Der Obernazi Elon Musk ergreift das Ruder
« on: October 28, 2022, 09:35:16 AM »

Das ist kein bloßes "Hallo, ich bin der Neue", sondern das ist eine Kriegserklärung. Deswegen mit dem Text aus den Sreenshots als Klartext.

Ganz abgesehen davon, daß Elon Musk lügt, kann man hier schon die neue Methode sehen: ein Angriff auf die Firmen, die Werbung bei Twitter betreiben dürfen. Richtig gelesen. Dürfen!

Die Werbung wird nach ihrer angeblichen Relevanz sortiert. Das bedeutet, daß man sich als Hersteller oder Händler anstrengen muß, um seine Werbung überhaupt bei Twitter zeigen zu dürfen.

Was wird die Folge sein? Die Preise für die Werbung werden steigen. Twitter soll zur Elite werden. Zutritt nur noch für Zahlungskräftige. Dazu paßt, daß Elon Musk vor kurzem vor Aktionären nicht nur von der radikalen Verringerung der Zahl der Angestellten bei Twitter redete, sondern auch erhebliche Gewinne in Aussicht stellte. Mehr Gewinn durch weniger Ausgaben (weniger Personal) und mehr Einnahmen durch höhere Preise?

Es geht nicht um Geld? Doch, und wie!

Außer die Surfer zu schikanieren und zu zensieren ist die neue Marschrichtung darüber hinaus das Schikanieren und Zensieren der Werbenden.

Am Ranking wird sich nichts ändern. Bloß der Preis wird steigen. Alles wird teurer.

Freiheit ist unbezahlbar.

Zieht Elon Musk den Stecker!

Dear Twitter Advertisers

"I wanted to reach out personally to share my motivation in acquiring Twitter. There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason why I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.

In the relentless pursuit of clicks, much of traditional media has fueled and catered to those polarized themes, as they believe that is what brings in the money, but, in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost."






https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgFARMTUoAAFAI7?format=jpg&name=medium

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn't do it because it would be easy. I didn't do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failure in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

that said, Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences! In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature."





https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FgFAROFVsAEfyu7?format=jpg&name=medium

"I also very much believe that advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain and inform you; it can show you a service or product or medical treatment that you never knew existed, but is right for you.
For this to be true, it is essential to show Twitter users advertising that is as relevant as possible to their needs. Low relevancy ads are spam, but highly relevant ads are actually content!"

Fundamentally, Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform in the world that strengthens your brand and grows your enterprise. To everyone who has partnered with us, I thank you. Let us build something extraordinary together."

Er will Geld. 20 Dollar pro Monat. Das sind 240 Dollar im Jahr. Dafür bekommt man im normalen Internet mehrere Domains mit Webspace und guten Service.

Warum sollte jemand so dämlich sein, 240 Dollar aus dem Fenster zu werfen für ein dämliches blaues Häkchen?

Warum? Genetik. Die Leute SIND so kotzmäßig Blöde.

Elon Nazi Musk just fired half of the Twitter employees.
« Reply #4 on: November 04, 2022, 09:01:34 AM »

News is out: Nazi Elon Musk just fired half of the Twitter employees.

In other words: Chaos. Total chaos.

What will the remaining half do? Who are they? What are their jobs? Selling advertisement slots?

By the way: Musk paid 44 billion Dollars for a company which is worth only 10 billion Dollars. So he threw more than 30 billion Dollars out of the window. What for? For the fun of firing half of the employees?

Looks like ... let me calculate that ... he paid 30 billion Dollars for firing half of 7500 employees.

Well, well, that is 30000 million Dollars divided by 3750 employees.

THE ANSWER TO ALL QUESTIONS IS 8

Yes, believe it or not: Elon Musk paid 8 million Dollars for each employee.

8 million Dollars per nose. Let that sink in.  :P

Now, wait! Just to get the figures right: Even if Elon Musk fires ALL 7500 employees, the amount per employee is 4 million Dollars.

So, how man employees Elon Musk will fire, it will cost him AT LEAST 4 million Dollars per nose.

Was in dem Video gesagt wird, ist bei dem Genuschel der beiden Armleuchter, wovon einer Elon Musk ist und der andere zu seinem Glück unbenannt bleibt, fast nicht zu verstehen.

Unsere bekannten Schnellmerker regen sich darüber auf, daß man ohne das Häkchen untergehen wird.

Himmel, Arsch und Wolkenbruch! Die hintervotzige Nazi-Strategie ist doch schon von Jack Dorsey eingeführt worden. VOR JAHREN!

Aber die bekannten Schnellmerker, für alles zu blöde, würden es noch immer nicht beemerken, wenn es ihnen der Elon Musk nicht wörtlich erzählen würde. Und selbst jetzt sind sie zu dämlich um zu begreifen, WIE das ganze System Twitter funktionert - und schon ewig funktioniert hat.

Schon vor Jahren war zu bemerken, daß von Jenen, denen man folgt, immer weniger zu sehen ist, und daß man immer mehr NEUE vorgesetzt bekam. Warum war das so? Weil Twitter Einem immer neue Richtungen vorgab. Das ist genau der gleiche Scheißdreck wie bei Youtube. Man sucht dort etwas Bestimmtes, aber es werden Einem immer mehr und mehr ANDERE Dinge vorgesetzt. Es kostet sehr viel Mühe, sich den unerwünschten Müll vom Hals zu halten. ZUSÄTZLICH bekommt man immer weniger Dinge gezeigt, die man sehen will. Sie werden Einem entzogen.

Es ist ganz und gar nicht so, daß man sich frei herausuchen kann, was man sehen will. Sondern man hat zu kuschen. Wer sich bei Twitter dagegen auflehnte und sich über den angekarrten Mist beschwerte, wurde schikaniert. Und auch kurz und bündig gesperrt.

Daß man bei Twitter immer weniger angezeigt bekam von denen, denen man folgte, war erschreckend. Es kostete Mühe, nachzuforschen, was die Anderen geschrieben hatten. Es wurde Einem vorsätzlich vorenthalten. Und alles das noch ohne den Blödsinn mit den Häkchen.

Man muß das auch aus der Sicht der Statistik betrachten. Twitter zeigt einem nur eine sehr kleine Zahl von Tweets pro Stunde an. Mehr bekommt man nicht, egal wieviel die Anderen getweetet haben.

Angenommen, die Anderen haben 10000 Tweets abgeschickt. Eine Stunde hat 3600 Sekunden. Wieviel neue Tweets bekommt man innerhalb von 10 Sekunden angezeigt? Es müßten pro Sekunde rund 3 Tweets durchrauschen. Das wären in 10 Sekunden 30 Tweets, und das kontinuierlich. Geschieht das? NEIN! Warum nicht? Weil Twitter den Großteil der Tweets unterschlägt. Man bekommt nur eine Auswahl vorgesetzt:

Friß, Vogel, oder stirb!

Und das war schon vor Jahren so. Es war zum Kotzen.

Hinzu kam, und das war schon sehr bald zu sehen, daß die guten Leute aus Twitter verschwanden. Entweder wurden Sie rausgekürzt und man bekam ihre Tweets nicht mehr zu sehen, oder sie hatten die Nase voll und tweeteten nicht mehr. Oder sie löschten ihre Accounts.

Auf Twitter war (fast) nur noch Straßenpöbel. Und das schon vor Jahren. Auch das ist einer der Gründe, warum so viele Leute ausstiegen.

Daß Twitter die Bots nicht gesperrt hat (trotz zahlreicher Meldungen!), kommt noch hinzu.

