The reason is that Musk needs $30 bn that he doesn't have now. Full stop. That's bad for a co. that promised to already be on Mars by now.
The amount of ownership he's selling is pathetic, and for NFT prices. He's selling an NFT.

Very slight reading between the lines. The "old code" is an Elon Mode he built for himself, that he pushed to the world on a whim. While high? Dunno.
But Elon built a Nazi button, knew he had a Nazi button, and he pushed it to the whole world for reasons only he understands.

xAI says that Grok's antisemitic outburst was caused by an accidental restoration of old code that told Grok to be "maximally based." It ended up too closely mirroring extremist views from X users. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/t...

If kids are all brain rotted and atrophied from spending all day indoors then why does it seem like all the kids in my neighborhood spend all day doing sick wheelies up and down the street?
Seriously, it's gratuitous. We didn't do this when I was a kid.
Is there someone I should call?

OK, you know how you can get a wide selection of fruits and veggies here any time of the year, including stuff well outside of its traditional growing season here in the US?
How do you think that happens? Where do apples come from in, say, April?

How much of hate directed at "leftists" is really just at the fact that the Internet sucks? The "left" gets blamed for cancel culture, but a mob's ability to harass a person out of public is non-partisan, and currently well embodied by Musk's Twitter.
What does this even mean? Were leftists annoying online and did institutions put out some dumb guidance on vocabulary? Yes.
Was this a threat that required anywhere near the attention it received at a time when Republicans were becoming increasingly authoritarian? Get real.
