Musk can be called a "data monster", before tesla cars to collect road information, after the StarLink plan to cooperate with the positioning, this acquisition of Twitter is not targeted, behind the global user big data. Musk's idea has always been wild, the first foot said that the pyramid was made by aliens, the latter foot said I want to go to Mars, engaged in a "Mars One" plan, and now says to acquire Twitter, huh?! This time he really succeeded in the acquisition.
Is it the devil or the genius?
It is said that Musk has an IQ of 153, no doubt "big smart", and the companies he founded are all under the banner of solving problems for mankind, for example, Tesla is to solve human dependence on oil energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and thus protect the environment. Space Exploration Corporation is equivalent to "Noah's Ark", in order to preserve the fire of mankind, lest a major disaster on the earth be put on the end of the pot, which is the ultimate destination of human destiny. Neuralink wants to achieve brain-computer interfaces, better work with AI to enter the future, and prevent the future AI from defecting in science fiction movies. The Starlink plan is to solve the problem that many people cannot achieve network connection. Each one is "a piece of dan heart". The idea that technology is born for human beings is pinched to death, and those who like him regard him as a "genius", and those who hate him regard him as a "devil".
But anyone who understands what Musk has said and done, he finds that this person is very good at combining virtual and real, in the virtual place, the endless speech attracts global attention, the real place, the diligent and earnest to make some achievements, and then the two are skillfully combined, as we all know, SpaceX and the Mars immigration plan, in fact, there is no half-cent relationship. This has produced an effect, to have traffic and strength, to say that you want to be a "full-time Internet celebrity" is not a joke. In a 2018 interview with the magazine 60 Minutes, Musk said, "You use your hairstyle to express your personality, and I use Twitter", look, he has always been a man who does what he says.
What is Musk's purpose in acquiring Twitter? Some say it's about getting user data, combining Tesla and Starlink plans to achieve his ambitions. Others say he's just trying to catch people's attention and become a world influencer. Let's take a look at his "resume" before commenting.
Influencer or doer
In 2006, Falcon One, a star wars tribute, finally stood on the launch pad, only to fall 25 seconds later, launch again in 2007, explode five minutes later, and fail again in 2008. Musk almost had to pack up and move into his father-in-law's basement, but he divorced in June, and this time he couldn't even live in the basement. Fortunately, the fourth launch of "Falcon One" in September was finally successful, and it suddenly won NASA's $1 billion contract, which led to the successful recovery of Falcon 9 at sea, which is a milestone event that will be written into the history of human spaceflight.
Don't worry about it, then look at it.
In 2021, Musk announced on social media that Tesla suspended accepting BTC payments, on the grounds that mining coins was not environmentally friendly, 300,000 people exploded on the same day, $4 billion disappeared, and less than two months later, he agreed to use BTC payments and repeatedly demonized. Before that, I could send 6 tweets a day to mention "Dogecoin", and then supported the use of exclusive payment methods, planning to use it to pay for the commercial lunar spacecraft program, making the coin circle call a bloody storm.
Before joining Twitter, Musk said he wanted to start a social media company that competed with Twitter to change the entire industry. The reason why I care so much about speech is probably that I see the power of public opinion on virtual currency, in order to better "bring goods", it is a good deal to "buy out" a media that affects the world. We all know that the platform will share the income of internet celebrities, and the platform is its own, so it is not cool and crooked.
Why are we afraid of Musk? Because Musk is not an idealist, he is a capitalist, and he is more proficient than ordinary capitalists in the perpetual motion machine of "marketing-capital-technology-marketing".
Idealist or intellectual?
At the height of the epidemic in the United States, there was a confirmed case every second, and the Tesla factory was forced to stop production, and the production capacity could not keep up. In March 2020, Musk predicted on Twitter that the epidemic in the United States would achieve zero growth at the end of April, the epidemic was not terrible, and the data of infected people was overestimated... Regardless of right and wrong, the clamor of reversing black and white, the purpose is very simple, that is, Tesla can not stop production, you say that he is rational, he firmly believes that the earth will be destroyed by nuclear explosions, plagues, comets hitting the earth and other extreme disasters, obsessed with the colonization of Mars, but when the earth really faces a plague, and turn a blind eye to objective facts. This is Musk, the goal is the first, values can be distorted, objective facts can be ignored, principles must give way, not to mention squeezing employees, compressing costs to heinous moves, and even treating his two wives very hard.
Therefore, every project of Musk is idealistic, and every implementation is rational, and the two cannot be confused. We can't just see the aspect of the Starlink plan disrupting the order of space, but we are more worried that the space program is taking shape, linking land vehicle terminals, and nothing else, carrying out an assassination is "blowing power".
Buying Twitter this time, some people said that it will change the world and achieve the ideal freedom of speech, originally the captain also believed, but with reference to the recent Starlink plan, wolf's ambitions are obvious to all. And human society does not have absolute freedom, just as Musk's contradiction exists, "how and how". Well, today about Musk, let's talk about this, life is very beautiful, thank you for having you, we will see you next time.
