This is excellent, but it omits one thing. It doesn’t report the fact that Musk’s AI facility in Memphis is operating turbines for power that are unlicensed. Please include that next time in your investigation. Also since the announcement that the FAA is totally revamping its system, I think that is going to involve Musk’s illegal activities extensively, so I would like to see details of those plans. Thank you for your reporting.

Sarah, I agree about the FAA and the interference with the contract for another company to update the Air Traffic control system. I would also like to hear more about it.

How dare you question Elon's right to decide who lives or dies? Is he not the richest man on the planet? An ubermench, a superior being. In his pathologically demented mind, anyway. Sickeningly, he and other billionaires and broligarchs like him believe they should rule with the divine right of kings.

Elon plays into Zev Shalev's series on the New Feudalism.

""Mars is life insurance for life collectively," Musk said in a recent Fox News interview. "So, eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the Sun. The Sun is gradually expanding, and so we do at some point need to be a multi-planet civilization because Earth will be incinerated.""

Yes the Sun will expand into a red giant and consume the Earth. At some point. In about 6 billion years.

Yeah, it's never been a secret. Humans will be long gone by the time the Earth bites the dust.

He seems like an idiot.

If Musk hadn't taken a chainsaw to the government, we might not know half of this stuff. Because his ego is so large and fragile he must shout his lies and accelerate this whining. He is a nasty man inside another nasty man. His hats have two hats because his head is expanding. But none of this looks clean, none looks heroic, none looks like he is serving mankind. He is like a crash test dummy, sans helmet, strapped into a self driving Tesla, about to hit a brick wall.

And he, like Trump, Stephen Miller and Tom Homan, should be wearing a big red "B" for babykiller.

Like many emporers, oligarchs, dictators and the wealthy beyond measure, Musk made a bust of Musk. Ozymandias, really.

"“It’s not likely to be an explicit element of the trade negotiations with the U.S., but the Indian side sees this as an important lubricant that facilitates a deal,” said one of the people briefed on the matter by Indian leadership."

Lubricant? Sounds like Modi is going to take it in the Narendra...
