@MarioNawfal Not sure he could merge them as SpaceX is required to follow certain federal laws due to rockets. Would want to have to do both companies under the same umbrella.

🇺🇸Chamath is calling it: Tesla and SpaceX merge after the IPO. 99.999% odds. The logic is simple. They already share robots, fabs, and xAI tech. A merger kills the constant noise about Elon splitting his time. One company. One valuation. One Elon. If it happens, it would be the largest corporate merger in history.

@Moonlight_myths Did you calculate in power, heat, internet, water, and etc.

My mom got mad when I told her I would rather live on my own that keep paying her $600 a month in rent. I'm 25 years old and have been paying $60 a week in rent to my parents for a while now. I recently landed a decent paying job and this morning, I received a message from my mom telling me that from now on, the rent would be $150 per week. I text her back, saying I would rather live elsewhere. I pay for my own food and I'm not willing to pay $150 per week just for a room to sleep in at my own mothers house. With that kind if money, I could rent a small apartment or even split the rent with a friend for less.

@rawsalerts You take a seat, a small vacuum is created to recover any o2 before you go. You go potty, push a button and off it goes to space. The door reveals and the vacuum is let go. Your all done. How hard it that to make?

🚨#BREAKING: Crews on the Artemis II mission are reporting that the onboard toilet is broken again with a frozen vent believed to be the cause of the latest malfunction.

@rawsalerts Guess they should have tested the living area first before launch. Could have brought it further north and let it experience colder weather to test it's functionality out.

@McfarlaneGlenda They won't they will just print more money. Take a percentage of it and move it to another currency as the dollar keeps losing value.

So how long do you figure it will be till the government runs out of other people’s money?

Yes we can, it's called stop the wasted spending. Stop sending billions to other countries. Stop bailing out failed companies. If your going to give a company enough money to buy 50% of it. Become 50% owner and take in 50% of the profits to payback the loan. Instead we give loans with no payment date, next to no interest. Sometimes not ever taking in a payment and still letting to company declare bankruptcy. We don't have an income problem that more taxes or even half the taxes are needed. We have a spending problem.

The Conservative obsession with low taxes at all costs, as opposed to low taxes as a preferential position, is so indicative of the intellectual atrophy of our party and movement. We have to reduce the deficit and the national debt. We cannot instinctively reach for vanishingly small tax decreases as the bulk of our main offer to the public. We can win without running on these tiny tax cuts and we have a real fiscal mess to deal with.

@AaronGunn It's also time to call out the price gouging as we (Western Canada) don't buy any middle east oil or fuel. Eastern Canada can thank their provincial leaders that stopped the west- east pipeline.

Ridiculous. 4th-largest oil reserves in the world. $2.09 per litre at the pumps. It's time to build pipelines, refineries and an energy policy that puts Canada, and Canadians, first! 🇨🇦

@Concern70732755 No, but I'm willing to layoff 50% of public employees and stop all out of country spending.

Are you prepared to pay more in taxes to ensure that Canada meets their NATO 5% commitments ? Thoughts ?

More leftist thinking of those that don't want to work. There shouldn't be any level of tax amounts. Flat percentage of all wages, most estimates out at between 10-15% to match current tax income. So where you make $10k or $10m you both pay the same percentage. That is true equality when it comes to a fair tax system.

Income tax rates should be 0% for poor people, 25% for middle class people, 40% for rich people, and 70% on every dollar past $10M. There should also be a 5% wealth tax on anyone with more than $1B in assets.

@ForMYCanada @grok how much truth is there to these numbers?

Anyone care to answer? #cdnpoli #gastax #alberta

Agreed for far too long the other chip manufactures held a monopoly. They controlled the output to keep prices high and in some ways for political leverage for three countries they were in. So not only were we paying high prices but we were holding back innovation. They maximized profit off each chip instead of making more and increasing profit by number of sales. Because it's easier to control the prices then it is to upgrade manufacturing to meet demand.

My idea of a good time is working with amazing engineers to create incredible technology 🤩 The Tesla chip research fab will have all the machines needed to do logic, memory, packing & masks in one building for a lightning fast development cycle. Heaven 💫

Majority of the time is because it was being mismanaged and cost the taxpayer more than it gave. Canada Post being a good example. I agree on theory some things sound like a good ideal to have government own it and run it. But unless it's managed correctly it quickly becomes a bad deal for taxpayers. Take arenas as an example. Say the MPF (Municipal, Provincial, Federal) decide it would generate good GDP to have a NHL team in a city. Maybe only the province and municipality. Than build it under the ownership of said taxpayers. Rent it out to an NHL owner for the use of the team and rent it to others (concerts, shows, rallies) the proceeds are the income to pay off the debt to build the arena and is upkeep. But as the taxpayers are owners, attending events should be cheap if not nearly free, the taxpayer is the owner. The vast majority of the profits should go towards paying for other items that don't generate enough money to pay for itself or upkeep. Schools, Healthcare, new infrastructure projects. Not some managers pockets. The NHL team will make income of TV and merchandise or non-taxpayer ticket sales. Food vendors will make money by selling during events, of which a reasonable rent should be charged but not so much that they need to charge $10+ for a beer.

