Betteridge's Law of Headlines: "Any headline that ends with a question mark can be answered 'No.'"

Elon can't do what he wants to do with the platform (i.e. let hate speech have equal footing with everything else), because laws exist, and no matter how rich he is, he must follow them.

80% of his users are in the EU, and they have very strict hate speech and defamation laws. Besides the bills that keep piling up and the lawsuits he's about to face over not paying severance to those who left, he will eventually have to face European governments' orders.

Couple that with the fact that he's shown a lot of people just how much of a turbo-bigot he is, and he's never going to attract the same number of people Twitter had before. The tricks he used to make his other companies work won't work here (and evidence indicates his success was probably somebody else's ideas that he stole).

There's just a huge difference in salary in general. Even the accounting one had a 75k salary. In the UK that would also be in the 30-50k range.

Edit: interestingly it seems like the jobs without required degree are lower paid. The cook only earns 20-25k for a 50 hours/week job. That seems crazy low.

Seems like as soon as you get a college degree in the US your salary jumps by like 50k.

Yeah, the shear strength of super glue just isn't great if you're trying to fix things (like the hinge flap of iPad case) that gets repetitive use. However, scoring/sanding + super glue THEN epoxy or cement can help when joining smooth surfaces together. Also it's great for holding shit together while you wait for the other glue to cure
