It emits no more CO2 than the thing being composted soaked up when growing. So it will emit less than the amount the mushrooms absorbed. This is the cycle of life. This is not a problem. The problem is when you emit CEO that has been absorb

Well if you needed further proof, look at the Tesla price action today. It is doubtful that Musk has even started selling, but the price is already collapsing.

Sorry to respond to my own post, but after writing it I ran across and article in Bloomberg that basically confirms what I am saying. Apparently Musk is looking for equity partners to provide the 21 billion equity part of twitter's bid

Why would he intentionally put himself in a situation where there is a 21 billion shortfall?

by hristov 5y ago
He already did. And he got 12.5 billion and that was the maximum the banks were willing to lend him against his stock. He is still 21 billion short.

It is possible. He has to file certain forms when he sells but the SEC often lets large buyers and sellers have a bit of a delay when making these forms public to avoid front running.

He sold that over two months and the overall market was much stronger then. Also those sales were pretty much required for taxes and thus did not send a negative signal to the market. If he sells large amounts of tsla shares to buy twitter,

He is trying to take out a loan here as well. One of the letters included in the story is actually a margin loan commitment from morgan stanley. But that was for only 12.5 billion. This was all he could get against his shares. It does seem

Actually, if you know what you are talking about, this filing actually shows Elon is about 21 billion dollars short. This is because 21 billion dollars of the commitment is coming from him and not from any financial institution. He is a ver

When you liberalize zoning you get slum cities. This has already happened many times in latin america, india and africa. It also happened in America when we had liberalized zoning. (See, for example, the history of San Francisco, and New Yo

I wish these indictments would list the companies involved. I read the indictments and they refer to the companies as Company 1 - x. I also wish they would list the actual promotional material the defendants used. It would be very helpful t

I do not see how this can be an attempt "to create a legislative moat in an area where they're behind". If they are behind in self driving they would not want to raise the stakes by creating this higher liability hurdle which

The NEV standard would be great if people followed speed limits. Unfortunately, the fact that it is 25 mph it does not mean people will drive anywhere close to that. But it is a good start.

Unfortunately this is not it. The game changer will be when they start closing off large parts of cities to cars and limiting them to small, slow and safe golf cart/scooter/bike type vehicles. Everything else will fall into place

Unfortunately sometimes laws are made not for the best benefit of society as a whole but for the benefit of a powerful or well positioned minority. Now check out the Colorado law. It says that non-competes are forbidden except for four exce

There are few trading firms in California because (i) most trading in the US is done in New York and surrounding areas during New York hours, and (ii) New York is very far from California. If a trading firm is going to use human traders the

"I am not the only one who believes that in the long term the atomic bombs saved millions of Japanese lives." You are absolutely wrong about that. A cursory examination would reveal that Japan was ready to surrender before the bom

I don't need wireless on something like this. Sure it will help in some cases, but if you need wifi connectivity, then you can usually use a full laptop while lounging on a couch. And you do not really need this. I am sure most people

That is a very good example, and thank you for sharing your experience. It should be noted that in the original article the test subjects (1) take Psilocybin only once and (2) are followed from this dose by hours of therapy by a professiona

Nuclear power has plenty of problems even without the association with bombs. How about the very real association with accidents with civilian nuclear reactors. And how about the fact that after each one of them the industry always said tha

The thing about power chips is that smaller feature size is not necessarily a good thing. With logic chips, you are essentially moving data and doing math. And you have electrons here and there representing data. It does not matter how many