Daß Twitter Lügner, Verleumder und Betrüger nicht gesperrt hat (trotz zahlreicher Meldungen!) kommt ebenfalls hinzu.

Schon vor Jahren war Twitter eine unerträgliche Kloake.

Aber wenigstens waren die eingehenden Tweets noch als EIN STRANG zu sehen und zu durchsuchen - und zu speichern - oder mit C+P zu markieren und zu kopieren. Aber das ist inzwischen von den Obervollidioten bei Twitter zerstört worden. Wer einen Strang kopieren will, kann sich unter Umständen auf mehrere Stunden Arbeit gefaßt machen. Lange Stränge sind überhaupt nicht mehr zu bekommen. Die Technik bei Twitter ist nur noch beschissen, und mit dieser Aussage halte ich mich noch sehr zurück.

Daß Elon Musk für den Müllhaufen Twitter 44 Milliarden Dollar aus dem Fenster geworfen hat, ist eine Sache. Daß er nunmehr durch seine saudämlichen Eskapaden die Werbe-Kunden, und nicht nur die, sondern nahezu die gesamte Surfer-Szene gegen sich PERSÖNLICH aufbringt, eine andere, denn die trifft (folgerichtig) das, was er bisher gemacht hat: Tesla. Wer will heute noch einen Tesla kaufen? Elon Musk hat in seiner Dämlichkeit nicht nur Twitter und sich selbst abgeschossen, sondern auch Tesla.

Adios, Elon Musk, fahr zur Hölle!

Wie verlogen Elon Musk ist, kann man sich leicht ausrechnen: Wenn die Leute auf seine Lüge hereinfallen, sie würden bevorzugt behandelt und stiegen im Ranking, dann ist die nächste Frage, wieviele das sind.

Angenommen, es sind 100.000 Trottel, die für den blauen Quatsch bezahlen. Wie wird innerhalb dieser 100.000 das Ranking verlaufen? Wie boxt man sich in einer riesigen Masse von 100.000 Leuten nach oben? Indem man mehr bezahlt? Das wäre dann eine glatte Erpressungsmethode durch Elon Musk.
Zahlen Alle den gleichen Betrag, wer ist dann gleicher als gleich und kommt nach oben?

Je größer die Zahl der Bezahler, desto weiter sinken sie nach unten.

Nehmen wir ein mehrklassiges Ranking an:

1. Trottel, die       8 Dollar pro Monat bezahlen
2. Trottel, die     20 Dollar pro Monat bezahlen
3. Trottel, die 1000 Dollar pro Monat bezahlen

Es gibt ja auch welche, die einen horrenden Betrag für verbrannte Haare bezahlen.

Wer würde bei dieser Olympiade "Wer ist der größte Depp?" mitmachen? Firmen, die das als Werbungskosten einkalkulieren. Dazu müßten sie allerdings auch Inhalte bieten können.

Schröer hat sich für seine Reklameschleuder T-Online den Luxus geleistet, einen guten Journalisten einzustellen (hoffentlich für sehr viel Geld), der ihnen die Inhalte liefert.
Elon Musk hat es leichter: Der will, daß die Leute sich prostituieren und ihm ihre Inhalte auf die Plattform werfen. Er verlangt dafür sogar Geld von ihnen.

Daß die blauen Angelhaken ein Zeichen für Blödheit sind, hat sich inzwischen herumgesprochen. Daß etliche Werbekunden nicht mitspielen und nicht mehr buchen, ist auch schon raus. Aus rein persönlicher Rache will Elon Musk die Abspringer öffentlich bloßstellen. Damit schießt er sich aber ins Knie. Weil es eine Liste aufrechter Firmen gibt, in der die Abspringer gelistet sind. Als Helden. Elon Musk fällt also auch damit auf die Schnauze.

44 Milliarden Dollar bezahlt für einen Haufen Scheiße.

Seine Lügen und seine große und dumme Schnauze verprellen die Werbekunden und die Surfer. Und das schlägt auf Tesla. Womit auch Tesla den Bach runter geht.

Auf die Liste aufrechter Firmen bin ich gespannt.

Ein Bonbon könnte ich mir außerdem vorstellen: Daß die abgesprungenen Werbekunden eine Konkurrenz-Plattform hochziehen. Das können die locker. Es würde reichen, eine alte und bekannte Plattform (was für eine auch immer) mit einem guten Ruf zu kaufen, den ganzen alten Kram rauszuschmeißen und von Grund auf eine neue Site hochzuziehen.

« Reply #14 on: November 14, 2022, 06:50:26 PM »

'Elon Musk says he fired engineer who corrected him on Twitter'...? Oh well, Elon Musk fired so many. But this incident is fun. Because it shines a light on the BIG BOSS as being quite hollow.

And his being great? If stupidity makes small, he could go parachuting under the carpet.

Here is a well-researched article, full with links to the various sources:

Elon Musk says he fired engineer who corrected him on Twitter
/ Several people have called out Musk’s tweet about Twitter’s poor performance. One of them seems to have given up their job by doing so.


By Mitchell Clark
Nov 14, 2022, 8:43 PM UTC|

Elon Musk in front of the Twitter logo.
Pro tip: if you care about keeping your job, you probably shouldn’t tweet about how your boss’s “simps” are pro “dickriders.” Illustration by Kristen Radtke / The Verge; Getty Images

Twitter has seen thousands of layoffs, departures, and resignations since Elon Musk took over, but one of the latest staffing changes appears to have been personal — the company’s new CEO tweeted that Eric Frohnhoefer, an employee who had publicly argued with him on the platform, had been fired.

The saga started on Sunday, when Musk tweeted an apology for Twitter being slow in “many countries” and implied that the poor performance is because the app does over 1,000 “poorly batched” remote procedure calls to load the home timeline — basically saying the app has to reach out to other servers a bunch of times and wait for a response for each request. Frohnhoefer, who tweeted that he’s spent six years working on Twitter for Android, quote retweeted Musk’s statement saying it was incorrect. Musk has done the same thing several times in response to news stories about his companies, but unlike those instances, Frohnhoefer actually went on to provide an explanation for why he thought his boss’s tweet was incorrect.

According to Frohnhoefer, Twitter actually makes zero remote procedure calls, or RPCs. Instead, he says, when the app starts up, it makes around 20 background requests. Seemingly to clarify his original tweet, Musk then responded, “The fact that you don’t realize that there are up to 1200 ‘microservices’ being called when someone uses the Twitter app is not great.” Frohnhoefer disagreed again, tweeting that the “number required to generate the home timeline is closer to 200 than 1200.”

The three went looking for venture capital (VC) funding in January 2004[2] and connected with Elon Musk, who contributed US$6.5 million of the initial

Cute. How convenient that you, intentionally, and dishonestly, left this part out if your Wiki copy paste:

"A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five – Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk, and Straubel – to call themselves co-founders.

The shitty Google web-space does not give direct links. So I use the URL of the Google web-space.

Here is the "Elon thread"

Elon thread

1
Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 1/ (thread symbol)

Screenshots, annotated
Degree, business plan 1995, SEC filing  2002

2009: “Musk has falsely claimed to have a degree in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania that he obtained in 1995, when in fact he has no such degree and the only degree he holds was obtained later than that. Upon information and belief, Musk’s only known undergraduate degree is a Bachelor’s of Science in Economics, obtained from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997.”

