Why is Elon Musk spending his time on Twitter, not on the mission to Mars?

Elon Musk spending his time on Twitter, not on

the mission to Mars

Friends and colleagues say his plans may be hard to predict, but they wouldn't bet against him. I have been watching Elon Musk for a number of years and more closely than ever in recent months, since he decided seemingly on a whim to buy The Social Network Twitter. I want to tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone, I believe that Elon Musk is being pushed supported and protected by the American government. Then of course, there is his own personal story, The Tall 51 year old billionaire with 10 children, ranging in age from 12, 18. His first son died, aged just 10 weeks, mosque, who was born in South Africa, has described living with Asperger's Syndrome, a type of autism and stated that his main goal in life is to colonize Mars. What I have learned is, as perhaps, with many of us, there are many different faces of Elon Musk. He is one of the world's richest men, sometimes the richest depending on the price of Tesla shares his main financial asset with a string of other high-profile companies. 

Under his wing including Tesla SpaceX starlink and neurolink

He is also a subject of global fascination. The Persona he projects via his prolific tweets, his provocative controversial and bombastic he loves a rude meme knows whatever he says will make headlines around the world and enjoys trolling the media with ever more outlandish statements and jokes. He likes trying to goad us journalists into writing ever more extreme headlines in public. He has learned to be a showman. Whether dancing alongside electric car, making robots emerging triumphantly from the latest slick Tesla prototype or being filmed. Walking into Twitter's headquarters carrying a sink let that sink in was the gag playing off a popular meme on the site this Halloween, he attended a party in leather armor a $7500 costume called The Devil's champion. And yet, Talulah Riley, his ex wife, whom he married twice. Described him in BBC documentary series, The Elon Musk show as sweet and shy veteran, Silicon Valley, journalist and author. Mike Malone who has known mr. Musk for 20 years, tells me he sees a very reserved very smart, very introspective, and intellectual guy who spends long transatlantic flights with him, reading complex, trajectory tables, trying to work out, how to land a spacecraft on Mars. The I have a long-standing $5 for pounds bet over mr. Musk ox ambition, to send people to Mars, by 2030. I said, I don't think you can do it, but I hope you do. I hope I owe you the five dollars. Mr. Malone says that b still floating in the air, sending people to Mars as a lifelong goal for mr. Musk. Some say it is his take on long-term ISM, a philosophy favored by some very rich people which seeks to act in the interests of billions of people in the far future rather than Than focusing on the immediate needs of the present at some point, the human race is going to have to leave Earth. 

He says, and his interest in space is clearly signposted in his existing business portfolio, but where on Earth does Twitter fit in mr. Musk answered that question this week in a tweet social media in general, especially Twitter, were eroding civilization, he wrote If civilization collapses before, Mars become self-sustaining, then nothing else matters. Human, Consciousness is gone. But how was Twitter eroding civilization, mr. Musk said at the very beginning, his aim in buying the platform was to create a 21st century, digital global town square for discussing societies, big issues. He has written many times about perceived imbalance, under the previous regime arguing that right-leaning views were given less visibility by Twitter staff than left-leaning ones skewing debate and creating Echo. Chambers were nobody saw material that challenge their existing viewpoint. With some hand-picked journalists, he published the Twitter files, a selected set of internal documents to support his view, the amount of abuse and misinformation thrown around on the platform. Could also be seen as distracting from the real issues. Mr. Musk wants discussed, but as anyone who has ever tried, will know, navigating that tightrope between allowing free speech. And suppressing, hateful content is very, very hard. Maybe there is a connection somewhere in mr. Musk's mind between Twitter and neural link, which is to create a direct link between human brains and computers. Could it be that Twitter forms part of his research? And he has essentially bought himself a living breathing, neural network of 300 million, people sharing their lives and opinions in real time online. Okay. We are in the Realms of Science Fiction, but transporting that to another planet in some form would be one way of taking human consciousness away from Earth and we know mr. Musk likes a challenge. Mr. Musk has talked openly about preferring engineering and code to people growing up. He did not understand people did not necessarily say what they meant. He told a technology, entertainment design, Ted conference in Vancouver last year, in a text message released as part of court papers for a legal case against Twitter, that never actually happened. He wrote, I interface way better with Engineers who are able to do administration, Types of people and or frankly, I hate doing MGMT management stuff. I kind of don't think anyone should be the boss of anyone but I love helping solve technical product design problems.
