ETA:
👉#ElonMusk is very likely the globally most influential ultraright person of all times👈

X, Starlink, and TESLA give him global reach, Starlink power over many militaries and economies, #DOGE unheard of access to personal data of most Americans.

I agree. All of #Elmo's ventures 1) are a threat to humanity:

#TESLA
#X
#SpaceX 2)
#Neuralink
...

And 1.5 million in fines 1) is just "Peanuts" for him.

#USA#Trump#Musk

#Golem heute mit einer Analyse zur Situation von #SpaceX. Ich kenne mich zugegebenermaßen mit #Raumfahrt wenig bis gar nicht aus (hätte bspw. gedacht, dass die Regierungsaufträge der USA durch die enge Bindung von #Musk an #Trump mehr "wert" sind).

Sehr interessant, dass es auch technisch alles andere als gut zu laufen scheint. Das Musk ein Großmaul ist, was viel verspricht, aber wenig hält, ist ja bekannt. Aber es gibt offenbar sogar einen Rückschritt.
