Thank you for your answer, do you mean I have to check my html, or css ?

by answering his question in the Lounge, he now thinks this is an acceptable place to discuss programming questions.
I could be wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
Should I now move the question to the programming section or re-question in that section?

He's either a genius or a complete moron, because I can't work out what the heck he thinks he is doing ...
That's a stupid amount of money to spend just to effectively burn it note by note. So either he has a grand plan that is so complex nobody but him understands it, or it's so dumb that he may as well be burning $100 bills to heat his home.

I'm not a big believer in 4D chess. If someone looks like they're stepping in it, it's because they're stepping in it, in my experience.

Mostly, that's true.
But the actions of someone with a big enough intelligence would be incomprehensible to me; I just wouldn't have the mental capacity to understand it - like my cat cannot understand how to open a foil pouch full of cat food ...

Mine can, he tears open the pouch in the middle.
If we don't keep them locked away he will feed himself in the middle of the night.

I haven't seen Elon do anything that would make me think his intelligence is particularly exceptional except choose the right parents to be born to. I'm not saying he's not smart. But I also never saw Einstein steal other people's inventions or burn $44 million billion dollars to make a political point (or whatever it is he thinks he is doing). Just sayin'

The fallacy in that statement is in thinking that being smart translates to every possible human activity.
Whether Musk is intelligent or just lucky is debatable. He certainly has had failures.

I do enjoy watching the 4D contortions people put themselves through in order to believe Musk is playing 4D chess!
Except their gullibility is so sad to watch that my feelings are somewhat tempered.

My understanding of the facts that were presented to us by the media was that he did not want to pay that much for the company but was forced to, in the end, by a court of law, as it was the initial agreed upon amount....contracts and stuff, I guess.
It is my personal feeling that if he can't make a go at it with Twitter, he will sink the ship, and that has been the plan all the time - Remove Twitter from the Liberal power at all costs.
Elon is a very smart man. I'm sure he will figure things out.
I just like sitting back and watching grown adults crap their pants every day over him and Twitter.

For a man whose plan is going as smoothly as you say he sure doesn't seem happy about it.

If you paid billions of dollars over fair market value, would you be happy? Of course he is not happy.

Sounds like he's a victim of his own bad business dealings.
I've never been roped into buying a big ticket item I didn't want.
Read the fine print, Elon.

I suspect, he will end up sinking the ship. He has no experience running a social media company. In any event, he wins the end game with Twitter, and all the while heads are exploding around the world over it.
Makes for most excellent entertainment.

That we agree on. When twitter loses, we all win.

Would depend on whether there's any collateral damage.
I'm seeing the value of Tesla going down, as people start to realize what a whacko he is.
|

The major auto manufacturers are poised to overtake Tesla anyway. They were first to market, but that's all they've had going for them, and I think as much of the beating Tesla is taking can be attributed to companies like Volkswagen finally catching up.
That said, certainly Elon trash trolling all his potential Tesla customers via Twitter didn't help. American conservatives aren't going to buy Teslas. Bad PR all around.

I think we did the electric car thing ass backwards. We should have built the infrastructure first to support mass e-car production and use. Instead, we put the cart in front of the horse.
Now is the time to fix that. Can't sell millions of eCars with no way to charge them.
|
|

|

Typical chicken and egg problem. No one would have paid to build the infrastructure for a handful of e-cars. Now that there are some e-cars they will start upgrading the infrastructure. That will allow more e-cars and so on.
BTW the same thing happened with petrol cars: they didn't start by building the gas stations and highways waiting for the cars to show up
