@steezysteve78 @THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark McDonnell Douglas (owned by Boeing since the 90s) built a lot of the early us rockets and rocket components in the 70s

@fortwitno @THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark Boeing is going to space??? 😂

Cofounder got 0.06%. Brutal.

@steezysteve78 @THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark Yep, have for a long time. As you might recall, a year or two ago spacex had to rescue astronauts stuck on the ISS due to Boeing’s Starliner being deemed too risky to return the astronauts.

@steezysteve78 @THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark Ever heard of Boeing

@fortwitno @THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark Ever heard of a monopoly.

@hissgoescobra Lincoln loved wrestling bro

I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

@steezysteve78 @THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark If spacex’s bids were so bad, why didn’t any other aerospace companies outbid them?

@fortwitno @THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark 20 billions in bids to make themselves 100 times that. Yeah that seems reasonable and fair.

@THEFEELISREALL @TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark U know they won bids to provide services, right?

@TeslaPatriot @BergsenBri66275 @nickmmark Yes we the taxpayers moron, you know the ones that fund nasa?

@jaredlandry @RTNToronto To be fair the opposite is true as well

@RTNToronto 99% of Canadian don’t know or care about Bosnia’s history.

@wayneleedsfan It’s only been 16 years since we had to listen to those godawful buzzers in South Africa that buzzed throughout all 90 minutes. I’ll gladly take music.

Why are Americans obsessed with playing music at any opportunity during the match. Pack it in.

@hankgreen If it was so bad, why didn’t any other governments or nonprofits step into the funding gap?

It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.

@GovKathyHochul Isn’t this New Jersey?

Dream. Team.

After years of planning, the World Cup is finally here.

What a day.

@TrungTPhan Need the “Two world wars and one World Cup” ad

at least slide this classic ad in

The World Cup’s mandatory 3-minute “hydration break” is most devious ad unit inevntion since YouTube’s triple pre-roll back-to-back unskippable ad. Across 104 matches, FIFA now has 624 minutes (10 hours) of new ad inventory. That’s total of $500m potential new ad revenue that didn’t exist before (~$400k per 30-second slot). Hydration breaks in previous year were called if heat/humidity crossed a threshold. An estimated 200-250 million people watched Brazil vs. Morocco (Super Bowl is 130 million-ish, but still juiciest ad rates at $8m per 30 second spot). *** WSJ says ad range start at $250k (early games) to $750k or more for top-attraction matches (eg US games) for 30-second slot: wsj.com/sports/soccer/…

@RoKhanna We already give an unbelievable amount of money to the govt for those things.

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

@RoKhanna Nothing is stoping democrats from voluntarily paying more taxes if they think giving more money to the government is a good thing.

@sillymechanix @ErikVoorhees Correction - any car company could make electric cars and capitalize on the incentives. Tesla was the only company to successfully do it

@ErikVoorhees you realize the government propped up Tesla with all the incentives they kicked back correct.

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

@FT Dude gives us mass market electric cars and fast, cheap internet that can be accessed from literally anywhere. With all due respect, fuck off

Elon Musk is a real-life Bond villain ft.trib.al/zAOuVKk

@TrueFader @nicochristie lol ok bro

@nicochristie I know you’re trying to dunk on California, but you know Musk is largely responsible for the delays and runaway costs, right?

Pretty crazy that Elon is only worth $1 Trillion Thats like 200 miles of California high speed rail

@coolguyzune @freedomfromlib @Rothmus Boeing, Lockheed had multi-decade head starts and got their lunch eaten by space-x

@fortwitno @freedomfromlib @Rothmus sure any son of apartheid with a family emerald mine could set right up

He did. That’s how he got the trillion.

@freedomfromlib @Rothmus Every other car company had access to the electric vehicle subsidies that made Tesla rich.

@fortwitno @Rothmus How many people do you know that have enough money to lobby the gov for that or even take advantage of NASA’s incredibly underfunded budget?

@freedomfromlib @Rothmus Gov subsidies that anyone else could have also taken advantage of.

@Rothmus Gov subsidies and a Dem gov gave him his wealth.

@BenGunnEx @cafreiman Helping paralyzed people use computers with their brains

@cafreiman Name one. No rush. Just ONE problem he has solved.

Elon Musk became a trillionaire precisely because he solved important problems.
