Elon Musk sent Starlink satellite Internet service to Ukraine. It seems to be helping.

Red Planet real estate is looking very unlikely to hit the market any time soon.

SAN ANTONIO (WOAI/KABB) — An Elon Musk-backed proposal to build a tunnel connecting downtown San Antonio to the city’s airport is moving forward. The Alamo Regional Mobility Authority decided to take the next step in the project from The Boring Company to build the system. The Boring Company is owned by Elon Musk, and submitted the idea to Alamo RMA after they asked for proposals to increase revenues. No decisions were made in regards to approval of development.

Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas is about to start its operations, and when it does, it would be one of the United States’ most ambitious vehicle production facilities. The massive factory, which Elon Musk has noted will be almost a mile long when completed, is expected to hire thousands of workers in the area.

The arrival of Tesla in Texas and the influx of companies moving into the state will likely trigger an increase in the number of people residing in cities like Austin. With this in mind, Austin transit leaders recently stated that the city’s transportation network would play a critical role in aiding or hindering further development. After all, all those new workers need a way to get to and from their jobs.

The discussions were held during a South by Southwest panel on Thursday, where transportation startup leaders highlighted that Austin’s efforts to invest in new mass transit operations are steps in the right direction. Austin-based AI Fleet CEO Marc El Khoury noted that the city and its surrounding areas would be attractive for companies developing innovative transit technologies.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has officially confirmed his prediction for when he thinks humans will finally land on Mars. But it might be too optimistic.

Tesla inflates, SpaceX launches, Elon Musk gets mad.

Tesla talks about nationwide inflation, SpaceX launches Starlink and celebrates its 20th birthday, Musk gets mad at Putin on Twitter about Ukraine.

EXCLUSIVE 19-year-old Jack Sweeney famous for keeping tabs on the private jets of Elon Musk and the world’s wealthy elite reveals why he isn’t afraid of Russian president Vladimir Putin after setting up new jet tracker dailystar.

Sooner or later Musks childish, morally and politically inept use of social media will thwart his greater (and great) ambition. Whatever your personal beliefs, there is exactly ZERO doubt that every generation since and including millennials has become exponentially less willing to tolerate this kind of stuff. Musk is going to NEED to both the fresh and enthusiastic intelligence and majority scale support, and not JUST in SpaceX research labs and on site engineering teams either.

He’s going to need IMMENSE, PROLONGED, and RELIABLE political support even as the reins of power are being passed from one generation to the next. If he keeps using Twitter like he has nothing to lose and no one’s support He’s going to find that he really does no longer have anything to lose nor anyones support.

At that point, he’ll have difficulty getting from city to city, much less get to Mars to build CITIES or become a secure, far more survivable interplanetary civilization!

AS ASTRONOMER Royal, you have to assume Martin Rees isn’t in it for the money: £100 a year is the reward for advising the UK monarch on all matters astronomical.

It is just one of many hats Rees has worn, though – including president of both the Royal Astronomical Society and the Royal Society and, since 2005, as an appointed member of the UK’s House of Lords. His work as a government adviser and public face of science has come on the back of an equally distinguished career in cosmology stretching back more than half a century, encompassing seminal research on the nature of the big bang and black holes, extreme phenomena throughout the cosmos, the search for life elsewhere in the universe and, latterly, humanity’s own fate within it.
