russians buy it through third countries.

Recently, Elon Musk has been promising that he will send humans to Mars in 4 years, and even Donald Trump is now saying that if he becomes president, he will send humans to Mars.
In reality, it is ridiculous to expect that humans will be landing on Mars in less than ten years, but it will probably take several decades—probably not even this century.
These are just some of the problems that haven’t been solved even by “the smartest man on Earth” Elon Musk.
What you think?
Energy. Humans need lots of energy—think kilowatts, especially since Mars is frequently colder than Antarctica, and you can’t heat on coal or burn wood. This can’t be solved by solar panels since there is less sunlight than on Earth. This also can’t be solved by the Plutonium-238 radioisotope thermoelectric generator, which some rovers are currently using on Mars because you don’t get that much electricity per unit of mass (roughly speaking, for every 2 kg (4.5 lbs) of plutonium, you get enough electric power to run a laptop). So the only viable solution would be some kind of mini nuclear fission reactor which seem to exist since recently, but they are still in the testing phase.
Wearing heavy spacesuits. People on Mars would need to be dressed as if they were doing spacewalk around the ISS, but, unlike in space, there is gravity on Mars which would make these suits very heavy to walk around in, although gravity on Mars is only 1/3 that of on Earth.
Carrying all the food and equipment from Earth to Mars and landing it there. Just imagine carrying food for at least 3 people for a 3 years trip and add to that equipment, living quarters, nuclear reactor, and so on, that is some heavy load that needs to be lifted from Earth and then landed on Mars. That kind of technology (boosters) doesn’t exist yet.
Water for drinking. Remember when I mentioned food for 3 people for 3 years? Well, water is a whole different category that NASA pretty much gave up on carrying all that water and instead is thinking that people could dig for (frozen) water on Mars and then drink it. But for humans to drink Martian water, that water would be needed to be discovered well in advance, and then filtered and tested so people can drink it. And how can you test if water is drinkable on Mars when you are on Earth? There would need to be missions just devoted to finding and preparing water on Mars at least 10 years before humans arrive there, but this has not been happening. Maybe even bring some of that water back to Earth for further testing.
Radiation in deep space and on Mars Considering that humans have not been much farther than Earth’s orbit, it is unknown what kind of effects would radiation have on the human body in that journey between Earth and Mars. Maybe the best way to find out is to send a pig inside of a spaceship toward Mars and back. The surface of Mars is also very radioactive, so spacesuits would need to have some protection, which has not yet been solved.
Carrying it all back to Earth You would need at least 7 kilograms per 1 kilogram of propellant to take off from Mars and that propellant would need to be carried from Earth. Now, there are some plans that it could be made on Mars (taking carbon from air and hydrogen from water and turning it into methane), but most lean that it would need to be carried from Earth. Plus, the rocket would need to take off from the Martian equator and there aren’t many interesting things on the equator, so people would need to make long journeys toward the launching site hauling wagons of food and equipment.
So no wonder this 2016 official tweet by SpaceX was never nothing more than a blatant lie:
BONUS So when could people walk on Mars? My guess is when they make nuclear (fission) rockets because they would be capable of carrying much more weight than the current chemical rockets. Then people could, perhaps, launch a lot of load into Earth’s orbit, assemble it there like ISS, hook nuclear rockets to the load (because they can’t take off from Earth by themselves), and push it all to Mars. But how would it all then land there? — idk. And these rockets could see the light of day relatively soon, but there also needs to be the testing stage period, and who knows what else.