Catching Elon in a lie isn’t hard. In 2013: “I had to [stay in school]..otherwise I’d get kicked out of the country.” (This is correct.) Then “since I already had my undergrad, I could..get an H1-B visa” (That’s a lie). In 1995 he had no degree, so no visa. He was illegal. 3/

Video clip of SXWS
40:22 If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college. In my case I had to, otherwise I’d get kicked out of the country. So that was important, but..
Interviewer: Although you went on, and got a master’s degree as well, right?
I came out to Silicon Valley to do a PhD at Stanford in Applied Physics and Materials Science, to work on ultracapacitors for use in electric cars. That’s what I was going to do, and then I sort of put that on hold to start a company. But since I already had my undergrad, I could then get an H1-B visa and that sort of thing. The H1-B visa requires a degree. But other than that, if that wasn’t the case, I probably would have stopped education sooner. “ 41:09



4
To be clear: no one cares about the degree; the immigration violation is history. What matters is Elon’s Big Lie, pretending to be what he isn’t. The academic “stolen valor” subverts judgment (“but he’s a genius!”). And it opens him to influence. It makes him a security risk. 4/

2:41-3:18 “So I studied - uh - Physics and Business because I figured in order to do a lot of these things you need to know how the universe works and you need to know how the economy works
2013: Yeah yeah. I did a dual undergrad in Physics and Business at Wharton.

2013 - SXSW
48:37-49:23
Q:  “What’s the best advice you’ve ever got?” A  “Well, I think that - uh - physics training is a very good training, where it’s a good framework for reasoning where you’re trained to think about first principles and reason from there, and that means boiling things down to the most fundamental truths, and then  connecting those truths in a way to try to understand how reality is - because physics has this problem with trying to figure out things that are totally counterintuitive - and so they had to have a framework for getting there. Like quantum mechanics is incredibly counterintuitive  - uh - but it’s true.”
2015 - Stanford
Elon “that's not exactly advice. That has been encapsulated into time-warping wisdom. Yeah, exactly like wisdom. I mean there's a lot of things. Listen more to critical feedback. A lot of things I learned in college actually were pretty helpful.
11:30-11:58
I mean, I think the physics approach to thinking is very good-- like the first principles approach. And you applied that broadly? Yeah, applying the first principles in process of thinking is, I think, a good way to figure out counter-intuitive situations. And I thought that was really a helpful thing to learn.


5 Elon’s key influences are the “PayPal Mafia” capos, Peter Thiel & David Sacks. They urged him to buy Twitter, advise him on running it. Both with childhoods in apartheid S. Africa, angry culture wars at Stanford, now working on Thiel’s ‘political project’ to upend democracy. 5/

So Elon matters, & people around him are not America’s friends. Someone has to call out the secrets. Many people know - Elon’s been sued over the fake degree - but even as Twitter tanks, no one has the guts to talk. Silicon Valley’s the last place to lecture us on free speech. 6/

PART A - REVIEW. Elon Musk moved from South Africa to Canada in 1989, did odd jobs for a year, then enrolled at Queen’s Univ., where he wore logos from the business program: “QC” = “Queen’s Commerce”. After 2 years, he transferred to Penn. At this point he’d be on an F-1 visa. 9/

11
After 3 years at Penn, Elon left for CA with brother Kimbal, tried to catch the internet wave. They rented a Palo Alto office, slept in it when not coding. By Nov 3, 1995, Elon filed to incorporate “Global Link Information Network Inc.”, a kind of online business directory. 11/

Filing:. Screenshot of search page. Picture of Elon and Kimbal (from site builder report)

In the go-go 1990s, the internet was new & investors moved fast. In 1996 Mohr Davidow Ventures offered $3M for Global Link. On Aug 15, just 8 months after its startup, the change was official: Rich Sorkin was named CEO, and Elon became Secretary. They renamed it Zip2.
12/
Screenshot of filing



13
PART B - THE VISA. Mohr Davidow now had a problem: Elon was undocumented. This is indisputable. If he’d finished a degree, he could have gone on OPT - starting a business counts as “practical training”. But as a dropout, there’s no legal path to stay. 13/

Screenshot of visa regulations - overstaying a student visa

14
Nowadays a 1-year overstay means you’d be deported, could be barred for 3 years. In the 1990s, there might be workarounds. But what were Mohr Davidow’s options? Elon wouldn’t qualify for an EB-1 “genius” visa: 8 months of “hairball” code doesn’t prove “extraordinary ability” 14/

15
Elon mentions the H1-B “specialty occupations” visa many times. Those were easier to get in the 1990s than now, but still had a hard criterion: you need an undergrad degree. And Elon didn’t have one. He couldn’t even apply til he somehow managed to get a diploma. 15/

Screenshot of requirements
https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/h-1b-specialty-occupations

16
Elon didn’t have the $1M in non-US money he’d need for an EB-5 “immigrant investor” visa. Mohr Davidow could quietly stake him some, but that’s not legal. Of course, hiring an undocumented worker isn’t legal either. So dodgy things happened in 1996. By 1997, a path was found. 16/

17
PART C - DEGREES. Again, we care about Elon’s degrees because HE cares - a lot. He’s made Physics part of his identity. He talks about it so much there’s a highlight reel. The 27-year lie is his persona.17/

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSkJTkhLYxA

18
Why the lie? A Physics degree isn’t even that useful for Elon’s career. Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, founders of Tesla Motors, have what you’d actually want: CS and Electrical Engineering. But “Physics” does that to some people. It’s a kind of status worship. 18/

Bio screenshot of Tesla founders, highlighted

19
So let’s walk through evidence carefully: 1) evidence from lawsuits (subpoenas and depositions), 2) Elon’s coursework, 3) statements from Penn, 4) false statements to his biographer. 19/

Screenshot of contradictions again with highlights


20
1 - Lawsuits. Here’s the story of how we have Elon’s diplomas. In 1995, Elon interviewed at a startup, then ghosted them, started Global Link instead. The owner sued, alleging Elon swiped his business plan. The case hinged on deception, since borrowing ideas is legal. 20/

Cover sheet of lawsuit, page showing claim of computational physics

21
To get the interview, Elon said he was a Stanford PhD student, with degrees in Computational Physics & Finance. The plaintiff called that fraud & subpoenaed Penn. It seems Elon was indeed given two diplomas, but only in 1997, and the 2nd one has no department. 21/

The diplomas

22
Note that pulling strings at Penn’s Wharton School is not that big a scandal. Credentialing unstudious elites is part of Wharton’s game: Trump & Trump Jr are grads too. But Penn Physics is small, just a handful of graduates, and holding their reputation requires standards. 22/

Article on Trump’s donation (long), article on Trump being absent

23
Elon had to sit for a deposition as part of the 2007 lawsuit. He was grilled about saying “Computational Physics”, which doesn’t exist at Penn. When asked about the blank diploma, he evaded. Elon’s been talking his way out of situations for a long time. He won the suit. 23/

More Screenshots - maybe a closeup

24
In 2009, ousted Tesla Motors founder Martin Eberhard also sued, & again attacked Elon’s Physics degree claim. Eberhard reused material from the earlier suit, and added lies found in official SEC filings. This time it seems it was successful, since Elon settled out of court.  24/

Repeat from Tweet 1
“Musk has falsely claimed to have a degree in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania that he obtained in 1995, when in fact he has no such degree and the only degree he holds was obtained later than that. Upon information and belief, Musk’s only known undergraduate degree is a Bachelor’s of Science in Economics, obtained from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997


25
2 - Coursework. We know Elon did try Physics, but was academically behind. That’s clear from homework he posted: he’s a 3rd-year in 2nd-year Mechanics. It’s a red flag for someone who skips a lot of class. Some prodigies can ace tests without classes - but they aren’t behind. 25/

Screenshot of Twitter post:

26
3 - Penn statements:  Penn’s Wharton School regularly claims Elon, world’s richest man, as an alumnus, but the Physics Dept. seems never to have done so. In their congrats to 1997 graduates, there’s no Elon.  26/

