Elon Musk Stuff

[Monahorns]

Sorry I don't want China's birthrate to go up. I want American birth rates to go up. To be free you must have 3.

I realize this is the Musk thread so I'll only say it once here. Maybe if abortion was illegal, there would be more babies born and the countries wouldn't have the worsening age gap!

My dad says you need at least 4, because the Bible says to "multiply." If you start as 2 people and have 3, you've only added. You haven't multiplied.

Elon is braindead when it comes to solar power. I guess all geniuses have a blind spot.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

I disagree, Mona. The problem with solar isn't the amount of energy to potentially harvest.

Is is intermittency, storage, transmission, and a number of other issues that prevent solar from being a panacea.

Yep Sangre, and I’ll bet Musk will say his Tesla batteries are the answer to storage issue. I hate to think the environmental costs to that gargantuan battery requirement.

 

[Run Pincher]

Pretty crazy, and I would say it's not just twitter, but all MSM. And Musk has always been a democrat, but did say this is 2022, "In 2022, Musk said that he could "no longer support" the Democrats because they are the "party of division & hate"

It has more problems than just that. Maybe there is enough solar radiation to harness around the globe but 1 large solar farm like Elon is talking about would be a complete disaster.

For one, it is more expensive than fossil fuel sourced electricity. It also would also take 10 times the land use and mined material mass than fossil fuel based electricity would take. This is based on the energy density of solar vs fossil fuels. It makes solar a waste of time and money.

The economic cost would be beyond prohibitive. It takes more than the GDP of the whole world to power 1 city for 1 hour with Li+ batteries.

^ Whatever people think of Musk, and he is a strange dude at times, I like to believe he is sincere in trying to fix things. And willing to take risks that few would take on (even if they could afford to).

The only proper response to communists.

@LonghornCatholic are the tweets showing up for you?

Negative

Strange. I've been having this problem since yesterday on here.

Shirley they didn’t disable embedding tweets in websites. Seems like that would be a really dumb move but Elon does weird things sometimes.

Obligatory...

 

[Monahorns]

Elon read Hayek's "The Road To Serfdom" and brought Alex Jones back onto Twitter. Libertarian and Based.

The Democratic Party has always been about division and hate. They just don't hide it any more.

Dems still try to pass themselves off as the party of loving everyone.

Hopefully enough of the people who voted Demx have realized Demx screwed them in the past are still screwing them.
I worry more about the Cheating we know Demx will do
