A vapourware saleswoman. A bit like a certain Mr Musk is so many ways.
Yeah, sure. All that vapourware online payment handling. And millions of vapourware electric cars. And vapourware commercial spaceflight. You know the general idea is that you should bend your ideas to fit reality, not the other way round, right? You need to pull up the tinfoil hat a bit, it seems to be acting more like blinkers. Hyperloop.
The boring company.
Subterranean superhighways.
Tesla semi truck
PayPal was not his company...wasn't he fired from the board eventually?
Spaceflight...just a continuation of Nasa's work at the end of the day. Vertical landing Is notoriously difficult (which is why it hasn't been used much) and nothing new.
And now...Twitter, lol.
Musk...vapourware salesman. Nothing more, nothing less.
Actually, it probably wasn't fare to compare Theranos to Musk...she has nothing on him really.

Personally I'm not really bothered what happens to Twitter - I am however bothered that Musk is pissing around with it when he should be concentrating on his engineering & manufacturing companies.

I agree. It is fantastic. It’s on Disney TV and I scored it a 10/10 on IMDB. It really is a brilliant series.
Will this series ever make it to more mainstream TV? The fact that TV is so fragmented between so many pay to view platforms is very annoying.That's all we do with everything other than Amazon Prime (Netfix, Disney+, Apple TV, Now TV), subscribe for a month when there are a few things wrth watching and then leave it cancelled the rest of the time. Works out a hell of a lot cheaper than a Sky subscription and a far wider range of content available.

Disney+ is £7.99 a month cancel anytime. if you really want to watch the show that doesn't seem unreasonable for 8 hours of entertainment, and you also get access to other great stuff like Dopesick.

Here two. Cancelled Netflix when they increased the charges. Would go back to watch something particular then cancel again.That's all we do with everything other than Amazon Prime (Netfix, Disney+, Apple TV, Now TV), subscribe for a month when there are a few things wrth watching and then leave it cancelled the rest of the time.

Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes attempted to flee the US shortly after her conviction on fraud charges last year, prosecutors claim.

Did you hear her lawyers arguing how it was nice and innocent - booked in error and admin mess up not cancelling as they all believed she would be ‘let off’ ?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-6434716...
Despite being a one way ticket etc etc…..
Judge gave them the benefit of the doubt
Give me strength!!