Screenshot from  daily Pennsylvanian

27
Penn Arts & Sciences (which includes Physics), HAS called Elon a Physics alum, in one context: a bio for the “Elon Musk Public Lecture, made possible through a generous endowment gifted to the Center for Particle Cosmology in 2009”. Gifted the year of Elon’s deposition. 27/

https://www.sas.upenn.edu/events/ElonMusk2022

28
3 - False statements to his biographer. In 2015, Ashlee Vance put out a gushing bio of Elon. At some point he noticed that Elon’s degrees came 2 years late and asked about it, but then just accepted Elon’s strange answers, & shoved them in an appendix. They don’t hold up. 28/

Screenshot, highlighted

29
Elon explained his delayed diplomas by saying he had a minor problem at Penn: he hadn’t fulfilled his Language and History requirements, and when those were later dropped he got the degrees. But Penn has not dropped its Language and History requirements. 29/

Screenshot of Penn requirements

30
Elon also said he got so tied up in coding he “forgot” he hadn’t graduated. Just - no. No foreign student “forgets” about their visa status. (Note how Elon glides over being undocumented).

Even without the diploma, the inconsistencies should have tipped reporters off. 30/

Highlight statement

31
PART D - STANFORD. Lots more contradictions about Elon’s supposed acceptance to Stanford, so here’s the summary as a reminder. 31/

Screenshot of summary again, with Stanford stuff highlighted

32
In 1995, Elon claimed to be a Stanford PhD student in Materials Science and Engineering, but his story has morphed over time. Stories put him in any of 3 different departments at Stanford – MSE, or Applied Physics, or Physics -  and sometimes even combine them. 32/

Collage  of lawsuit , articles

33
For example, here Elon says “Applied Physics and Materials Science”. Again, no one forgets what they applied for. If a football player is drafted by the LA Rams, he doesn’t later say he was going to join the LA Lakers, or the LA Dodgers, or the “Ram Dodgers” . 33/

Video:
2003: ““I originally came up California to do energy physics at Stanford, actually”
2013 “I came out to Silicon Valley to do a PhD at Stanford in Applied Physics and Materials Science”
0:20-0:28  in clip

34
Somehow, faced with Elon’s wealth, no one flags the contradictions.  In 2015, Stanford’s former president John Hennessy introduced Elon with “He arrived at Stanford to pursue his PhD In Physics, but left after two days”.  Elon didn’t correct him. 34/

Video clip 2015

35
Elon’s deposition makes it clear he was not accepted to ANY department. He dodges saying which (“I spoke to…the Chairman of Science”), then talks about when he would pay tuition. But no science PhD student at Stanford pays tuition. Elon never saw an offer letter. 35/

Screenshot

36
Everyone should have had questions from the start. How could Elon start a PhD if he hadn’t graduated? He had 2 fantastical explanations. In 2009, he said Stanford had agreed he could do the PhD anyway, then go back and finish undergrad AFTER. Unheard of. 36/

Screenshot of deposition

37
In 2015 he told Vance a different story: that Penn and Stanford had made a special arrangement for him, and he would finish his undergrad WHILE doing his PhD. Also unheard of. And Elon was a nobody at that point. No investors to smooth his path. 37/

Screenshot

38
What happens in real life, is: if a student doesn’t finish his undergrad, his graduate admission is rescinded. In June. He’s done; he doesn’t set foot on campus. And if he’s on an F-1, he cannot work in the US and has to leave the country. Elon knows this. 38/

Short version of Tweet 3 video clip

39
The lawsuits forced Stanford to make a formal comment on Elon’s PhD stories. In Dec. 2008, Stanford’s Dean of Graduate Admissions, Judith Haccou, answered a subpoena with a terse response “...we are unable to locate a record in our office for Elon Musk”. 39/

Haccou letter

40
The story now gets disturbing. When Vance asked questions, Elon gave him a letter purportedly sent by Haccou in June 2009 attesting personally “you applied and were admitted to the graduate program in Material Science Engineering [sic]” It reads like a hostage video.. 40/

“As per special request from my colleagues in the School of Engineering, I have searched Stanford’s admission data base and acknowledge that you applied and were admitted to the graduate program in Material Science Engineering in 1995. Since you did not enroll, Stanford is not able to issue you an official certification document.”

Annotate screenshot

41
..so strained it’s not believable. It made me feel ill: did someone pressure her to write that, to appease Elon? But maybe.. it’s a fake. Stanford’s lawyers would not let her contradict a filing in an ongoing lawsuit. And a 30-year employee wouldn’t misspell the department. 41/

Obit for Haccou: https://news.stanford.edu/report/2020/12/04/judith-haccou-former-director-graduate-admissions-died-69/

42
Bizarrely, Vance didn’t call Haccou to confirm. She died in 2019.

Most likely, Elon never applied to grad school. The 2007 lawsuit quotes an article saying he moved to CA on the advice of Queen’s U. business professor, to meet investors. Elon was in business, not science. 42/

Eberhard vs. Musk 52.0 P. 34

43
Last item to cover: this year Elon posted a gushing letter from Bill Nix, former chair of Stanford MSE “who would have been my professor.” This means less than it might seem. Nix doesn’t remember him from 1995. He’s reaching out to a potential donor after Elon mentioned him..43/

Screenshot : https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1560720224588120064

44
..in an interview the week before. No surprise: if you’re the richest man in the world, people say nice things about you.

Note: Elon says his PhD topic was “advanced capacitors and batteries to improve the energy density for electric vehicles”. Nix worked on neither in 1995.  44/

Video clip of Tesla owners interview + Jurvetson

45
PART E - QUITTING TWITTER’S BOARD. Given how many secrets Elon has, it was a surprise when he agreed to join Twitter’s board. The letter he signed on April 4 2022 agreed to a background check. Anything about degrees and visas was going to come out. 45/

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1418091/000119312522095651/d342257dex101.htm

46
The board idea cratered fast - you can see it unravel. Apr. 5-7 Elon and CEO Parag are cheerfully planning. Apr. 8 10:11 PM  Elon suddenly sends Parag a screenshot from 1 min before & “I’m so sick of this”. That’s it. By 3:20 AM he is texting Kimbal about creating a new Twitter. 46/

Text screenshots, highlighted
   
47
The next morning, Apr. 9, he tells Twitter: “expect a take private offer” - a hostile takeover. The screenshot seems like Elon’s “Rosebud” moment. Of course he’s impulsive, could be random, but later events do suggest hidden secrets, since in August…47/

More texts, maybe a link

48
…as Twitter fought to make Elon pay up, he subpoenaed Stanford to ask if they’d talked to Twitter. What was he looking for? We may never know. In September, Twitter made his texts public. Elon caved within a week & agreed to buy, ending the lawsuit. 48/

Stanford Daily article link
https://stanforddaily.com/2022/08/31/elon-musk-subpoenas-stanford-in-legal-battle-with-twitter

49
PART F - NATL. SECURITY. A Twitter owner can do a lot of damage. By spreading disinfo if Twitter survives. Or by letting it die to stifle speech. By getting the personal info of journalists and activists. By pulling down info stored on Twitter, or even archived Tweets. 49/

Screenshot of something?