Liberals built a national energy company so Cdns could benefit from Cdn resources. Conservatives sold it off. Petro-Can is now part of Suncor, a private company. The public stake is gone. And this is the pattern: Build it,sell it, lose control and says it’s the Libs fault.

Sad time when our government on power let our society reach a point that e need to do this. Go after the radicals, go after the ones that publication speak out against these peaceful religions. There was a time not long ago and decades after 2 world wars that purple didn't even lock their doors, kids played outside until the street lights came on. What happened? Unfiltered immigration happened, softness of justice against crimes that went against our basic charter of rights and freedoms happened. We don't need new laws, we need a justice system that follows our current laws without bias and according to our charter.

TORONTO Police deploying task force Guardian, armed officers protecting places of worship, critical infrastructure, and downtown locations 🤯 What the HECK is happening in Canada 🇨🇦 Never witnessed anything at this level here before 👀

@Girlscout05 @r0ck3t23 Oh don't get me wrong, I plan on having my own personnel robot to take care of things around the house. But this is so my time can be used to work extra hours to pay for a vacation i wish to go on instead of cutting grass or vacuuming the carpets.

@MikePunko @r0ck3t23 Let the robots have it all including Congress and all government positions as well as judges and police. Everyone is so used to being controlled they doing even think hey, this could work for my business too. If you ont have one, then crete one! Sky is the limit!

Elon Musk was asked what happens to people when the machines no longer need them. He didn’t soften it. Musk: “There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. These are not things I wish would happen. They probably will.” Sit with that second sentence. He is not celebrating. He is not selling a vision. He is telling you what he believes is inevitable and admitting he wishes it weren’t. That is not optimism. That is a confession. Most people are still arguing over whether this is real. Whether it’s their job or someone else’s. Whether the timeline is years away or decades. Musk isn’t arguing. He resolved it. And it bothers him. Musk: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice.” Not a political position. Not a utopian proposal. A concession. We are building something so capable that human labor stops being a required input to the economy. The machine does not need rest. It does not need a salary. It does not call in sick. It does not ask for a raise. And it improves every single month. The jobs that feel safe right now are not safe because they are irreplaceable. They feel safe because the technology hasn’t fully arrived yet. It’s arriving. Musk: “How do people then have meaning? If there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you feel useless?” He said that is the harder problem. Not the economics. Not the policy. Not how you fund UBI or make it hold. The harder problem is what happens to a person who built their entire identity around being needed. That is most people. You were trained from childhood to believe your value is what you produce. That your worth is what you earn. That rest is something you survive the week to reach, not something you deserve simply by existing. When the machine removes the need for your labor, that belief does not update. It breaks. The people least prepared for that moment are the ones who worked the hardest. The ones who took the most pride in being indispensable. The ones who made work the whole answer. Losing the job is survivable. Losing the reason to get up is not. That is what Musk is actually asking. Not how do we pay people. How do we build a world where people still feel like they matter when the economy no longer needs them. Nobody in power is seriously working on that answer. The machine didn’t wait.

@0nlyk1tt3n You had 28 years to do the paperwork. FAFO

Her husband is being taken by ICE after being in America illegally for over 3 decades. Be Honest Is this really what you voted for?

Sure but it goes both ways. When a man opens a door, say thank you. A real man let's it ends there, a creep will think it goes further and all for your number or some other BS. Recognize the men and thank them as you deem needed. But stop pampering the boys that treat you as a sex object.

Can we actually do that?

Sounds somewhat reasonable on the surface. But reality shows that a good percentage of the teachers don't have money skills either, likely they will use it on their morning coffees. Are the teachers getting the best deal on prices? Likely not, but you can only mostly buy office supplies at staples. A remedy to this would be to allow teachers to buy anywhere but require them to submit the recipes for reimbursement, based on an approved item type list. Pre-approval can be done if the teacher thinks the item might be questioned. If they don't do this and it get denied, it's on them.

A classroom has typically 37 kids so that card will only cover $20 per child. For the entire school year. And the teachers can only use this card at Staples, an ally of Ford’s. They can’t use it at say Amazon to get better prices or even Dollarama. THIS IS NOT SUPPORT.

@VernaPolitics @Matt_Pinner She's a woodwork, I think she is stable mentally. Smart with the trade skills.

@Matt_Pinner Ask the guys who are only into body parts— Big boobs & ass And not into minds/ smarts & sophistication !

Is this appropriate attire for woodworking? 🤨

@Matt_Pinner Yup safety glasses and hearing protection. All good
