AVZ Discussion 2022

Sure, but Elons real goal is to get to Mars, everything else is his side quest. Politics helps him achieve that goal.

I hope Elon fulfills his dream

The further away he is from here the better IMO

Mate, much has been written about Henry Ford's contribution to the Soviet Union's economy in the 1920s and 1930s. However, what is not so well known is the story of the thousands of US workers in the depression years lured by propaganda to the Soviet Union on the promise of jobs and a just society.

Very few made it back to the US. Most died as penniless factory slaves or were shipped to the gulags...never to be seen or heard from again.

"The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia" by Tim Tzouliadis.

"As with most famous people, Henry Ford was complex and had traits and took actions that were laudatory as well as troublesome. The most controversial and least admirable aspect of Ford’s career was his descent into anti-Semitism. Convinced that “bankers” and “the Jews” were responsible for a whole range of things he didn’t like, from the world war to short skirts to jazz music, Ford used his newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, to carry on an active anti-Semitic campaign. Between 1920 and 1922 a series of articles denounced all things Jewish. While officially apologizing for the articles in 1927, Ford’s anti-Jewish sentiments ran deep. Seen within the context of the times, they demonstrate the sharp realities and tensions that emerge in societies undergoing profound cultural, economic and political change. "

If I gesticulate that I'm ripping my heart out and throwing it into crowd then for some reason my palm is facing upwards, in a sort of feeding the pigeons motion but that could just be me and I certainly don't thrust it out in a stiff, sharp upwards diagonal motion.

Do I think he's a Nazi? No in fact I always thought he was Jewish for some reason or at least a robot like Zuckerberg.

Do I think he made an unfortunate error in choice of gesture? Yes but I'm grateful for the meme content.

Well said, (pigeon) point taken.

Great find Frank.

Interestingly, CATL's TENER batteries (as proposed for the Saudi battery) use lithium carbonate, rather than lithium hydroxide as the precursor material.

This may explain why AVZ's announcement on 8 Jan 2025, said that AVZI will be granted an option to purchase up to 49% of CATH's interest in a lithium hydroxide or carbonate conversion plant (LHC Plant) to be built by CATH.

I was intrigued at the time why carbonate got a mention.

Umm, it absolutely does needs to be viewed in context. Otherwise that single frame appears to be a Nazi salute, happily seized upon by Trump haters.

However, Musk said, "Thank you! My heart goes out to you". He then gesticulates by slapping his hand on his heart before ripping his hand away towards the audience, he is sending his heart to:

Oh no! The man put his hand in the naughty no no White person bad position!

This is fake outrage to distract from actual issues. The guys just on the spectrum.

dont agree with that. I can understand why some people might be upset. seeing that symbol makes me think of nazi germany and the millions that they killed. quite a disgusting act by anyone doing that deliberately imo. whether he did it deliberately or not, dont know, does he deserve the benefit of the doubt? is being on the spectrum a valid excuse or just a convenient out?

fwiw, I'm not a trump hater either, just dont agree with half of the shit he does, the other half ok. I like his anti woke stance, pro business, cutting back federal employees and spending, etc. I dont like his chaos nature, attack on democracy, disrespect for women and doing things such as giving pardons to the rioters that attacked police. I also get why he was elected and believe that choice needs to be respected. I tend to think trump wont be as bad as feared and wont be as good as hoped.

 

[BRICK]

seriously 57 fucking million????

Grubby arsehole....

 

[ptlas]

Musk is no different from Bezos or Zuckergerg or a whole bunch of other immensely wealthy and influential corporate czars. They are just part of the unelected corporatocracy that runs America.

Personally, I believe we have a lot to fear from them.

Fear isn't the half of it.
Outrageous ( maybe ) thoughts:

Twenty years hence.
Dozens of massive glaciers are slipping into the world's oceans, with more to follow.
Oceans already 10m higher than now, with hundreds more metres of rises forecast, making life on earth all but impossible.

Think disease and perpetual wars for resources. USA, NATO, AUKUS or the ABC gonna help?
What do you think.

Still, at least Oz will have Virginia Class submarines. Maybe.

On a ramp, maybe somewhere in Eastern Europe, our great non-nazi 'Leier' ( Afrikaans ) is selecting the participants for a one- way ticket to Mars.
Right to the rocketship.
Left to the showers. Well actually warm baths, but they will heat up.
Hope you're not transgender. Woke is out.

Do dystopian ideas seem crazy to you? Impossible?
Those sorts of scenarios were believable on screens, so why not now?

Only joking. Maybe.

The sea can only rise about 70m, 80 tops if you melt all the ice. I say "only", that's still very very bad for all of us.

Fill a cup with ice cubes. Add water to fill it to the rim. Leave out overnight and take a picture for the forum..

Fucking tin hat brigade..

80m doesn't seem like much if ya on the eyre peninsula about to head over to WA, but if ya in Melbourne... your world is gone

Archimedes theory. True. Unless the ice is already on land.

Regardless, this political shite on a good thread really has no place. Piss it off everyone, elons hand gestures have zero to do with AVZ.

He was asked how high is the current pile of manure in the US of A and he responded 'See This High'.

That wasn't Archimedes, but Elon.

Highly likely a potential buyer of the final product of Manono.

But...

Trump stopped EV's and windmills.
Sounds so familiar...
Don Quixote and Sancho

I better go back to my ice and GT Archimedes test.

Cheer up Fin Flekman
Live is not all bad.

Have a good sleep, maybe you understand after.