50
Trump should have taught us that an impulsive, insecure oligarch with dark secrets and poor judgment, who barely scraped through Wharton and talks too much with Russians, is a security risk. People with secrets can be used. 50/

51
The people whispering to Elon now - Peter Thiel and David Sacks - are not friends of free speech. Thiel has deliberately destroyed one media outlet already. He calls journalists “terrorists”. He may not care if Elon loses his fortune. 51/

https://twitter.com/capitolhunters/status/1589818641474031617


52
Thiel and Sacks are openly authoritarian, dislike democracy, and push disinfo. Read linked thread to understand. Thiel courts extremists on the right; Sacks befriends the left. Sacks spreads Putin’s propaganda overtly; Thiel more discreetly.  52/

https://twitter.com/capitolhunters/status/1589818550524743681

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------

53
PART G - THINGS TO DO. Call your Rep. or Senator.  Much of Elon’s revenue is your tax dollars, paying for SpaceX launches. That can stop. Tesla is already under investigation for safety concerns. Twitter may be. Our astronauts need safety too. 53/

Screenshot of exchange with Sen. Markey

54
Demand changes to our immigration policy. Foreigners rightly can’t fund US political campaigns. Thiel, a naturalized citizen, spent $30M buying US Senators while also shopping for “golden passports”: he’s got his escape plan ready . Revise the rules to cut off that option. 54/

Screenshot of article

55
For journalists, you can ask questions. Even if people say “no comment”, it’s useful.
* Larry Davidow. Ask how Elon got paid in 1996 with no work permit. Ask him how the visa got arranged.
* Parag Agarwal. What did Elon show him the night he decided to buy Twitter? 55/

56
Universities
* Penn - ask for Physics students & faculty there ‘93-95. Does anyone remember Elon? Why the blank degree?
* Stanford legal: does the letter from Judith Haccou contradict their filing? Why was Stanford subpoenaed? What did they talk to Twitter about? 56/

57
Elon & Kimbal
* Kimbal: what visa did you enter the US with in 1995?

Thiel’s neo-fascist set:
How does your anti-elite pose square with your pathetic degree-grubbing? Thiel’s lapdog JD Vance cried: “we have to attack..universities in this country..they pursue deceit and lies.” Should he give back his Yale degree? 58/

These guys don’t hate “The Cathedral”; they grovel to it. Look at Thiel’s pet politicians: Sacks, Cruz, Hawley, Masters, Vance have degrees from Stanford (4), UChicago (1), Princeton (1), Harvard (1), Yale (2). Elon’s made-up Physics degree gave him status too. 59/

Tom Nichols called it: they’re “insecure rich boys” “who wanted to burn everything down just to squelch that nose-to-the-glass feeling of resentment at those who never accepted them.” Journalists can push on that - speak the truth of who they are. 60/

PART H - THOUGHTS. We need to ask, given so much evidence, why Musk didn’t get more scrutiny. Rolling Stone called him a “naturally gifted engineer”. NYT: a “great inventor”. How did they know that? Journalists repeated the story til it seemed impossible to question.  61/

62
Ashlee Vance’s 2015 book is another level. Vance is not an impartial biographer but a full-on fan. Look at his Twitter feed: furiously defending Elon, criticizing his rivals. Vance is also S. African, by the way, like Elon & many in the PayPal Mafia (4 total counting Thiel). 62/

Vance screenshots.

63
Consider: sophisticated pundits laughed at how Trump fooled his naive supporters. They called him “a poor person’s idea of a rich businessman”. Well, Elon was a non-techie’s idea of a science genius. Transcribe his interviews - they’re word salad. You got fooled too. 63/

Transcription

64
It’s more disturbing that scientists were silent, who shouldn’t be fooled.  Elon’s interviews about physics are… painful. Did people really not see? Or is this the devil’s bargain for elite universities, sucking up to potential donors? How much integrity can they give up? 64/

65
Of course I’ve been silent too, sitting on this since May. This account reports out on the Jan 6 Capitol attack; it serves law enforcement. Commenting on Elon might jeopardize that. Posting this makes me feel sick. But serving truth means calling out the Big Lies. 65/

I stand by what’s in this thread. If Elon wants to sue for defamation, I’ll meet at the courthouse. But Elon, there’s an offramp. You can be a hero - stand up for America. Talk about what happened. Who pushed you to buy, and why? People may forgive. 66/

67
If this is the end, incredible props to all who worked on the Capitol attack. The #SeditionHunters were one of the largest crowdsourced efforts in history, and withstood efforts to disrupt it. Twitter was invaluable, awful, & amazing all at once. Next version can be better. 67/

SUBTHREAD  - BACKGROUND

1
Anyone following this months’ Twitter saga is now hearing a lot about David Sacks and the PayPal Mafia. WSJ asked who pushed Elon to buy: the top 2 are Peter Thiel & David Sacks. WaPo asked who’s advising Elon now: again, Sacks. Deeply scary. (Thread) 1/

Sacks article

2
Thiel organized the influencers who later pulled crowds to the Capitol on Jan 6. His Senators (Cruz, Hawley) delayed the electoral vote. Sacks is now pushing Putin’s talking points - to Elon. The links are ugly. Here’s a try at showing some, and a review. Sources at end 2/

Sacks shot

3
Thiel & Sacks had childhoods in apartheid S. Africa (like Elon); bonded over feeling ‘canceled’ at Stanford. They wrote a book (“The Diversity Myth..”) with insensitive comments on ‘multicultural rape’. There was worse stuff in their 1992 Stanford Review “Rape Issue”. 3/

Screenshot  of The Nation article

4
Tech boomed in the 1990s but Thiel (Philosophy) and Sacks (Econ) weren't coders. Thiel went to Credit Suisse abroad, but wasn’t a rising star. It must have hurt. When he returned for law school, he’d acquired investment money from unnamed “friends and family", put it in PayPal 4/

5
Thiel brought Sacks along to PayPal. They met Elon Musk when PayPal merged with his company. After PayPal was sold in 2002, Thiel ramped up what biographer Max Chafkin calls his ‘political project’. Key to it are Stanford Review alums - like Josh Hawley and Blake Masters.5/

Screenshot from LA Times article

6
Thiel stayed in touch with (& funded) the Stanford Review ever since the 1980s. He used it to built a vast network of ‘libertarian’ protegees, grooming them with jobs and investments. This article from Stanford Politics counted nearly 300.  6/

Stanford Politics link, and screenshot

7
In 2009, Thiel announced he “no longer believes freedom and democracy are compatible”, and started buying Senators: Ted Cruz from 2009, Josh Hawley from 2015, and this year $30M on Blake Masters (AZ) & JD Vance (OH). Hawley, Masters, and Vance all worked directly for Thiel. 7/

Cruz and Hawley pictures

8
2009 seems a milestone year and the start of another Thiel effort, to build US extremism and hate. Just 3 months after James O’Keefe started Project Veritas, Thiel gave him money for a video to prank people of color. At Stanford Thiel did the talking; now he funded others. 8/
Screenshot from timeline

9
The US alt-right was really born at the 2016 RNC. Thiel gave a public speech; his protegee Jeff Giesea quietly arranged a dinner for neo-Nazis and a “Gays for Trump” party that brought together influencers. It spun off the “MAGA3X” operation, the same crowd that pushed Jan 6. 9/

Screenshot from timeline

10
Thiel mostly stays out of sight, but pops up in the J6 timeline in small odd ways. In 2016, before the election, propagandist and troll Jack Posobiec pushed the new antisemitic typography with “Surrounded by (((them))) at Peter Thiel press conference”. 10/

Archived Tweet

11
Joe Biggs, ex-‘journalist’ turned Proud Boy who led the march to the Capitol, posted his last news clips in 2019: “Billionaire Peter Thiel makes big move into bitcoin”. His website now redirects to a Swiss-owned Brazilian newspaper with anti-vaxx, pro-Bolsonaro content. 11/

