    Yep it was amazing. The first DDoS attack of its kind. It only affected Trump's Space. No other spaces nor anything else on Xitter. Another 1st for Trump!

    He didn't found most of those companies. Only 2. Zip2 and SpaceX - which by the way succeeded because of a gov't program created by Obama/Biden.

    He was not the founder of Paypal. Rather the company he stated, X.com was merged with another company. He did a terrible job his first 6 months after the merger, and was fired. The company was reorganized under Theil who changed the name to Paypal. Must did little to contribute to PayPal beyond the users he contributed to X.

    Admins, can we disable the renaming of threads? That's confusing.

    As for Musk, I can understand not liking him, but I don't understand the people why try to minimize his accomplishments or talent. Sure, there is some luck involved in his success, and sure there were other business talents doing important work that he glommed onto, and sure there were government administrative choices that were greatly beneficial to his companies. But, he did do something to make sure he was the beneficiary of all these developments. It can't be a complete accident. Doesn't mean he's the smartest or best, but he's at least smart and good. Reminds me of the saying about luck: Luck happens at the intersection of preparation and opportunity. He was in the right place at the right time, but he was also ready to take full advantage. Props to him. Doesn't mean I give a rat's ass about his opinions on free speech or on government, but he's a good businessman.

    One, he flies a bit close to bribery for votes. He's far enough away that I don't think he's actually breaking the law, but I don't think it's ethical. Two, I'm a little offended that his pledge only covers the first 2 amendments. Should I infer he's not so keen on due process or on states' rights?
