Regardless of who owns it, the tech-heads in these companies are largely H1B Visa types - folks who have no appreciation for free speech.

Even with Musk in charge, the toolies will at a minimum work a soft rebellion, thwarting any effort to change. Sort of like gov employees do when a repub is in charge.

“Even with Musk in charge, the toolies will at a minimum work a soft rebellion, thwarting any effort to change.”

That’s you hold a companywide meeting and explain that you will fire three of them every week until it stops!

A couple weeks and they will settle right down to work.

Jim Robinson has the best social media platform - it’s called ‘FreeRepublic’ ......Musk should check it out and appreciate that it doesn’t cost $$$billions.

Only 3 per week?

I’d fire 3,000 of the most vocal opponents right off the bat, and then settle in to the 3 per week, selected at random based on job performance.

“I really like this guy, a living Hank Reardon/Francisco d’Anconia.”


I do too.

This lovely home my Wife and I built in ‘95 has had limited internet capacity since the beginning. DSL is available but the actual speed is below 1 Mbs (more like 377K).

Our 5 Mbs service costs $90.00/month. An 8 Mbs is available for $130.00.

Now we have Starlink and 150 Mbs for $110.00 (it just went up from $99.00).

Elon Musk is a can-do fellow!

Did I say he wasn’t smart? All I said was I think he’s making money by manipulating securities markets.

I actually hoped Jim would offer it to Trump before he dies, unfortunately it would become a trash dump in order to turn a profit so good for us he didn’t.

Check out T-Mobile home internet it is faster and cheaper if you have a tower anywhere close enough. I know one guy who put an antenna up like the old TV antennas we used to have to use with a cell phone antenna and he cancelled his Starlink perpetual waiting list. Only 50 bucks a month for T-Mobile, if that is an option where you live.

“Check out T-Mobile home internet “


Thank you for this, but it’s not available anywhere near my address in Montana - hence the satellite internet.

Starlink is nearly twice as fast as the listed specs of T-Mobile, but service is very fast with both providers.

Downloaded a 5 GB movie yesterday in 9 minutes (used to take three hours+).

Have to say I’m very happy!

Happy Easter, FRiend!
