Wonder what Stephen King is going to end up doing. He said he wouldnāt pay, so I wonder if Elmo will give in
heāll never sell another book, obviously
Heh. I remember when the yokes were first introduced some Tesla fans posted videos of themselves driving these cars, trying very, very hard to stay enthusiastic about the idea even after experiencing how much they sucked. But you could tell their hearts werenāt in it.

Sounds about right. Musk was about 11 when Knight Rider premiered on television. But maybe he was 12 by the time it made it to South Africa?

I should clarify:
I meant early on when options were limited, say 2010-2013-ish.
Back then there were choices, but no manufacturer was really pushing their line-up.
Save for the Prius, every US automobile seller didnāt really push their electric offerings. Ford & Chevy offered full electric vehicles. Ford & Lexus also offered hybrids. There are a ton of others.
I am part of the problem; I own a 2016 Focus when I could have opted for the electric version
Amusing, but Iām not a Russian plant. Besides, I donāt see the Trabant in this list. (I was born in Germany).

Letās check in how things are going for Mr. Free Speechās company
The blocked Twitter accounts include those belonging to journalists Pieter Friedrich, Sandeep Singh, Kamaldeep Singh Brar, and Gagandeep Singh; Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh and poet Rupi Kaur; and pro-Khalistan member of parliament Simranjit Singh Mann. A number of these accounts, which include prominent Sikh voices in the diaspora, were putting out credible information amid the current turmoil in Punjab.

Elon Muskās next big revenue bet is that companies really, really, really want to show up as āverified.ā All evidence suggests that very few Twitter users are interested in paying Elon $8/month to constantly break the site or engage in ego-driven experiments that make the general experience worse.
A few weeks ago, we found out that heās trying to get organizations to pay $42,000 a month to access the Twitter API, and maybe that was just a framing technique. Because >Twitter has announced the next round of its check mark program, which begins with deleting the ālegacyā checkmark holders (which, honestly, to many of us is a huge relief), but also telling businesses and organizations they need to pay $1,000/month if they want to keep their checkmark.

They only need to increase that by 20 some times to be able to make the interest payment. Should be easy for a genius like Elon. (/s)

Rest of World also had this article on the 20th.
āElon Muskās arrival has meant changes that have rehabilitated polarizing, insidious and hate-spreading discourses [on Twitter],ā Rafael Morales, associate researcher at UNAM Civic Innovation Lab, a public policy research laboratory in the National Autonomous University of Mexico, told Rest of World. He worries that, as Twitter becomes more permissive of hate speech, the increased criticism against it has ended up inadvertently amplifying it.
āThereās always a risk that when you say you hate hate-speech, you become a magnifier of the thing you hate,ā said Prudencio.
