As an engineer in the solar business I interviewed
with both Tesla and Sunpower

I chose Sunpower

I do love Tesla and I love Elon and he offered me more money but Sunpower’s got the worlds greatest solar panels with no doubt about it

Yeah, check out the other replies to my comments.

Some people ARE for sale. No wonder we’re in this pickle.

Musk’s income stream is going to explode once Starlink goes live worldwide. Potentially billions of clients around the world, even those in currently unreachable internet zones. He’ll be over 300 billion in another year.

RE: That’s not the more profitable division of Amazon. AWS is.

And AWS is the Amazon Division that de-platformed Parler because they were going to give Trump a venue to send his messages to the millions who follow him after he was banned from Twitter.

AWS is cool, but So is Azure, and all the other cloud providers. Especially if you are a startup.

However, if you don’t hold it you don’t own it.

I know people high up in both companies, and while Azure offers on prem “Azure in a box” where you can buy the hardware and platform, Amazon will not ever do this with AWS.

There is a reason all Kindles should come with a copy of fahrenheit 451

And there’s a pretty good chance Elon with his pocket change could fund trumps new media format giving people a chance at actual free speech

Musk has an incredible sense of humor on top of being brilliant.

I saw another recent troll of Bezos by Musk. An interviewer pointed out he was competing with Jeff Bezos. Musk replied, “Jeff who?”

Count me in recognizing Elon profited from the green deal, but to tell the truth, i don’t care. It was the law, he followed the law, and he made money.. Many more people did so as well, and it was legal. So call your congressman and complain to him, not somebody that followed the law.

Musk is a socialist that keeps getting mugged and little by little “woked” from those muggings.

Um, Elon is African. Born & raised in Africa. Now naturalized American.
He’s African American, more so than most “African Americans”.
Since when does color matter?

Do you accept tax deductions & credits offered you? Of course.
Unlike most green ventures, he wasn’t in it for the free money. Musk was going to make a car company, and that legislators offered him piles of cash was incidental.

Not beyond what was confiscated from me.

And, in fact, I am one of perhaps a small number of FReepers to never have accepted a’stimulus’ from any administration.

Doesn’t matter anymore, neither are Obozo and VP Harris.

You don’t accept a unilateral refund of monies confiscated from you?

Elon is a good kind of crazy. Yet to be seen. So far, so good.

Each word you type exposes either the truth about you or your fundamental ethical deficits.

Keep goin’. Maybe - just maybe - you’ll learn something (but not at my expense).
