Forum rules
The Off-Topic area is a general community discussion and chat area with special rules of engagement.

Enter, read and post at your own risk. You have been warned!
While our staff will try to guide the herd into sensible directions, this board is a mostly unrestricted zone where almost anything can be discussed, including matters not directly related to the project, technology or similar adjacent topics.

We do, however, require that you:
  • Do not post anything pornographic.
  • Do not post hate speech in the traditional sense of the term.
  • Do not post content that is illegal (including links to protected software, cracks, etc.)
  • Do not post commercial advertisements, SEO links or SPAM posts.
We also ask that you keep strongly polarizing topics like politics and religion to a minimum. This forum is not the right place to discuss such things.
Please do exercise some common sense. How you act here will inevitably influence how you are treated elsewhere.

Off-topic:
I'll venture to take this post seriously within the rabbit-hole topic (probably shouldn't :think:).... He is only the richest man in the universe with a net worth of between 230-270 Billion US Dollars (depending upon your source) and the CEO of numerous very high profile companies of which the most notable are Tesla and SpaceX - who in just the past 2 days made headline news purchasing 9.2% of Twitter stock placing him as the highest Twitter shareholder causing market shares to soar 22% in value (with his share value increasing from $2.9 billion to $3.5 billion) as a direct result of the transaction ultimately leading just yesterday to his appointment on the Twitter board of directors.... that's all.... :shock:

Wearing my aluminium hat, Pallid Planetoid:

Would that 9.2% of Twitter stock make any difference,
if such Musk in the taste for POTUS aspiration?

Too late Trump deflected towards an "app".

Is an app on a diferent scale, aspirational?
At my mind no doubt remains, Twits editable will be.

He’s a kook of the highest caliber whose antics pull the tiger’s tail and piss off a lot of people. So he’s OK with me.
Stay away from crowds.

Twitter's next board meeting should be smokin' :D

Strange how so many of these little-boy-lost multi-billionaires want to get off the planet and not save the one we actually have?
