Just from a news standpoint. The collapse already happened IMO. And we’re now — and thanks to Cale for helping me articulate it — at the point where it’s kept alive by the equivalent of people who buy vinyl records. I doubt the holdouts want to consume AI generated text/podcasts

He was hosted by Vladimir Oblast governor to discuss the project, met Putin, attended Orthodox Easter mass in Moscow in the presence of Putin. I believe it is newsworthy. I do not need journalism lessons from commentators.
Dear news experts AND consumers of news. A humble inquiry: Of what news and editorial value are the utterances of Musk's father? Why are his opinion "news" and why must the nation know about them?
