every planet that spacex goes to will, technically, be new to them. it’s the absent “if any” clause that’s the real stickler here
fwiw: i also initially read it as “new to humans” - exoplanet - because that’s the general star trek sense of the word
none of which workers at twitter will have anything at all to do with. but it’s clear that the goal of making twitter good ( making twitter terrible? ) is not enough of a job motivator for their employees
( though, i suppose the truth of it is: the more twitter distracts musk, the better chance tesla and spacex have of being functioning companies… so working at twitter may have some small utility after all. )
But they’re part of the same constellation of companies! Incidentally most stars in a constellation have nothing to do with each other, they just kind of line up from our particular angle to make a pattern. I think this one is called “the Alazon”.
Alazṓn (Ancient Greek: ἀλαζών) is one of three stock characters in comedy of the theatre of ancient Greece.[1] He is the opponent of the eirôn. The alazṓn is an impostor that sees himself as greater than he actually is. The senex iratus (the angry father) and the miles gloriosus (the braggart soldier) are two types of alazṓn
Exo means outside. An exo-planet is one which is outside the solar system. Otherwise the word would mean any planet which is outside Earth, in other words a planet. Plain nonsense in anyone’s language.
It will still be maybe in a few more years in a few more years. The only path to real self driving is regulatory capture and externalising the cost by changing all our roads and keeping non self driving cars and all other traffic (people using any other kind of transportation including their feet) off the roads which we will build to the specs of the car industry.
Which is why it’s essential that we fight them every time they pop up.
And yes, I actually have been ranting the above rant for 10 years. Ten years ago I got publicly mocked and ridiculed for that opinion. Doesn’t seem to happen any more.

Jonestown used Flavor Aid, Sharkleberry Fin never hurt anybody (looks shiftily side to side ignoring the fact that diabetes exists) !
When I run for the office of Leader of Everything, I will make it my priority to teach this truth to all and makes certain that everyone uses an accurate cultural reference!

Well, she voluntarily took the job and had the choice of standing up to the used-car salesman at the helm or become a sycophant, and she CHOSE the latter.
my point was that “drinking the kool-aid” is used to mean a person willing to believe a delusion even unto death. and there are two things wrong with that concept: 1) it was flavor aid, and 2) people were forced to drink the poison.
my personal opinion, but i find the “forced to kill themselves” the more important part to mention.
and it certainly doesn’t apply in this case. ( the violence of twitter is directed at the users, anyway. especially these days.)
Blackmail is the practice of making somebody do something by threatening to reveal something about them that they don’t want to be made known, isn’t it? What was Musk referring to? That the advertisers would only buy ads unless he did… what?
