You clearly still don't get it. Unless you go to jail for espousing non-hate speech, your rights are not being violated.

Saying you like Donald Trump is a very unpopular opinion in Canada. If you make pro-Trump posts on a forum and you get banned, your freedom of expression is not being compromised. If you're arrested and jailed for it, that's another issue all together.
and what has that got to with my argument about twitter...the liberals doing a mass exodus isn't about them being silenced. it's because repugs are not...

Engineers don't need degrees to become an engineer...they're not surgeons. you don't need to be a lawyer to defend yourself in court. maybe not a good idea though.
Wow, that is probably the most uneducated opinion I have come across in a while.
You say that because you are not an engineer and you dont know what engineering entails.
Yes, engineers do need to study engineering.
Engineering is not just about "building" stuff.
There is a lot of math, physics and other science that goes into designing something.
You could learn that outside of the degree, but Elon knows none of that.
He just gave himself a title and sold you bullshit.
Hence why he is a con.

Trump has a ‘my way or the highway’ style of negotiation. What’s good about that? There’s no give and take with Trump, only take, take, take.
He's trying to do the best for his country and there are times he doesn't really need to negotiate anything if he can just take it.
Leaders know how to use influence and power to get what they want. Everything doesn't always have to be negotiated if you often hold all the cards anyway.
Hate the game not the player so to speak.

Did Biden negotiate when he cancelled the XL pipeline?

Exactly. I stopped reading when I read "engineers don't need degrees."

Holy. Fuck.

Ideas can be acquired form anywhere.
This isn't about ideas.
This is about the claim that Elon revolutionized the world.
Did Bill Gates, Steve Jobs revolutionize the world? Yes.
Did Elon? No.
Apple was founded 30 years before the first iPhone was introduced.
Microsoft was founded 10 years before the first version of Windows was released.

Musk brought the first successful and commercially available EV to consumers in 5 years.
He successfully reached orbit with the Falcon rocket in 6 years.

You seriously think he is not revolutionizing the world in those aspects and within those timelines?

On social media today Elon musk calls Justin Trudeau an insufferable tool. Your thoughts and comments. Is he right?
Musk also said in the past that Steve Wozniak, the undisputed and revered father of the modern computer was not a child of Silicon Valley. Musk is a pompous ass.

So far he delivered.
What did he steal?
Zuckerberg was so inspired he has to pay 65million to the twins?
I don't think Steve Jobs stole ideas...he's a visionary but he didn't execute the hardwork....kinda like...Elon. Elon without his team of engineers won't be where he is now...
Really? PEO begs to differ.

Different products.
Different development timelines.
The roadster rolled out in 2006. 2 years before Elon took over. So he gets no credit for it.
It was the work of Eberhard and Tarpenning.
Heavy rockets had been in use for over 50 years.
Elon took 6 years to get one to fly.
Doing the same thing people before you have already done, is not revolutionizing anything.

So you mention Jobs and Gates and now you say "those were different products and development timelines".
why did you mention them if they can't be compared?
Mr. Slippery indeed.
I guess that's what happens when the facts slap you in the forehead and you have to backtrack to not look foolish.

ps heavy rockets never landed themselves.
If Musk didn't invest in Tesla they wouldn't have released anything.

I did not compare their products.
I compared their accomplishments, which is perfectly okay to do.
Jobs and Gates revolutionized the world.
Elon did not.
Nothing controversial about this.
