Hey folks -

The seemingly never-ending flood of Musk/Twitter news and commentary is getting to some of our users (and some of the mods, too), so we've decided to create a general Megathread for all things related to Elon Musk and X/Twitter.

This thread will be a general Musk catch-all, so we're including news about Musk acting the fool as related to any of his companies (SpaceX, Tesla, Boring). News about those companies that don't involve Elon can be posted outside this thread.

Musk, like Trump, is a narcist who loves to see himself in the news. Like a toddler deprived of parental love, he, like Trump, will frequently "act out" by saying outrageous things on social media to get any kind of attention from people.

Musk only cares about leaving his mark on the world, to gain immortality. He would prefer to be loved for eternity, but if he can't, then being hated for eternity is an acceptable second prize. This is why he started off talking big about taking humanity to Mars, but now spouts right-wing hate.

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.
