Elon Musk. Twitter. Babylon Bee.

Ouch....

That comes to about $131 million per day since he bought Twitter 220 days ago.

In an interview about a month ago, he said he knew he was paying twice as much as it was worth. He bought it for the X app, not for the current value.

So you would zap yourself every time you walk across the road?
Like wireless phone chargers. No shocking. The power lines aren’t charging the car, they are connected to the buried chargers. And the car software would measure the amount of electricity to be paid for.
That’s what I’m talking about.
A Toyota EV drove 1,200 miles without stopping to charge thanks to electric roads with wireless charging

Electreon, an Israeli startup founded in 2013, is developing electric roadways that can charge moving vehicles wirelessly, potentially eliminating the need for lengthy pit stops or plugging in. To demonstrate the tech's potential, Electreon drove an electric Toyota for 1,206 miles straight on a test track that had its wireless charging coils embedded under the asphalt.

That's about five times farther than a normal EV can travel on a full charge.

The vehicle drove in circles for 1,200 miles, which is a bit different than driving straight.

Yes, what a queer English language, in which it is grammatically correct to say that "the vehicle drove in circles for 1,200 miles straight without recharging."

Regarding Matt Walsh’s documentary: “WHAT IS A WOMAN?” (now available to view, no charge, on Twitter)
i still do not follow Twitter.

MATT WALSH / The Attempt To Silence Me Fails Again / 13:32min
Description:
My documentary won the battle against those who were trying to silence me.

Evidently, Elon Musk continues to have employee problems.

“Now Elon Musk PROMOTES conservative documentary 'What is a Woman' after he was accused of 'throttling' free speech when Twitter censored it on the platform: 'Every parent should watch this' “
What is a Woman? shows a Daily Wire columnist questioning the transgender movement and what it means to be 'a woman'
The film was restricted on Twitter on Thursday because it allegedly misgendered trans people
Restrictions were removed from the film after Musk became involved
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... itter.html

“Musk Chastises Twitter Team That Canceled Deal to Host What Is a Woman Documentary”
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dai ... cumentary/

i have viewed a number of clips, but not the entire documentary. (not yet)

i think this was an important decision by Musk, to allow it, and to let employees go over it. i’m not sure if they left voluntarily, or were asked to leave.

- - - - - - -

i’m hoping Matt Walsh will do a similar documentary on: “WHAT IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER?”

Yet somehow you know about things that are posted there, and want to discuss them.
Hmmm.

Do you have a Twitter account? Do you follow any twitterers? tweeters? those who twit? whatever they are called. Or is it just the @Twitter account that you don't follow?

Yes, i often view what is posted here. i don’t have an account. i don’t follow those who twit (except for mike) lol - on forum, i try to notice his posts. i’m likely to look at what is shared here.

i guess i got the idea to not follow because boot used to post all kinds of things he didn’t like on twitter. i advised him (and everyone) to leave twitter. (i don’t follow other social media stuff, either.) i see some public things. nothing tempting enough to sign up.

i see more than enough without signing up.

i just viewed WHAT IS A WOMAN? in entirety. Lots of good points.
It’s shameful anyone would think it should be kept from view or banned from adults.

Odd what the mainstream views as desirable for children+teens, versus what should be hidden or banned from adults. :shock:
Odd, and 100% self-serving.

But you can't follow mike on Twitter without an account. It's not possible. You can search for him, but when you click the Follow button you have to log in or create an account.

If boot doesn't like something I'm not sure why he would post it on Twitter, or why you would see it if he did. But if you were following him, you could simply Unfollow; no need to delete your account because of one person's tweets. Strange.

All you have to do is bookmark each person you want to “follow”. No account needed.
