I don’t know of her being “low” or “low class” at all. She is not physically beautiful to me but I doubt I am physically beautiful to her. This doesn’t imply class or behaviour. Who cares?

names were taken from the work people did or some other aspect of their lives.  
Grimes would imply low status. maybe an ancestor cleaned bilges.

True but she chose this name. It wasn’t her birth name. Who knows what was in her mind when she chose it? I assumed it had something to do with being grimy but really I have no idea.

Elon is no longer the richest man in the world. This could change again next week.

> A sharp drop in Tesla’s share price this week has wiped some $27 billion from its CEO Elon Musk’s enormous fortune. The carmaker’s stock has been tumbling for four days in a row amid a wider tech sell-off.

If I could have collected this win, I would have felt like the richest person in the world.

There is something really thought-provoking about this guy and where he’s taking us in the future.

He is less dislikeable than Bezos but I’m trying.

No doubt and I’m happy you got that off your chest. I could tell it was weighing heavy on you. The fact that he is taking satellites into space so the entire world can have internet access is fascinating to me because that means there is nowhere on the face of the earth that the Gospel can’t be preached.

And then many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one other.  
Many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.  
Because lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold.  
But the one who endures to the end will be saved.  
This Good News of the kingdom shall be proclaimed in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.  
Matthew 24: 10-14

Didn‘t form an opinion about Elon Musk yet, but I like his mother and also his brother appear to be a very likeable person. From the little bit she says about him in this interview, though.

I just don‘t get the hype about the electric car, as it‘s not environmentally friendly at all.

I don’t have an opinion of him. Although I think long term, he will be good for the world. No new car is good for the environment. I would just get another used at this point. If I get a new one, it will probably be electric. There is no point in getting an electric car right now. Let’s say you buy an electric car for 45000. In 2 years, a new electric car might be 35000. You will never be able to sell it, since a new one will be cheaper and in 2 years you could get better range.

I also have not driven in traffic for a year. I’m a little concerned with the lack of exhaust fumes that won’t be warming up the roads in the winter.

Waiting for solid state or hydrogen fuel cell?

No, I don‘t have the money for any car. I‘ll save my money to be able to buy me a tiny house if needed when retiring and to pay the bills for my four pets as also they get older. Luckily I don‘t need a car for most of the time. Most things are in reach within a 15 minutes drive on my cargo e-bike.

lol geez Gunda, do you just adopt any old strays off the street or do you make periodic stops at the pound? Either way, I think that’s sweet.  
I can’t deal with 4 dogs (assuming your pets are dogs). Pets require so much love and attention. I would have to get frisbees and balls. Then, after I’ve come in from work and they have rested, they will want to play. And the food…I don’t even want to imagine how much food I would have to purchase to keep them satisfied for one week.  
You seem committed and patient. Good luck with your pets lol.

He mentioned earlier that a lot of people will die on his plane to mars, but it will still be worth it. They might get stranded there if they get that far.

I agree with that, and agree that it’s still worth it. I just dislike that he is becoming an attention whore.
