SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT:
A man who owes much of his vast fortune to government contracts paying his private companies (#SpaceX, #Tesla, #Starlink, #Neurolink, even X now) thinks the PRIVATE company known as #Amtrak needs to be "privatized" so that it is forced to compete for its gov't contracts?
Do I have that right?

"Dolphins surround space capsule after its return to Earth in magical moment" by @GlobalNews - Drone video shows curious dolphins swimming around #SpaceX #CrewDragon Freedom after splashdown. Since #Starliner test pilot astronauts Wilmore & Williams retired from the US Navy each at the rank of Captain (equiv of Colonel in Army/Air Force ranks), it seems fitting about dolphins showing up as the beginning of their welcome party. https://globalnews.ca/news/11088250/dolphins-nasa-space-capsule-return-to-earth/ #NASA #Crew9 #space
Dolphins greet NASA astronauts after splashdown. A great sci-fi image.

by Nafeez Ahmed in Byline Supplement on Substack
“Top DOGE operative is linked to a Russian American network of anti-West pro-Kremlin monarchists, inspired by the 1930s counter-democracy ‘Technocracy’ movement tied to Musk’s grandfather”
Months late: Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore back on earth
A few days on board the ISS turned into months for Suni Williams and Barry Wilmore due to problems with the Boeing Starline. Now they have returned.

"A Secret Service spokesperson said: 'Only apps that meet GSA’s security and privacy standards are allowed.' [Jake] Williams [of Hunter Strategy, a cybersecurity company] said: “It introduces another attack point. Why introduce that risk?'"

94% Won't Buy A Tesla!
A survey of over 100,000 Germans revealed that 94% won’t buy a Tesla vehicle.
It doesn’t bode well for the automaker, whose sales had already been falling off a cliff in the important European market.

“It’s not a revolution; it is a nightmare of twisted monopolistic privatisation and the idiotic inefficiency that comes alongside that.”
Written about SpaceX’s Starship but could have easily been written about capitalism in general.

Elon's Exploding Rockets Are 100% Wasteful Corruption
They cost taxpayers $$$ Billions.
They will never work.
It's one massive scam.

"Additional point of attack": White House directly connected to Starlink
The seat of the US President is now directly connected to Starlink thanks to a "gift". A cyber security expert speaks of an unnecessary risk.
Um Monate verspätet: "Gestrandete" NASA-Astronauten haben ISS verlassen
Eigentlich sollten Suni Williams und Barry Wilmore nur Tage auf der ISS bleiben, dann musste ihr Raumschiff leer zurück. Nun konnten sie die Heimreise antreten.
#ElonMusk’s #Starlink Expands Across #WhiteHouse Complex
Starlink, the satellite internet service operated by #Musk’s #SpaceX, is now accessible across the White House campus. It is the latest installation of the Wi-Fi network across the govt since Musk joined the #Trump administration as an *unpaid* [if you don’t count all the extra contracts he’s gotten] adviser.

@CliftonR
there are so, so, _so_ many problems with this article and it's assertions. the faux-pas comparison between SV/SS/SLS, a total misattribution of the causes of the leak, bogus claims, thoughtless ramblings.. they all evince a total lack of understanding and research into rocketry.
please, please understand: hating musk is not a catchall card to discredit the very real advancements being made at his companies.