Archived site screenshot
12
While Peter Thiel is openly far-right, David Sacks has a double game going. He still donates to Republican politicians but now cultivates the far-left. He's a pretend progressive with talking points from Putin: no more aid to Ukraine. 12/

Screenshot of Sacks’ Woke War III

13
Thiel and Sacks both own social media sites now. Thiel’s Rumble is for the alt-right; it also hosts Trump’s Truth Social. (1 day after this was announced, Trump endorsed Thiel’s protege JD Vance.) Sacks’ new "Callin" is for the tankie left. 13/

 Elliot Higgins Tweet: https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1589601787396648961

14
Thiel has pro-Russia friends too - like Sebastian Kurz, a far-right Austrian politician who bribed his way to power, then fell in scandal. In 2021 Kurz visited Russia, said peace is only possible "with Russia, and not against it". Within months he was hired at Thiel Capital. 14/

Kurz FB page

15
We don't know exactly why Elon bought Twitter, but the crowd around him are not big on free speech. Thiel famously schemed to bankrupt Gawker in revenge for outing him as gay. It cost him millions of his own money. Getting Elon to destroy Twitter would be cheaper. 15/

Forbes graphic of Thiel vilifying journalists

16
Finally - in 2022 Thiel funded a candidate who was totally not his type: not male, no elite college, no long ties. That's Harriet Hageman, Liz Cheney’s opponent. Thiel wanted Cheney gone, and we can guess why. The day she lost, Elon was there in Wyoming too. 16/

Summary of contradictions

Besides the fact that we have Elon’s blank diploma, Elon says

- that he had degree/s from Penn in 1994 (false), 1995 (false), or 1997 (true)

- that he had to stay in school to get a degree to get an H1-B visa (but he didn’t)

- that one Penn degree was in Physics (false) or Computational Physics (doesn’t exist)

- that he moved to CA for a PhD program at Stanford, but also that he moved to find investors

- that he started a PhD at Stanford (false), then that he deferred (also false), 2 days into the         
       program (impossible) but before paying tuition (he wouldn’t have paid)

- that the department was Materials Science and Engineering, or Applied Physics, or Physics   
      (all different) or “Applied Physics and Materials Science” (doesn’t exist)

-  that he was going to work with Bill Nix, also that he would work in Physics on “capacitors
       and batteries”. Those are different fields; Nix worked on neither in 1995; Nix is in MSE

- that Stanford’s Dean of Graduate Studies wrote him she had reviewed his records and         
       that he’d been admitted (but she filed a legal statement that no records were found)

- that Stanford would let him finish his undergrad after the PhD, or during it (both unheard of)

Original journal not found. Possibly a publication of Queen’s University, Canada.
Implies Musk moved to California to obtain venture capital, not to go to Stanford.

Lawsuit against Elon Musk: John O’Reilly vs. Elon Musk (and others)
County of Santa Clara Superior Court Case No. 2007-1-CV-083172
https://portal.scscourt.org/
No downloads at this URL, but some material is included in Eberhard v. Musk, San Mateo Superior Court CIV 484400 (2009). Suit alleges theft of the idea for Zip2, fraudulent mis-statement of Elon’s credentials.

Background: On October 6, 1995, Musk alleges he is a Stanford student to secure a meeting with O’Reilly and discuss his business. On Nov 3, 1995 Musk signs the paperwork to incorporate a company with a similar business model.  Lawsuit turns on Elon’s false statements to secure the interview, so includes subpoenas of his academic credentials from Penn, copies of actual diplomas, and a deposition of Elon about his degrees.  Judgment for Elon AND he wins attorneys fees and extracts $187K from plaintiff.


Physics World interview
https://physicsworld.com/a/once-a-physicist-elon-musk/
“Postgraduate work into high-energy-density capacitors”. Note that no-one at Stanford was working on capacitors for energy storage in 1995. Nix’s work became relevant LATER, but it was not seen as relevant in 1995. No papers from Stanford in the 1993-1998 paper mention capacitor development (or batteries either)



2009
Lawsuit: Martin Eberhard vs. Elon Musk, San Mateo County Superior Court, CIV 484400
https://www.plainsite.org/dockets/3cberzj42/superior-court-of-california-county-of-san-mateo/martin-eberhard-v-elon-musk-et-al/
May 26, 2009 initial complaint includes some material from O’Reilly v. Musk (2007)

July 16 filing org.sanmateocourt.CIV484400.52.0-1.pdf has more material from the 2007 suit
Quote:” In several national publications, Musk has allegedly misrepresented his affiliation with Stanford University, claiming to have “dropped out” of a Ph.D. program at that university when in fact he was never enrolled at Stanford. “
“Musk has falsely claimed to have a degree in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania that he obtained in 1995, when in fact he has no such degree and the only degree he holds was obtained later than that. Upon information and belief, Musk’s only known undergraduate degree is a Bachelor’s of Science in Economics, obtained from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997.”

Items from the 2007 lawsuit, John O’Reilly vs. Elon Musk (and others), Case No. 107-CV-083172
Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara

P. 57 deposition of Norman Gondinho (who invested ca. $50K)
“A. He had got admission into Stanford through a Ph.D.
Q. How do you know that?
A. He told me. He said he had a scholarship and a grant to do this Ph.D. and, on the other side, he wanted to start this company..”

P. 100 deposition of Elon Musk
Q .And as you read the bio for you and the business plan on Page 14, is everything in the bio true and correct?
A. Yeah. Yes.
Q. Okay. So you received a B.S. in Computational Physics from Penn?
A. Yeah.

A. Actually, I should be clear about that. So, I obtained the one Graduate degree in Business and Physics but [had] an agreement with the.. University of Pennsylvania. They said that I could have.. I could complete the English and History credit when I was no longer a student at Stanford. So they would delay transmitting the degree until I had done that.”

Note: his statement to Ashlee Vance in 2015 contradicts this - says he would finish the classes AT Stanford.
“I had a History and an English credit that I agreed with Penn that I would do at Stanford,” he said. “Then I put Stanford on deferment. Later, Penn’s requirements changed so that you don’t need the English and History credit. So then they awarded me the degree in ’97 when it was clear I was not going to go to grad school, and their requirement was no longer there.”

P. 103 deposition of Elon Musk taken on Thursday, May 7, 2009
Q. And you got a B.S. in that, in Physics?
A. Yeah.
Q. Okay.
[Lawyers then dispute over whether Computational Physics existed at Penn (it didn’t)]

P. 104 deposition of Elon Musk 
Q. Now, looking at the first two pages of Exhibit 10, are those the only two diplomas you received from the University of Pennsylvania?
A. You know, I didn’t even look at the things coming out. So, I guess these are the diplomas from the University.
Q. Do you think you have additional diplomas from the University of Pennsylvania?
A. No.
Q. Are you aware of either of these documents granting you a Bachelor of Science in Computational Physics?
The Witness: Well actually, it’s in Latin.

Q. If you look at the - the diplomas themselves, one says Bachelor of Science in Economics in English. Is that correct?
A. Yes.
Q. And the other just says Bachelor’s of Science in Latin, correct?
A. I don’t know what it says. I’m not good at Latin.

Diplomas themselves are on p. 164-165, both largely in Latin. Each says  “approbata ad gradum”  (“approved for the degree”) followed by a line of text. That line on one diploma is “Bachelor of Science in Economics”. On the other diploma it is “Baccalavrei Artivm”. The v’s are presumably stylized u’s and this translates as “Bachelor of Arts” with no subject given. People from Penn say that all-Latin and no department is the norm. Date in Roman numerals translates to May 19, 1997

P. 106 deposition of Elon Musk
Q. Did you ever pay any tuition fees at Stanford for any graduate programs?
A. No, because I deferred starting. It was about two days into the quarter that I spoke with [indistinct] who was the Chairman of the Science Department and deferred starting.

