That's being overly flattering to our capabilities. Mars's atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, but it's the major component of an atmosphere that is hardly there. Raising the level of CO2 in Earth's atmospehre by a noticeable amount where it contributes to the greenhouse effect (which needs a substantial atmosphere to begin with to function) and producing enough CO2 on Mars in order for it to have a substantial atmosphere and enough CO2 for a potent greenhouse effect, are orders of magnitude apart.

Just take all the extra CO2 from Earth and put it on Mars. Two birds with one stone. Simple as.

I like how he just throws "doxxing" in there because its a triggerword for chuds. Doxxing is when you tie someone's online identity to their real identity and post that information publicly.

Reposting the public location of a jet isn't doxxing the jet, or the person who owns the jet. If I see an airplane in the sky I'm not doxxing it with my eyes.

10 Tesla Investors Lose $132.5 Billion From Musk's Twitter Fiasco


https://www.investors.com/etfs-and-funds/sectors/tesla-stock-investors-lose-132-5-billion-from-musks-twitter-fiasco/

Tesla (TSLA) investors are growing tired of Elon Musk's Twitter fiasco. And for good reason.

The 10 largest investors in the electric-vehicle maker's stock, including ETF giants Vanguard, BlackRock (BLK) and Musk himself, lost nearly $133 billion since Twitter's board accepted Musk's buyout on April 25, says an Investor's Business Daily analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence and MarketSmith.

Tesla's value is down more than 52% since the Twitter buyout was approved on April 25, while the S&P 500 is only off 5.5%. And Tesla stock is off 29% since the deal closed on Oct. 27, much worse than the S&P 500's 6.6% gain in that time. Shares are down again Wednesday, by 3.4% to 155.38.

That's shredding a jaw-dropping amount of wealth for Tesla investors. The value of Tesla is down $339 billion from the Twitter deal's approval and $206 billion from the close.

Investors worry that Musk is so infatuated with Twitter, he's not minding Tesla.

Investors owning shares of Tesla, now down more than 50% this year, are vocally expressing displeasure. "There is no TSLA CEO today," Gary Black, managing partner of the Future Fund, which is down nearly $18 million on its Tesla stock since April, tweeted Monday, as first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Musk is definitely suffering the most from the Tesla implosion. As the largest shareholder with 14.1% of the company, he's personally lost $47.9 billion from the time the Twitter deal closed.

But losses are spreading to Main Street, too, as the giant ETF and mutual fund companies are the next biggest owners. Vanguard, which is forecasting a recession next year, is the No. 2 largest holder of Tesla stock. It owns nearly 7% of the company. And due to that, its shareholders are down nearly $23 billion from the Twitter deal close.




Good thing no one ever sues over money.

Yeah like I said earlier, sooner or later the Tesla shareholders are going to step in. True believers or not, their allegiance is mostly to share value, not Musk. Not sure what that will look like just yet but with Musk dumping a ridiculous amount of shares on the market for cheap, who knows?

I’m sure he has people on the board who will evangelize for him for a time, but once they feel like their jobs are at risk I bet they change their tune.

It's a totally unworkable set of rules and one with potential significant legal consequences. Still, I'm sure Musk ran it by Twitter's legal department before posting it.

I almost wish I had a twitter account so I could start mass reporting any photo posted on the website...
