Trump is not rich enough to do this. How I wish Elon was an actual conservative. Even if he is just a libertarian who leans conservative on economics, he has the cash to be a huge thorn in the left’s side.

Other posters at other FR forums have said Musk is a futurist with knowledge of science and technology.

I see a lot of corporate real estate near me that is just empty.

At the same time, I am aware of a lot of people more or less “living in their parents’ basement” because rents are high.

Seems like an obvious solution: convert abandoned cubicle farms into cheap housing.

Here in New England, we used to have very large brick textile mills. They ended up abandoned as the work moved to cheaper areas. Then people converted the old mills into loft apartments and luxury condos.

I think they should re-visit that sort of thing, but skip the “luxury” aspect — just give people a place to live. Where I am, most of the homes cost about a million, and this is why young people live in their parents’ basement.

He ought to find a way to buy CNN. The left keeps a death grip on MSM so he would have to do it covertly.

I don’t know how long it will last, but I am quite enjoying Musk’s roll as public tech troll.

Broadcast/Cable media is dead. Its gone the way of the CD music disc. Its not worth Musk's time. If it was not for the fact that CNN is one of the preferred mouthpieces of the CIA and US deep-state, it wouldn't exist.

CNN should be available at a rock bottom price.

Internet stocks tend to be expensive.

Titter is defined as a short suppressed laugh.I think it is the whimsical part of Elon coming out in expressing that twitter is not a serious platform. After all, how many serious thoughts can one express in 280 characters? Elon has tendency to boil things down to get at the heart of the matter.

They could be converted to Hotel F1 type (baths & toilets down the hall) places fairly cheaply.

isn’t that funny as heck? He didn’t give them a ‘no’ option, just ‘yes’ and ‘of course’...LOL

CNN Has one purpose, it is the launch pad for fake news. A constant is the network news broadcast starting with “CNN reports today that …”. Just last week all 3 led with the BS 8 missing hours of Jan 6 White House logs story. It came from CNN.

Elon retains a juvenile sense of humor.
