SpaceX employees' work is breaking barriers, while this asshat keeps terrorizing them with his utter gross bullshit
Edit: after reading through the article again, some passages stuck out, like:
>Apart from aspiring to become the biological father for his Martian colony, Musk has leveraged many of his own businesses to create a civilization on Mars, including Boring Company tunnels to dig under the planet's surface and a Tesla Cybertruck rugged enough to traverse its mountainous landscapes.
So, take it all with a grain of salt.

Netanyahu says ceasefire deal must allow Israel to keep fighting until ‘all goals achieved’
www.irishtimes.com Israel-Gaza war: Netanyahu says ceasefire deal must allow Israel to keep fighting until ‘all goals achieved’Israeli prime minister makes comments on Sunday as Hamas awaits Israel’s response to the latest proposal
Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu said any Gaza ceasefire deal must allow Israel to resume fighting until its objectives are met.
“Any deal will allow Israel to return and fight until all the goals of the war are achieved,” Mr Netanyahu said in a statement on Sunday.
Hamas has dropped a key demand that Israel first commit to a permanent ceasefire before it would sign an agreement. Instead, it said it would allow negotiations to achieve that throughout the six-week first phase, a Hamas source said on Saturday.
But Mr Netanyahu said he insisted the deal must not prevent Israel from resuming fighting until its war objectives are met.
