Elon Musk almost needed SFPD wellness check after ‘breakdown,’ getting booed at Dave Chappelle show
‘He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset’ that Twitter employees feared he would hurt himself, the author of a new book says about the billionaire.

So not a National Security threat? How does West Point not know what the liberals of HROT are convinced of?
You guys better call over there and put them together quick!

Ah yes, Business Insider and anonymous sources. Just good enough to be a tabloid story.
It’s Ben Mezrich, one of the best tech and finance writers of the last thirty years.
I have to give props to the doctor that did Elon’s plugs. The Picasso of hair transplant.
Yeah, you'd think, but, it's Eloon. I can see this being true, and I haven't seen an emphatic denial from Musk about it.
My guess is this account gets expunged fairly soon...
Weird that the scum bag Saudi prince is the least scummy sounding person rounding out Musk's ownership partners in Twitter.
This is a great video from @JOBhakdi, founder of @quantgene on the significance of Elon Musk:
1) Elon's ability to repeatedly do the impossible shows that it's not luck, but rather that Elon has a successful methodology.
2) What is not to be learned here is that only Elon can do it, but that if we find and develop the right people, that it's repeatable. Those people are rare, maybe a few in the world, but they certainly exist.
3) What's significant about Elon is that he's shining the light forward and that we can have hope and faith in continued human progress - and that we should imitate him and support others like him to achieve universal human progress.
4) We are being given a gift that goes beyond better products. He's provided a blueprint for how to make the impossible possible. It's a targeted way of engineering reality.
5) If what Elon has done is repeatable, that would be the greatest invention. We need Elons reforming education, capital, healthcare, medicine, government, and cities. That would redefine civilization.
The Saudi angle isn’t new.

The dude rolled over his stake that he already had in Twitter.
Musk did this with a bunch of the existing large investors.
It’s why it was always a mistake to say he paid $44 billion for the company. That was the price, but he never was the sole owner.
How's Eloon taking being banned in Brazil?
I know reading past the headlines is demonstrably not ‘your thing’, but the contention in Brazil is that there has been no legal process, just edicts without basis in Brazilian law from the head of the Supreme Court.
By Sunday evening, X had been blocked across Brazil, aside from customers of Starlink.
The blackout is the result of a monthslong dispute between Mr. Musk and Justice Moraes. For years, the justice has been carrying out a sweeping campaign to clean up the Brazilian internet, in part by ordering social networks to suspend accounts that he says spread disinformation, hate speech or threats to democracy. He has often issued those orders under seal and with no explanation for why an account should be taken down, according to leaked copies of the orders.
Many of his orders have targeted prominent right-wing lawmakers and pundits, making Justice Moraes a top enemy of Mr. Bolsonaro and his supporters. In April, Mr. Musk began criticizing the judge in posts on X, calling him a dictator and accusing him of illegally censoring conservative voices.
In recent weeks, X began ignoring orders from Justice Moraes to block X accounts. Justice Moraes then threatened to arrest X’s legal representative in Brazil. Mr. Musk responded by pulling X’s team from the country.
On Friday, Justice Moraes ordered Anatel to block X across the nation of 200 million because the company lacked a physical presence in Brazil. He also said that people in Brazil who use privacy software called virtual private networks, or VPNs, to circumvent the blackout and use X could face fines of nearly $9,000 a day, more than what the average Brazilian earns a year.
On Saturday, X began publishing sealed orders from Justice Moraes that directed X to suspend certain accounts. Mr. Musk shared the posts and criticized Justice Moraes, adding “Karma’s a b*tch bro.”
The post Musk’s Starlink Defies Order to Block X in Brazil appeared first on New York Times.
I’m trying to envision the response if Chief Justice Roberts began issuing secret edicts to take Bernie Sanders, AOC, Peter Schiff, etc off social media.
