The best leaders are great delegators. They set the goals and vision, then hire the very best people to get it done and empower them to do so. Elon deserves so much credit for his companies, because he is a great leader in this respect. He sees trends, what can be done and makes it happen...

Managers can suck, workers can suck, people can suck. My experience in the working world has shown me how easily bloat can happen when money is flush. It always seems to be the same, you have a worker that does "task X", which is vital for operations but a bit repetitive/boring/hard work...

They did lots of bad things. Free speech didn't enable them to do it, the actions - or lack there of - of others did. If they clearly say they hate Jews - which they did - and people elected them, the problem is not in free speech but in the morals and values of those that elected them. Free...

1. Lots of things are private businesses, but that doesn't mean companies have a right to restrict service based on race, gender, political views, etc. Further, I would argue - and so would Mark Zuckerberg - that large social media has transcended being a service and into a utility that should...

The Nazi platform includes nationalizing the press (and everything else), ending free speech. It is classic dictator action.

How do you know it's a lie?

No. Absolute free speech is simply that. You're allowed to say things. No deplatorming. No cutting your phone lines or banning use of the post office. Just as you are free to move or gather. If in your gathering you decide to run over some other gathering with your car, you've committed a...

Point 23 of their election platform is literally the end of independent press.

To convince me you'd actually have to show data that proves it to be the case. This most recent study you shared actually makes the argument in the opposite direction. You're saying free speech CAUSES violence. That study doesn't, in any way say that. It says that violent, racist people...

Iran and Nazi Germany are examples of people being killed because of speaking in a place where free speech is banned. I don't know that anyone was killed BECAUSE of the words. They were killed to prevent the words.

Well, I'm a scientist and engineer, one with a specific focus on stats and probability, so you'd have to present evidence that free speech causes hate crimes and not rely on feelings. There is nothing to say the Charlottesville driver attacked because of free speech any more than free speech...

Saying STFU is free speech!

You keep going on about hate crimes - which they are. What you are not doing, is showing any connection with free speech.

There's lots of hate crimes. I'm saying, who has been killed because of free speech. The argument against free speech is always that it creates hate crimes, but I see no evidence. I think the hate is already there. If anything, silencing voices creates more radicalization.

No, it doesn't have limits, it has consequence. I know nothing about Alex Jones and his trial. I do know Elon said things he shouldn't have said with regards to Tesla shares, and he paid the appropriate price. As I said, I don't agree with everything he says, just that he can say it. I don't...

Who have been killed?

I agree with some of Elon's stuff, and not others. But I don't want him to shut up. I mean, some stuff he says I think could get him killed, so I don't want that to happen, but outside of that, speak away, regardless of what I think. Fundamentally, a quality that makes Elon great at what he...

Today I actually saw a man wearing a "gasoline forever" TShirt. That is.... something.

That's a perspective, for sure.

Unified political opinions on all topics based on "right" or "left" leaning have always been both fascinating and dumb to me. Why are positions on gun control and abortion linked? Makes no sense. Anyway, the right wing position that I find most inconsistent with right wing values is the...
