  1. Lex Fridman and David Pakman, both of you are doing a great service to America and the world---and I hope Lex's videocasts are broadcast in Russia too; it's Lex's home country. Lex has brought so many minds up front and center and David has been instrumental in helping people distinguish the truth from the hype. I think your discussion about Twitter is important because Mr Musk should not own it. It's only an opinion, but from across the world from you it looks like Elon has bought himself a personal megaphone in Twitter and tweets and somehow it looks like overkill; it looks like a mega-billionaire who has his hand in everything; he is everywhere on the American game board; he's the goalie on both teams; he can now send rockets to mars; he can build fantastic cars, but to own Twitter is going too far because the social media post that everyone used to like for its quirkiness has now Elon changing this and changing that and could it be that discreetly, ever so discreetly, he is molding the American mindset into his (autocratic?) vision of the world? This is what I think is happening and as much as I admire Elon for his contribution to society, I do not like him owning mind space. it does not bode well for the general public and especially young people for one person to be so omnipresent. It's like one size fits all only it's one person's personal touch on how people communicate, travel to work, travel in space etc. Diversity is dying in America because the system cranks out billionaires who write the rules for all of us to follow. Elon is not to blame; he's a shining example of how capitalism is supposed to work, but he is also a product of a toxic economic system that is really feudalism on steroids. I write too much, but does anything I say make sense? Is it alright for you guys that Elon has now made his brand and his empire into what could be metaphorically called wall to wall carpeting covering what some people might consider too many aspects of American society?