P. 125 Global Link business plan
At the head of the Global Link research group is Elon Musk. He has completed a degree in finance and entrepreneurship from the Wharton School, and a B.S. in Computational Physics.

Note - this is false, as Elon had no degree til after the company changed name to Zip2. Also there is no degree in Computational Physics at Penn even today. There is a “Concentration in Computer Techniques”: https://web.archive.org/web/20191217192622/https://live-sas-physics.pantheon.sas.upenn.edu/undergraduate/physics-astronomy-major#computer

P. 142 another version of Elon’s biography in slide deck for investors
“He has completed a degree in finance and entrepreneurship from the Wharton School, and a B.S. in Computational Physics.”

P. 149 Response to Form Interrogatory No. 2.7
Education section includes “University of Pennsylvania (Wharton), 3451 Walnut Street, Philadelphia PA 19104, dates attended 1992-1995, BS degree in Finance and Physics.

P. 169 Subpoena to Stanford University for Elon’s records.

P. 175 letter from Judith Haccou, Director of Graduate Admissions, Stanford University, Dec. 16, 2008
 “Based on the information you provided, we are unable to locate a record in our office for Elon Musk”

Notes discrepancy  -
Ashlee Vance’s 2015 biography of Musk cites a June 22, 2009 letter from Judith Haccou (see 2009 entry).
“As per special request from my colleagues in the School of Engineering, I have searched Stanford’s admission data base and acknowledge that you applied and were admitted to the graduate program in Material Science Engineering in 1995. Since you did not enroll, Stanford is not able to issue you an official certification document.”

Stanford’s program is called “Materials Science and Engineering” : https://mse.stanford.edu/
Judith Haccou would not make that mistake:  joined Stanford in 1979, had been there 29 years in 2008

June Commencement speech at Caltech
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxZpaJK74Y4
“..if I can advance technology then that’s like magic and that’d be really cool.. I always had kind of a slight existential crisis, so I was trying to figure out, what does it all mean, like what’s the purpose of things, and, um, I came to the conclusion that if - if we can advance the - the knowledge of the world, if we can do things that expand the scope and - and scale of consciousness, then we’re better able to ask the right questions and become more enlightened and that’s really the only way forward.” [  - 2:37]

2:37 “So I studied - uh - Physics and Business because I figured in order to do a lot of these things you need to know how the universe works and you need to know how the economy works, um, and you also need to be able to bring a lot of people together to work with you to create something, because it’s very difficult to create something as an individual if it’s a significant technology.”

“I - uh - originally came out to California to - uh - try to figure out how to improve the energy density of - uh - of um -of  electric vehicles to try to figure out if there was an advanced capacitor that could serve as an alternative to batteries. And um - that was in 95 and that was also when the internet started to happen”

March 9 SXSW interview by Chris Anderson (editor-in-chief 3D Robotics)
Event description: https://schedule.sxsw.com/2013/events/event_IAP993338
Bio quote: “transitioning to a sustainable energy economy, in which electric vehicles play a pivotal role, has been one of his central interests for almost two decades, stemming from his time as a physics student working on ultracapacitors in Silicon Valley.”

Video of interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeQMWdOMa-A

39:44 in video comments on education begin
Musk: A university education is often unnecessary. That’s not to say it’s unnecessary for all people but .. I think you probably learn about as much - or the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there - in the first two years, and most of it is from your classmates. Um - because you can always buy the textbooks and just read them I mean no one is stopping you from doing that.. Now for a lot of companies, they do want to see the completion of the degree, because they’re looking for someone who’s going to persevere and see it through to the end, and that’s actually what.. what’s important to them. So it really depends on what somebody’s goal is. If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college. In my case I had to, otherwise I’d get kicked out of the country. So that was important, but..

Interviewer: Although you went on, and got a master’s degree as well, right?

I came out to Silicon Valley to do a PhD at Stanford in Applied Physics and Materials Science, to work on ultracapacitors for use in electric cars. That’s what I was going to do, and then I sort of put that on hold to start a company. But since I already had my undergrad, I could then get an H1-B visa and that sort of thing. The H1-B visa requires a degree. But other than that, if that wasn’t the case, I probably would have stopped education sooner. “

Interviewer: Did you not go to Wharton for..? 

Musk: Yeah yeah. I did a dual undergrad in Physics and Business at Wharton.

48:25 Comments on philosophy of Physics
Q:  “What’s the best advice you’ve ever got?” A  “Well, I think that - uh - physics training is a very good training, where it’s a good framework for reasoning where you’re trained to think about first principles and reason from there, and that means boiling things down to the most fundamental truths, and then connecting those truths in a way to try to understand how reality is - because physics has this problem with trying to figure out things that are totally counterintuitive - and so they had to have a framework for getting there. Like quantum mechanics is incredibly counterintuitive  - uh - but it’s true.”

Elon is interviewed by Steve Jurvetson -
11:23 “Yeah I started out thinking okay, when I do something in the electric vehicle space, and that’s why I originally came to Stanford was to work on advanced storage capabilities and take ultracapacitors. So that was continuing on research that I’d done as an intern in Silicon Valley the summer prior. So, so, that’s why I originally came out in ‘95.

May 19 Ashlee Vance Book is published  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25541028-elon-musk
Appendix 1 describes inconsistencies in education. (In first edition, not added later)
https://publicism.info/biography/elon_musk/14.html Archived https://archive.ph/3NtKP
“At first, I, too, felt like there were a lot of oddities surrounding Musk’s academic record, particularly the Stanford days. But, as I dug in, there were solid explanations for all of the inconsistencies and plenty of evidence to undermine the cases of Musk’s detractors.”

“As for his academic records, Musk produced a document for me dated June 22, 2009, that came from Judith Haccou, the director of graduate admissions in the office of the registrar at Stanford University. It read, “As per special request from my colleagues in the School of Engineering, I have searched Stanford’s admission data base and acknowledge that you applied and were admitted to the graduate program in Material Science Engineering [sic] in 1995. Since you did not enroll, Stanford is not able to issue you an official certification document.”

Musk also had an explanation for the weird timing on his degrees from Penn. “I had a History and an English credit that I agreed with Penn that I would do at Stanford,” he said. “Then I put Stanford on deferment. Later, Penn’s requirements changed so that you don’t need the English and History credit. So then they awarded me the degree in ’97 when it was clear I was not going to go to grad school, and their requirement was no longer there.”

Penn general education requirements as of 2022: https://www.college.upenn.edu/gen-ed
“Foundational Approaches” is 6 areas, one of which is a language requirement (can meet it with AP credit)
“Sectors of Knowledge” requires courses in 7 areas, including “History and Tradition”

Elon “that's not exactly advice. That has been encapsulated into time-warping wisdom. Yeah, exactly like wisdom. I mean there's a lot of things. Listen more to critical feedback. A lot of things I learned in college actually were pretty helpful.
I mean, I think the physics approach to thinking is very good-- like the first principles approach. And you applied that broadly? Yeah, applying the first principles in process of thinking is, I think, a good way to figure out counter-intuitive situations. And I thought that was really a helpful thing to learn. That's good. Feel free to jump in. Because I don't know how it ends for that question. Yeah, what would you do? What would you tell your younger self? It will be alright. You weren't as dorky as you think-- advice like that-- nothing really too actionable. Don't worry about it? Well, just don't be so insecure about everything you're insecure about, would probably be my advice to myself. But let's move on.”

