Can you point me to some blog/video that really lays out how all this is supposed to work. I don't necessarily mean the technical side but how a bitcoin world would look like.

Starlink will need a license to broadcast in the country. And the dishes also need to transmit which will give away your position.

Unless you're sick and in pain, in which case you'll be wishing for it. I also don't fear not existing. But I do fear the possibility of an afterlife.

Just because you enjoy crushing business rivals doesn't mean you also want kids to die young. I think Gates simply enjoys the challenge and the technical side of things.

IIRC the Foundation is supposed to close up shop 20 years after both of them die. I guess Bill is aware of the potential for abuse. They do not accept donations anyway. Between Gates and Buffet, they have all the resources they need.

They will absolutely step in when Apple decides to fight the case in court risking the exposure of sensitive info.

Definitely stupid. I want to know what his lawyers think of this. Surely they would have impressed on him the odds of success if it went to trial. How long will SEC case take?

Musk was talking about the Saudis - they were the ones who showed interest. The saudis had the money for whatever. It was upto to Musk/Tesla to make it happen. I definitely think he should have taken the deal. The tweet was reckless.

I think Musk sees his tweet as "I have a possible buyer". Funding was secured in the sense that the potential buyer had the funds.

Not me. Tesla is already in a precarious position and I expect it to fold pretty soon if Musk departs. Either that or they massively scale back their operations - in which case I will have no further interest in the company.

Tesla's goal was to accelerate EV adoption. They either succeed or they die. I don't think they have any interest in being some niche luxury electric car manufacturer.

Not sure that is applicable here. His advice is basically to minimize potential regret. A variation of "better to try and fail than never try at all".

No, a big part of owning a private jet is to be able to go wherever you want whenever you want.

People care about privacy to the extent that they don't want people in their social circle knowing stuff. They don't care so much about a faceless organization taking it.

Musk said that they might attempt second stage recovery late next year for the Falcon Heavy.

For something like "Uber Air Taxi", they should probably do away with pilots altogether and have it work on autopilot.

Blue Origin is ahead of SpaceX when it comes to their engines. I actually think the similarity is a lot like Waymo and Tesla with respect to their self driving programs. A billion dollars is a lot of money for a company that has very few la

Well, the natural law here is that we need access to resources to do anything. And money is basically a proxy for it. Until we solve the resource problem, I think other economic systems would eventually run into trouble as well. Its human n
