It is remarkable what he has done for cars because he has pushed normal car makers to develope their own models to keep up and also he lets them use his patents for some of the tech aswell.

Yeah that's is rather remarkable
How many companies just decide to make something (like a car) and change it inside (ie the engine) yet somehow it's become huge
I mean nissan is huge ev side but they already made cars

Not sure what you mean by "if" ?
Part of his idea was to make every user require verification, people tend to be less offensive/abrasive/hateful (tick as appropriate) when their true identity is on show. Recruitment folk, bosses, family members etc all seeing what is being posted.

I'll set Musk the challenge of building a time machine because I want to see the future and would like a day trip to Victorian England.
The only slight snag is that time may not exist at all.
Time May Not Exist at All, According to Physics (sciencealert.com)
What we think is time is just a series of events with causes we come across.

interesting.. have put it on my lunch time reading list today.
first reaction... it sounds logical, but when you depict a series of non-coinciding events on an axis --> the axis will be called 'time' (in theory you could call it anything). Same way as distance is a gap between two non-overlapping objects either linearly (x axis) or height (y-axis)
Will read it and come back

If he had changed his mind and not bought Twitter, he could have given EVERYBODY in America $1m and still had change

Did he not already pay about $10b in tax last year. While it made him the highest taxed individual in history, I am assuming those 10b could be easily distributed to every American and still have change. So did the IRS do that? Imagine if someone in the UK paid that kind of taxes. The chancellor would be camping outside his house.

Only if he'd borrowed about 65Billion!

Surely if a billion is one thousand million, then if he borrowed 65 billion he could only give every American USD1,000?

I was using the same scale as BobMac ('old' Billion = Million Million). That's where any fault lies.
I agree though. Oh and America is a bit bigger than just US too!

Preferred if he spent the Twitter money on making his cars look better
