featured image - Elon Musk's Trajectory As a Stochastic Vector in Four Space

The proverbial BB in the shaken tin can analogy wherein the BB’s likely path is only predictable by probabalistic vector definitions. What he will say or do next is anybody’s guess.

I am not a fan of Elon Musk. I feel that he has failed his potential. Perhaps even more importantly I feel that his behavior is frequently unethical and hypocritical, even harmful to society.

This article is largely comprised of a bibliography of URL links about Musk that appeared on the Microsoft Start page of the Windows 10 Edge Web Browser. I didn’t elect to have the browser page display when Windows loads, this is what it did by default. It demonstrates Microsoft’s approach to capturing views.

My particular dislike for Elon stems from his arrogance and censorious manner on social media and elsewhere in the public forum. The man is constantly on the feed for one reason or another including the affairs of Tesla and SpaceX, but my concerns are less with his automotive enterprise and his rocket shop than they are with his behavior as the self professed free speech absolutist and moral arbiter for our time. As such my judgement is that his performance is rather poor.

In addition to content focused on Elon Musk there are entries for links to censorship events, other social media besides Twitter/X, government involvement, as well as current conflicts and contemporary events and people in the news. Some of the articles favor Musk or other subjects, some do not.
