SpaceX (which “bought” X and XAI yesterday) owns & operates the most prolific child-porn deepfake production & distribution platform in the world, very reasonable for countries to worry about that.

Blast from the past ... Elon Musk at age 27 interviewed in 1998 by "CBS Sunday Morning" about his startup company Zip2.

Elon initially invested $2,000. (Others invested more.) He and the investors sold it to Compaq in 1999 for $305 million.

@pauljdavies.bsky.social

One* of the head scratchers here is Meta makes >13 times the revenue of SpaceX and yet it worth just 40% more? I’ll astounded if this thing IPOs anywhere near that anytime soon.

*there are a lot of confusing things in this whole … thing.
