A Tesla Smartphone Is Not an Idle Threat

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 11/29/2022 12:00:55 AM

In what I suspect is a spate of misinformed zealotry, Apple has threatened to remove the Twitter app from its App Store. At least, according to Twitter CEO Elon Musk. This is all part of the effort by left-wing zealots to “punish” Twitter for proposing to end censorship based on political leanings. Mr. Musk said that, if pressed, he would launch his own line of phones in response. Should Apple CEO Tim Cook take such a threat seriously, or can he laugh it off? I think he’d best take it very seriously.

Diversification is not a monopoly to be busted. Ma Bell was supposedly a monopoly and the government broke her up into useless little companies like Verizon. Delving into multiple product-lines is done by most corporations.

I would LOVE to see Apple’s monopoly on the smart phone crushed. That said, I have to admit they make a great, quality product.

Elon Musk reminds me of Howard Hughes minus the crazy. When Hughes was building the early satellites he came up with the idea of satellite TV. And I bet if the technology was available in his era he would have built rocket ships also.

Musk can build a smartphone very easily. I think it would be very profitable, even if sold at a huge discount to Apple's phones.

Welp, lets say Tesla builds this phone with an app that can only be used from that phone to control, update and modify the Tesla ev. Makes most Tesla ev owners current phone pretty useless, eh? How about only a Space X phone would have an app necessary to control your Starlink system? See where this going? Apple and boogl need to sit back and shout at a wall together and determine if the threats they casually spew are worth pursuing.

So a phone that can be used anywhere? A phone that reaches out to Starlink when no cell tower can be reached? I know when I get into true wilderness my cell phone does not connect. Including many places where analog wireless worked superbly for calls. Maybe not extremely expensive? Where having extra memory and storage doesn't cost a month's pay? Maybe generous cloud storage included? Maybe from a company that is truly insanely great and not insanely greedy? And what apps can't be replaced? Maybe Linux based and using the Linux development community to make great free/inexpensive apps? With a non biased search engine? How is google working for you these days? A couple people might want a phone like that.

Kirk was holding a speaking engagement with the conservative organization's chapter at the school when protesters - some masked, many screaming obscenities - came out in full force.  Some were yelling out: 'F--k Charlie Kirk!' and 'F**k Erica' in reference to the local chapter president, Erica Rodriguez.

Elon Musk has announced that a wireless device developed by his brain chip company Neuralink is expected to begin human clinical trials in six months, and one of its first targeted applications is restoring vision.  The new Twitter CEO held a 'Show and Tell' event on Wednesday where he spoke about how the brain chip interfaces could enable disabled patients to move and communicate again. 'It's like replacing a piece of the skull with a smartwatch,' he said.  The first two human applications targeted by the Neuralink device will be in restoring vision and enabling movement of muscles in people who cannot do so, Musk said.

A day before the full pomp of a state banquet, the Bidens ducked out of the White House for an informal dinner with the French president and his wife at a Washington restaurant.  They picked Fiola Mare, an Italian spot on the Georgetown waterfront, for the rendezvous. On Thursday night, President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte will be afforded the first state dinner of the Bidens' time at the White House - complete with 200 lobsters and Napa Valley wine. Macron is getting the full works, starting Wednesday with a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, then discussing space cooperation with Vice President at NASA headquarters in Washington.

The Biden administration announced it will pay $75 million to relocate three Native American tribes whose communities are being impacted by climate change. The Interior Department's relocation grants, announced at the White House Tribal Nations Summit on Wednesday, will provide $25 million each to Washington State's Quinault Indian Nation, Alaska's Newtok Village and Alaska's Native Village of Napakiak.

