Elon Musk: Force for anthropic advancement or self-serving con-artist?

Lockheed Martin is a long standing competitor of Musk's businesses. Particularly in aerospace. Back in the day SpaceX’s emergence as a serious competitor disrupted Lockheed Martin's monopoly in government space contracts, especially with NASA and the DoD.

Why spend trillions under established programmes when you can spend the same trillions with Musk at the helm producing autonomous AI drone-interceptors? That seems to me the question Musk is asking. With space launches occurring every day now, there is no longer a question of competitiveness of government-run programs. These programmes are inefficient and slow. Private sector, not just SpaceX, proven to be way more dynamic than government when it comes to aerospace industry.

In short, now that his pal (almost) assumed the Office, Musk is probing whether he can get this piece of the pie too.
So tl;dr regulatory capture strikes again?
 
yeah , defence secretary of the palace cabinet talks of the possibility of America delivering the 6 F-35 built for the aerial branch of the Army of Petrol . Which were seized in the previous reign of Trump as BSS . When he becomes BSSS in January this might have come up again . Which means no harm is done to US interests . It is an idiotic plane ... Which will be paid in acceptance of South Cyprus into NATO . And this like kills , like TOTALLY kills the 6th gen thing to be built in Ankara . It will stop tomorrow , right ? No doubt because the people were like unhappy in getting caight in a bad light about something . Hmmpfh , as if there is any shame left in the country to be ashamed of anything .
 
I saw an f35 dancing in place at the blue angels, they’re sick af
 
Doesn't really make sense for both Greece and Turkey to have F35, when they are ultimately requiring the ok from the US to do stuff due to the aforementioned software.
I heard about Cyprus being in Nato too - that's all Turkey, though; being so blatant in thinking it could act unilaterally (=not as vassal) comes with the reminder that if it leaves the current team it won't leave in one part.
Cyprus may just be in Nato as strategic depth for Israel, but certainly can lead to more things.

you will have the F-35 because America tells you .

america tells you that because Lockmart needs the profits to keep all those people content and happy .

new Turkey will get whatever Washington or London tells them to .

and the locals will remember the foolish over talking American asking what will New Turkey do about some other peace operation , a phrase that invariably riles the Greeks . New Turkey will put South Cyprus in NATO , that's what they will do . They allowed Sweden into NATO , because they were told not to make any trouble about Finland . This was supposed to let us buy F-16s which we do not and will not need anyhow . And we couldn't like because London wants to sell Typhoons anyhow . Yes , all of this is on topic , because Doge il Muskelli will cite his release of F-35 is a move against London and that should be satisfactory . Once again . Insults the F-35 , means there is no issues of selling it to some enemy country .
 
Turkey was thrown out of the F-35 program, because they decided to procure Russian S-400 anti-air systems. The delivered components so far are not active and the rumor is, that the Turks are attempting to sell what they have to India. But Russia would have to greenlight such a sale.
 
ah , so fast ! Now , Russians arrived in Syria after the Maidan in Kiev . As part of a deal or whatever , after the defeat of Ukranians in Debaltsevo and stuff . America would do no more tricks , Russia would interdict the Iranian success through its proxies . It was an all around embrassment . Congregation held New Turkey not daring to act on its own . The bravest of the brave , them Kurds deciding an accident would happen to them , more specifically their oilwells around if they pushed onto the sea . Without oil money , no general Kurdish uprising in this country as drug profits in collaboration with their so called enemy is incredibly high . Hence they declared to their rank and file that they would respect Israel's future borders . OK with this so far ?

new Turkey should have fought and destroyed the Russian contingent in Syria . No moves to that end , playing games and shooting down one Russian game and expecting the former KGB Colonel to meekly seek forgiveness and so what . In contrast to advice , both foreign and internal , Putin chose the soft approach and attacked New Turkey tourism industry . Like ı don't own any hotels in Antalya , right ? And agriculture by limiting tomato exports to Russia . Not my voters , right ?

after the Disgrace of July 15th , American controlled to clear the impasse , so that the Army of Petrol could be sent to Syria to fight the Iranians and very very slowly interdict the Russians , foremost to save CIA's Jihadists and clear the way for the seperatists' pipeline route to the Mediterranean without accidents . Russian terror bombing drove the civilian support base of the Jihadists out of Syria . Shia proxies proved themselves bolder than the Sunni dregs as the Saudi-Qatar troubles caused a large inflation of daily costs of Jihad . Daily wage was something like maybe 5 dollars , it soon went upto 100 . Jihad priced itself out as the smart ones sat at home . Or came here , slowly invading this country .

the S-400 purchase is an American/NATO/Western choice to pay compensation to Russia very publicly and promising to buy more . It is not New Turkey's call or choice or anything . The delivered battery was throughly examined , is a reason for the Feb 22 affairs as it was not a demon from hell but the developed counter-measures are yet to make it to Ukranian hands . This , will be very publicly disclosed in due course .

combine that with Brexit and the expulsion of New Turkey from the F-35 project opens the way for Britain to sell its old Eurofighters . Like instead of donation to places . People will remember some hedge fund ? Lockmart thought it had sold F-16s for a combined cost of 23 billions . Pretty please , before anything delivered or anything ... You can assume people didn't even tell people to satisfy themselves on their own .

f-24G and 35 . That was the roadmap until 2009 . Until some killswitch debate . F-24G and 6th Gen is next . No place for anyother thing , old , new , used , not yet constructed , nothing .

that's why today our Sunnier Sunni brothers have suddenly attacked Syrian Goverment forces around Halep and like triumphantly advancing . Aleppo to Westerners . Foolishly talking too much talking Americans presumably explained New Turkey's industrial policy to New Turkey as it seems .
 
uhm , they shot down a plane already , but no news or anything of whom yet , if you are to believe the Turkish internet . New Turkey is fully returning to the Western camp . For a day or two . Doge il Muskelli privately said he could provide the planes . Turkish internet already claims it was instead the 1,4 billions spent on the F-35 programme and it has already been split up between people and whatnot . Before it has even arrived here .
 
A judge in Delaware has again rejected Elon Musk's self-pay package of 56,000,000,000 USian dollars.

McCormick found that the board was rife with personal conflicts and stacked with Musk’s close allies, such as his former divorce attorney.​
 
56 billion dollars is how many times the annual wages of all of Tesla's employees?
Tesla and its subsidiaries came has 140,500 employees at the end of 2023. 56 billion is $398,576.5 each, so it is probably a few times the rest of the salary bill I guess.
 
So much for cost-cutting and efficiency, eh?

Wouldn't the core of them be at most at 100.000? And maybe a good part of them (non-engineer etc) have very low pay (?).
 
If Tesla were efficient, it would limit CEO pay to a reasonable multiple of average employee pay. But I guess the billions in taxpayer subsidies and handouts have to go to somebody.
 
Now the Melon Husk is suing everyone, including the State of California. It seems he's going for the full ‘KNEEL BEFORE ME’ backage.
 
Not really. Or maybe yes. Nobody knows the real value of the company and it seems to be able to pull investors into the fold every now and then.
