From The Irish Times:
“Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk discussed his planned acquisition of Twitter, recession fears and the US presidential race with Bloomberg at the Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday.
During the chat he also clarified how much of Tesla’s workforce would be laid off and said he hoped to unveil his prototype humanoid robot to the world by the end of September. Here’s the Q&A session in full:
Q: Elon Musk, thank you very much for coming and talking to us. You could argue at the moment that we in the media have at least three Elon Musks to deal with: We have the proposed buyer of Twitter; we have the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and much else; and we have Musk, the emerging political force — and that’s before we discover or discuss all the different provocations and tweets and so on.”
I agree with the idea of moving to new vehicles from gasoline- or diesel-fueled ones, but it hasn’t happened yet. I know almost nothing about Twitter, but it seems like a superficial and somewhat frivolous form of communication. I do use Facebook a lot, obviously.
