It will become an Olympic event where you have to get from the shelf to the till before the price changes!

Google isn't blocking one of the biggest adblockers. It's killing chrome!

Those who aren't using an adblock won't notice any difference but everyone else will just migrate to a non chromium browser

And don't come to me with the "but shares are not money".

WTF are you on about? Where did I even alude to even suggesting that? Sounds like you're really desperate to simp for him.

His companies are notoriously overvalued (so his shares in a practical sense are worth shit) and he is massively over leveraged so those who devise those wealth chart tables are chatting shit.

The real wealthy are incredibly private about their worth whereas boastful egotists like musk are all show no substance

I don't think musk does have that much money though. He's leveraged to the eyeballs & his businesses (Tesla & Space X) are not profitable without govt subsidies while starlink had repeatedly failed to meet targets & has competitors about to cut into it's market.

I have my suspicions that Peter Thiel is assisting him to a degree as Twitter serves his purpose.

That article is horrible, not for it's content but their insistence of underlining words and phrases in sentences as links but it creates false emphasis and makes it unreadable!

They need to learn to develop some subtlety with their word cloud link nonsense

And when evidence later emerges that they were killed by the Israeli military (for example).. theyll just shrug their shoulders

It's not a compo face article. That was pulled from her social media as she was murdered.

Little bit of pop trivia for you.....

The version that was covered by Tight Fit that was an 80s one hit wonder in the UK, was produced by Tim Friese-Greene.

He also produced "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby and was also a co-writer, producer and player on Talk Talk's final three albums!

One that I was surprised to learn that I like to share is Grace Jones 'Private Life' was originally by The Pretenders.

Hynde is quoted as saying: Like all the other London punks, I wanted to do reggae, and I wrote "Private Life". When I first heard Grace's version I thought 'Now that's how it's supposed to sound!' In fact it was one of the highpoints of my career - what with Sly and Robbie being the masters, and Grace Jones with her scorching delivery.

Not really a cover but it used such a huge chunk that it pretty much is...

Beyonce "Crazy In Love" is basically The Chi-lites "Are You My Woman"

The vast majority of his wealth is wrapped up in stock of a massively overvalued car company and the loans he needed to buy twitter have huge interest payments and he doesn't have the cash to pay them
