    Musk will most likely blame it on South African apartheid and him being discriminated against.

    Keep it up world. Bankrupt Musk. Let’s make the world’s richest man, the poorest. Rob him of absolutely everything.

      Were white South Africans negatively impacted by the apartheid system or does he enjoy reframing his privilege as oppression like a whiny little bitch?

      Just from the way the man speaks you can tell there’s so much self doubt as his conscience cries out to admit the fraud that he is.

    He’s a billionaire, of course he has some relations with crime, Musk is just dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud.

        The 30 billion in losses here are almost 10% of his net worth. That’s a bit more than 0.10 dollars to most people.

      I would hesitate before judging someone purely on one statistic but it’s difficult to imagine how one amasses that sort of money ethically. If I asked you to think of a billionaire that you would leave in charge of children, who would you pick? Bill Gates perhaps, Warren Buffet? It’s slim pickings.

      Jon Ronson advanced the idea that psychopathy is over-represented in the CEO class and presented some compelling examples in his book, The Psychopath Test.

        It simply can’t be done. How can it be ethical to earn millions times more than you could ever need, while others are in need of it. That’s unethical regardless of if how it was earned. Not a big Jesus fan, but he’s quite right about the need to share with those in need.

      this is what happens when you run a government the way you’re used to running the monopoly you own. “hardball” doesn’t work on the global stage.

      Is that the one with the egg inside? I’d be willing to try it once, but tbh, sounds like a waste of both perfectly good egg and perfectly good coffee.

        No, it’s just common Löfbergs coffee sold here. I think it’s the best coffee you can buy. It’s originated from Sweden.

          Oh, I see. Worked as a barista for like a year or so. Tried a bunch of different supermarket coffees and different cafes and styles and stuff trying to get better at it and also looking for better coffee to make at home.

          Finally settled on an aeropress+ beans from a local roaster while at home as I feel it’s the best value/money and also a couple of other factors such as filter coffee being apparently slightly better for you as you get less coffee oils in the cup and it’s also much easier to make than a v60, for example.

          40€ aeropress+ fresh ground coffee from a local roastery is my recommendation to anyone looking for great and easy coffee at home. Better than any coffee chain coffee and only a bit worse than coffee from a specialty coffee place. Add a grinder for 200€ and that difference gets even smaller.

          That may sound like a snob talking, but everyone that came over and tried our coffee was impressed. Including people that don’t normally drink coffee. My favourite bit is when they’re surprised that they don’t need to put sugar in it. Only people I haven’t managed to convert yet are people that drink Nespresso for the convenience. Oh, and hardcore espresso drinkers that insist that strong, bitter coffee has more caffeine even tho that’s been disproven.

            Daily moka pot user here. My preference is to add a very small amount of brown sugar and then top with some frothed (spun) oat milk.

            Guatemalan Antigua, Yirgacheffe, and Peruvian Penachi are favorites, and of course a decent grinder (you can get a hand-turn burr grinder for pretty cheap, but the automatic ones tend to be pricy like you mentioned).

            I’m a big fan of French press too, as a back up, which I would imagine is similar to aero - I haven’t had that yet though!

              The methods are comparable, yes, aeropress is like a filter + immersion merged into one.

              Haven’t found a favourite origin or variety of coffee, tbh. I’ve had both meh and good coffee from all over the place.

              If I were to pick something, I’d say that recently I’ve had a lot of good coffee from Colombia. Especially this guy Nestor Lasso that’s experimenting with fermentation. Best coffee I’ve ever had was his. Really amazing. But also like 26€ for 250g, so… plus 10 for delivery, as the local guy doesn’t have it. That’s too expensive to get constantly, unfortunately. But I do get a bag 1/2 times a year when I get an email that they’ve restocked it.

      Wasn’t president Musk’s announcement that he was going to BUY twitter a tweet? Seeing as it’s worth fuck-all now that’s in the running.

          To be fair, buying Twitter was instrumental in him getting Trump to the presidency.

          Like any Billionaire, he needed a media outlet to manufacture consent with - I’d argue that him buying Twitter wasn’t as stupid a move as it initially seems.

          Buying the company was the decision to take over the communications channel by dictators worldwide. It wasn’t an accident and he doesn’t care about the value of shitter in the long term.
