A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Maybe, but I don't think Musk is running twitter for money. He's probably doing what every billionaire is doing. Buying media to shape public opinion. Turning twitter right leaning to build public support for conservative policies that will benefit his other business is probably the play.
Why worry losing 20bn when he could gain 50bn for SpaceX(SeX. Just seen that...) and Tesla? Sounds like a good return on investment.
And Tesla's first few car models were S, 3, X, Y (Ford owned the trademark on model E, so Musk had to go with 3).
I did not know that. He really is a manchild.
