Regardless of whether Elon ends up conquering Twitter and reinstating Trump's account or whatever, only good can come from this. The social media monopoly hasn't had to deal with ANY serious headwinds before this.

I kind of like Elon. You know he wants to eliminate fossil fuels right? Believes in global warming etc?

He also want to put microchips in people's heads like he did to his chimpanzees.

I've heard his takes on climate change, they're a lot more nuanced and practical than anything you'd find in the screwball Paris accord.

Can you give me a comparison using a few quotes from Elon and a few quotes from the Paris accord? I'm not familiar with either to a great extent, so I'd like it if you could inform me on why you have this opinion.

I'll never have the time/patience to go link hunting for you Netflix, but I'm happy to share my high altitude anecdotal take on what I've heard from him. I don't agree with most of what Elon believes and plans to do about what he believes is anthropogenic climate change, but I do appreciate that he speaks about comprehensive, world-wide solutions, as opposed to Paris which from what I can tell only specifies that the West adapt, leaving China and India to grow with impunity. I am definitely not on board with a "Carbon Tax" as he proposes, as any reasonable person knows a great majority of that money would not be re-allocated according to its reason to be taxed in the first place. In a non-corrupt, functional system with transparency and representation, I'd be more likely to get on board with a system that punishes entities that abuse our environment in anyway, not simply based on carbon emissions, which is extremely short-sighted considering all the other ways entities can be a malus on the environment.

This is just buzz words. Sounds to me like you don't know what either of them say or you would give real details.

I did give details. Carbon tax. Focus on western adaptation while excluding Asia.

Talking to you is a waste of time in any context. Why were you born?
