Because a LOT of people are missing the point:
No, Elon Musk is NOT serious about putting a million data centres into orbit. It can't work: laws of physics say "nope".
But SpaceX is expected to go public this year.
Elon is talking up his company's future prospects in front of gullible investors because he needs a growth narrative beyond Starlink, which is already priced in. Something to justify the Starship proram beyond NASA's lunar ambitions.
So it's salesman's bullshit, lies for fools.

@cstross it’s interesting how he keeps talking about solar energy, still, while the rest of the right wing mysteriously seem not to. How far off the predictions in your essay about him & space & solar energy collection are we, I wonder. (Did he get lapped by the cost of batteries dropping as they have? It seems likely.)

@cstross and there is the Kessler syndrome to look forward to.

@cstross the fact they are stupid enough to fall for it is the thing I'm finding infuriating (& I've had enough personal experience of investors, them thinking they are brilliant all the while knowing nothing and constant group think to be pretty bitter about this) - like - this, OBVIOUS, grift - works
the worship of the rich, as though they are somehow more insightful than the rest of us, while watching them exposed as dubious people & marks falling for cheap tricks is depressing.

@cstross I wouldn't put it past him to actually believe his own bullshit though.
He'd be "Yes, it breaks a law, big deal, we have lots of lawyers", without actually knowing that no, lawyers can't argue against physics. -

@dubiousblur Remember he owns massive battery factories. However, China more or less has a monopoly on PV panel manufacturing.

@cstross And the announcement timed after he appeared in the epstein files.
Now we're talking about this BS instead..

@cstross @dubiousblur I remember reading somewhere that in China BYD makes batteries for Tesla, so they may well be losing their edge there as well.

@cstross it also provides a fig leaf of justification for a public SpaceX to shovel money to xAI when “because I want to” becomes harder to justify. They’ll need somebody to provide expert design partnership to solve these difficult technical problems. (Or the other way around if required.)

@cstross It was obvious bollocks (just like hyperloop, the boring company etc…), just I didn’t know why he was boosting it as I didn’t realise he was planning an IPO this year. Tosser.

@cstross I'm pretty sure he also wants his name in the news with stories newer than his email begging Epstein to let him come rape some kids, as if he thinks everyone will forget he's a nonce.

Lying worked for Tesla, so he wants to pull the same thing again.

serata gli scontri stavano andando verso la conclusione, i manifestanti si erano dileguati da corso Regina, quello di Askatasuna, dove si sono svolti per la maggior parte, per scappare verso il lungo Dora attraverso i giardinetti che portano al Campus Einaudi. Migliaia di persone si sono riversate in quel poco spazio e pian piano sono riuscite ad arrivare dall'altra parte, sulla Dora appunto, anche perché le forze di polizia arrivavano da entrambi i lati e la paura era quella di @emama @news

tagliato) che poi rimbalza ovunque. La notizia in poco tempo diventa quella principale, oggi ci aprono i giornali, la premier in ospedale a stringere mani, dopo che a Niscemi si è fatta vedere dieci giorni dopo, ma non dalla popolazione per paura di contestazione. Fortuna vuole che quella scena l'abbia vista con i miei occhi, ero a cinque metri, ancora più vicina del videomaker che si trovava alle mie spalle, in mezzo al corso, diviso dalle barriere del tram. A quel punto della @emama @news

isolato". Ci sono numerosi video di persone a terra circondate e manganellate quando sono a terra (anche fotografi, che non finiranno in home page), ho visto teste aperte, labbra spaccate, persone intossicate dal lacrimogeni che hanno vomitato in strada. Almeno in trenta sono andati negli ospedali torinesi, allertati la sera prima, l'ultima volta l'emergenza era stata data nel periodo Covid, per capirci. Molti altri curati sul posto, non si avvicinano ai pronto soccorsi per paura @emama @news

di denunce. Ora al di là di tutto, questo volevo raccontare, solo perché ero lì, di analisi sulle violenze e il loro significato ne trovate altrove, non aggiungerò altro, possiamo parlarne di persona. La giornata di ieri invece la trovate sul giornale, scritta insieme a Giansandro Merli, o nei commenti. #Torino #manifestazioneAskatasuna #scontritorino #ritarapisardi @news

dietro arrivano delle urla, "basta, basta, lasciamolo stare". I militanti si allontanano e finalmente arriva un collega. In due poi lo trascinano via. Doppia ritirata, a quel punto mi allontano anche io, non era rimasto più nessuno. Cosa capiamo quando vediamo un video? Dov'è la nostra capacità di analisi? Quali domande ci facciamo? Cosa è successo prima, come interpreto quei pochi secondi, saranno tagliati ad arte? Ieri sera leggo "il poliziotto assaltato, circondato, preso e @emama @news

essere chiusi contro i cancelli, motivo per cui alcuni hanno aperto un varco tra le grate. Il tutto per fortuna si è svolto abbastanza tranquillamente, in molti urlavano di fare piano, con calma e non agitarsi. Nel frattempo continuava incessante il lancio dei lacrimogeni. In corso Regina ormai erano in pochi. Sono tornata indietro per controllare, si parla di 20-30 persone al massimo. Mi affaccio e arrivano lacrimogeni ad altezza uomo (cosa vietata), una ragazza di fianco a me @emama @news

viene colpita, un'altro batte sull'angolo del muro e mi sfiora. Indietreggiamo, capisco che da lì sono un bersaglio, quindi torno sul corso e mi nascondo tra le auto. A questo punto vedo arrivare da sinistra una squadra di venti agenti in antisommossa che corrono per manganellare quei dieci più vicini, ormai deboli di numero. Sono pronta ad urlare "stampa", convinta le avrei prese anche io, abituata a vestirmi sempre di nero poi. Uno di questi, esce dallo schieramento, parte da @emama @news

solo e si allontana di 15 metri, per inseguire un paio di persone, mi pare una avesse un'asta in mano. Le inizia a manganellare, uno finisce a terra. Altri manifestanti arrivano in soccorso prendono il poliziotto e lo sbattono via, lui cade a terra e da lì ci sono quei secondi immortalati dal video ormai virale. Perde casco non allacciato e poi i due colpi di martelletto (non martello). Mi giro e guardo la squadra, nessuno arriva a salvarlo, eppure l'hanno visto. Intanto da @emama @news