13:37-13:58 “ Yeah, I mean, if you sort of follow what I did initially, was-- to go back to college times-- was working on energy storage technologies for electric vehicles. And that's what I was going to pursue at Stanford, actually, was work on advanced capacitors and batteries to improve the energy density for electric vehicles. And then the internet was kind of happening.”

Quotes: “Musk is not a businessman or entrepreneur. He's an engineer, inventor and, as he puts it, "technologist." And as a naturally gifted engineer, he's able to find the design inefficiencies, flaws and complete oversights in the tools that power our civilization.”
“I'm naturally good at engineering that's because I inherited it from my father," Musk says. "What's very difficult for others is easy for me.”   (Also mentions that Musk’s father killed three people, home intruders)

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/peter-thiel-silicon-valley-contrarian-max-chafkin.html

Quotes:
“reflexive contrarianism, the unearned confidence, the impossibly favorable outcome”

“His book Zero to One “developed the idiosyncrasies that had been present in the college-age Thiel into a full-blown ideology. The book argues, among other things, that founders are godlike, that monarchies are more efficient than democracies, and that cults are a better organizational model than management consultancies. More than anything, it celebrates rule-breaking. Thiel bragged that of PayPal’s six founders, four had built bombs in high school.”

““He viewed liberals through a lens as people who were not nice to him,” said a classmate. “The way people treated him at Stanford had a huge impact. That’s still with him.”

“some who know Thiel speculate, convincingly, that his mid-’90s homophobia was an expression of self-hatred.” (Both Thiel and his friend Keith Rabois were virulently anti-gay at Stanford; both since came out as gay)

Thiel had been managing “a pool of capital he’d raised from friends and family as a hedge fund”, invested in a coder’s project that became PayPal - boasted that it would cause “the erosion of the nation-state”
(his father was a chemical engineer, no sign of wealth in the family)

“Musk thinks Peter is a sociopath, and Peter thinks Musk is a fraud and a braggart.”

“Thiel had laid a trap, installing most of his deputies — including Levchin and the author of the Review’s “Rape Issue” [David Sacks] — in the executive ranks. Musk didn’t realize he was surrounded by a team that was more loyal to Thiel than to him. Later that year, Musk left town for a two-week trip. While he was in the air, a group of Thiel-aligned conspirators confronted the company’s major backer, Moritz, at his office on Sand Hill Road. They demanded their patron be put in charge.”

Thiel then suggests that all of PayPal’s cash be given to Thiel Capital

Recent pro-Russia postings

Article in The American Conservative, Sep 26 2022
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/should-america-go-all-in-on-ukraine/
It makes no sense for the U.S. to play for all the chips over a Donbas region that no American president has ever before claimed is a vital interest. Risking World War III with a desperate nuclear-armed opponent, with no vital security interests at stake, without having exhausted every diplomatic option, is not good pot control.

Oct 3 Musk Tweets about a negotiated settlement in Ukraine

On Oct 4, 2022 Sacks defends Musk in Newsweek article. “The Neocons and the Woke Left are Joining Hands and Leading Us to Woke War III”  (partly defending Elon Musk’s Oct. 3 Tweets)
https://www.newsweek.com/neocons-woke-left-are-joining-hands-leading-us-woke-war-iii-opinion-1748947
We've seen this before: "Woke mobs" on Twitter routinely demonize and defame their political opponents, impugn the motives of anyone who questions their goals or tactics, and squelch dissent even in their own ranks by declaring the debate on certain topics over.
What makes the "I stand with Ukraine" version of the Twitter mob unique is that it brings together two forces that used to be sworn enemies of one another—the woke Left and the neoconservative Right. It turns out they share many of the same loathsome ideological and personality traits, and have a similar "slash and burn" approach to political engagement. It's a new political marriage.

https://newrepublic.com/article/168125/david-sacks-elon-musk-peter-thiel
Sacks formerly PayPal’s COO, installed by Thiel

Sacks has co-founded the media site Callin “which has attracted a swathe of very online journalists from the left, right, and murkier ideological corners,”

Seems to be part of the faux-left, part of join manipulation of far-left and far-right. Silverman says of Sacks’ crowd: “These dissident leftists are joined by a growing number of tech and finance elites with reactionary politics.”

“Domestically, the vision is more muddled, a series of angry poses, a politics of pique, much of it playing out on Twitter, Callin, YouTube, Rumble, Substack, and other online media, especially among people who may have once counted themselves on the left but now can’t countenance the sight of homeless encampments.” Mentions The Young Turks and Jacobin

“Despite Sacks’s ties to the online post-left and his efforts to speak for San Francisco’s disenchanted Democrats, his record of campaign finance donations tells the story of a die-hard Republican.”

June Commencement speech at Caltech

“..if I can advance technology then that’s like magic and that’d be really cool.. I always had kind of a slight existential crisis, so I was trying to figure out, what does it all mean, like what’s the purpose of things, and, um, I came to the conclusion that if - if we can advance the - the knowledge of the world, if we can do things that expand the scope and - and scale of consciousness, then we’re better able to ask the right questions and become more enlightened and that’s really the only way forward.” [0:00]

2013
SXSW interview

Q:  “What’s the best advice you’ve ever got?” Elon:  “Well, I think that - uh - physics training is a very good training, where it’s a good framework for reasoning where you’re trained to think about first principles and reason from there, and that means boiling things down to the most fundamental truths, and then connecting those truths in a way to try to understand how reality is - because physics has this problem with trying to figure out things that are totally counterintuitive - and so they had to have a framework for getting there. Like quantum mechanics is incredibly counterintuitive  - uh - but it’s true.” [48:25]

2015

Yeah, applying the first principles in process of thinking is, I think, a good way to figure out counter-intuitive situations. And I thought that was really a helpful thing to learn. That's good. Feel free to jump in. Because I don't know how it ends for that question. Yeah, what would you do? What would you tell your younger self? It will be alright. You weren't as dorky as you think-- advice like that-- nothing really too actionable. Don't worry about it? Well, just don't be so insecure about everything you're insecure about, would probably be my advice to myself. But let's move on.”

Facebook und Twitter haben eines gemeinsam: sie sind Umschlagplätze für Pornographie und Rotlichtmilieu. Sowohl Facebook als auch Twitter werden als Reklamefläche für Filme und Bordsteinschwalben benutzt. Viele "Likes" und "Freundschaftsanfragen" sind Köderversuche der Pornoszene.

This surely is insane. Because: If it is a political statement, why then are the paying users allowed to make political statements, when political statements are forbidden?

Whoever is behind this fake, he is an idiot.

considered a political statement against Russia, and as a

Mord

Doch es gibt auch einen Fall, bei dem dieses Vorgehen von "makaber" in wirklich "geschmacklos" übergeht. So wurde das Konto des Journalisten Jamal Khashoggi mit dem Twitter-Blue-Haken versehen. Khashoggi wurde im Jahr 2018 auf grausamste Weise im Auftrag der saudischen Regierung ermordet. Unter den 15 Tätern fanden sich sieben Mitglieder aus der Elite-Personenschutzeinheit des saudischen Kronprinzen Mohammed bin Salman.

Boy genius, @Elonmusk, has verified Jamal Khashoggi's Twitter account, claiming "This account is verified because they are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number." The Saudis murdered Khashoggi in 2018.

"Makaber" ist das aber auch deswegen, weil es an etwas erinnert, worüber in der Techbranche nicht so gerne gesprochen wird: wie wichtig die Rolle von Saudi-Arabien als Investor mittlerweile ist. So ist der saudische Prinz Alwaleed bin Talal denn auch einer der größten Investoren hinter Twitter.