While speaking at the White House Tribal Nations Summit on Wednesday, President Joe Biden hinted that he may not be running in 2024. This potentially truthful comment comes as a surprise considering the president has tried indicating in the past that he intends on running in the upcoming presidential election. As Biden was finishing up his speech an audience member shouted “four more years” at the president. “I don’t know about that,” Biden surprisingly replied. “Thanks — thank you.” WATCH the clip below: (Tweet/Video)

Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and Secretary John Kerry both failed to show up for Prince William and Kate Middleton's Earthshot event in Boston on Wednesday evening. Kerry, the presidential envoy for climate, informed the Prince and Princess earlier today that he would 'sadly no longer be able to attend,' but did not clarify why. Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy who is currently serving as the US Ambassador to Australia, said she experienced 'disrupted travel plans' due to the harsh weather lashing the east coast. That weather, however, appeared to have led to very few cancellations at airports in Boston and in New York, according to FlightAware.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson took part in heated oral arguments during an immigration case on Tuesday, taking a stunning swipe at President Biden’s Department of Justice and rejecting the White House’s interpretation of federal law.

The case before the high court was brought by Texas and Louisiana which are challenging Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ 2021 memo that contends federal agents should review the “totality” of an illegal immigrant’s threat to public safety rather than

Big changes are coming to Disney, and though I would have never suspected it given past history, it looks like Bob Iger is looking to turn away from overt political activism. Iger returned to the role of CEO in the last few weeks, having started Disney’s woke revolution many years ago. Yet, the company’s disastrous battle with Florida’s Ron DeSantis has him ready to change course. According to Iger, he regrets the clash with the rock-star Republican governor and will look to move Disney toward a more neutral position in the culture wars. Better late than never, I suppose, and to be sure, there’s still a bit
UK Diversity Group Calls to Rethink Christmas

Too many people feel left out of Christmas celebrations due to their own faith – or lack of it – so the traditional Christian season should be downplayed, a UK-based diversity lobby group said. The call comes after statistics showed less than half of the population of England and Wales described themselves as Christian in the 2021 census, meaning Christianity is now a minority religion, as Breitbart News reported. Both atheism and Islam are making major gains as more people reportedly feel left out as a “heavy emphasis on celebrating the birth of Jesus,” can exclude others, according to Watch This Sp_ce, a self-described diversity and inclusion consultancy.

In 2020, the Anti-Defamation League labeled Farrakhan as the “most popular antisemite in America.” Obama, Biden, and all others who continue to work with and reward Iran as its leaders and its extremists pledge(d) death to the U.S. and Israel.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin went off on the “bonehead” Congressional Republicans threatening to derail Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid to be the next speaker of the House. Levin used his show on Tuesday to talk about how the Republican Party’s slim majority in the House of Representatives may cause a struggle for McCarthy to get the votes he needs to succeed Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Hard-right members of the Congressional GOP have publicly opposed McCarthy’s bid for the speakership, so the House minority leader is currently trying to bring these factions in line and secure the 218 votes he needs.

House Democrats voted Wednesday to make Rep. Hakeem Jeffries their leader in the next Congress, replacing 82-year-old Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Jeffries won the post in an uncontested election after Pelosi and the two other incumbent members of the Democratic leadership, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, opted to step down. Jeffries, a 52-year-old New Yorker, will be the first African American to serve as House Democratic leader. "Leadership is incredibly important," said Jeffries. "When we get an opportunity as diverse leaders to serve in positions of consequence, the most meaningful thing we can do in that space is an incredibly good job."

In one of the most appalling appropriations of a political banner in years—or at least since Trump decided in 2012, after years of changing party registrations, finally to settle on calling himself a Republican—some of the conservatives hoping to salvage the GOP’s fortune after the 2022 midterms are trying to seize and redefine the term Never Trump to mean a rejection of “only Trump, and no other Republicans who are like him.”

Oh, Joe, bless your clueless heart; you don’t even see the irony. Yes, your intentionally destructive policies “did so much” harm to everyday American families that “nobody knows the effects” of how bad things will get–and how long it will take to recover after you’ve vamoosed from office, one way or another. Biden, on Tuesday, defended his ill-fated “American Rescue Plan” for the zillionth time by arguing that the (at least) $1.9 trillion spending spree helped enable local governments to keep paying their employees (which does zero to help productivity). He also boasted of his additional trillions in spending for government-subsidized health care, manufacturing, infrastructure, and so-called “green energy.”

Supporters argued that police can be trusted to use the robots, which could help stop a mass casualty event. Opponents said approving the use of killer robots was like something out of a science fiction movie, and a threat to the poor and to people of color.
