The Elon Musk Thread
I get the feeling he's going to lose it all one day. He's too cavalier.
On the plus side, the spaceships are great, there's no getting around that. But how much of that is a direct result of his efforts? Very little.
On the other hand, the cars are not great, Neuralink is plain evil, the other tech is mainly repackaged old ideas. And in the big book of black marks, there's the Grimes thing and his treatment of the rescue diver in Thailand was disgusting.

Let's Talk About Ceps
Is it a complete coincidence that we're talking about monkeys with electrodes in their brains in the Musk thread?Have you heard of the John C. Lilly experiments on monkeys?
"It was found that in male monkeys there were separate systems for erection, for ejaculation, and for orgasm. With an electrode in the separate orgasm system, the monkey would stimulate this region and go through a total orgasm without erection and without ejaculation. Given the apparatus by which he could stimulate himself once every three minutes for twenty-four hours a day, the monkey stimulated the site and had orgasms every three minutes for sixteen hours and then slept eight hours and started again the next day.
In the negative systems it was found that, if the apparatus was set up to automatically stimulate the monkey once every three minutes for twenty-four hours a day, it would shut off the stimulus each time during the -twenty-four hours. If this stimulus was continued for too many hours, the monkey became sicker and sicker; finally unable to push the switch, it headed toward its own death. This clinical picture could be changed by allowing the monkey to stimulate the positive systems which completely reversed the "dying" syndrome."

Well share the wealth Edmund, I bet there are a lot of Internet geeks - and me of course - who would love to learn of this so-called fun way.

Like in that film where Seth Rogan and his wife live next to a frat house and one of them can do the same thing - he uses it unsportingly during a fight, distracting his opponent with his wiener (which I believe is the technical word for it in such circles).

Do you want him to build the spaceship personally. He's an entrepreneur not an inventor and his Starlink has proved tremendously useful, not least in Ukraine.

He'd probably love to think he looks sinister. I think he just looks brain-damaged.This one's particularly sinister.

Gotta love this Musk fanboy walking on top of his Cybertruck to demonstrate how well built it is and just pretending the windscreen didn't instantly crack under his weight.

I think it's edited, but he looks a little like Christopher Hitchens here.
