'Star Wars' actor threatens Elon Musk with Twitter boycott after name rebrand: 'Let's show the owner'
Mark Hamill is calling on Twitter users to boycott the site on Aug. 1Actor Mark Hamill is calling on other Twitter users to boycott the site on Aug. 1 in an apparent attempt to protest Elon Musk’s ownership of the social media platform that's rebranding as "X."
"This will only be effective if EVERYONE refrains from tweeting (X-ing?) on August 1st a/k/a #TweetlessTuesday. Let's show the owner the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Honestly, would it kill you to keep your thoughts to yourself for 1 d--- day? Read a book!" Hamill told his fans Sunday.
The "Star Wars" actor also made another call to boycott Twitter on Saturday. "Looking forward to taking a day off on #TweetlessTuesday!!!"
Hamill is one of the leading voices lashing out at Musk over his major changes to the site. He also insulted Twitter's new logo in July, sharing a picture of the "X" on the company's offices in San Francisco.
"Has everybody seen the (eXecrable) new logo?" the star wrote, making a pun on Twitter’s new name. Hamill also tweeted the hashtags "ByeByeBirdie" and "TaTaTwitter."
Hamill's most recent post attacking Musk's leadership of the platform went viral, racking up over 4.6 million views and more than 44,500 likes as of publication.
Leftist political commentator and influencer "Jo" said that she would follow Hamill "into the depths of hell," even it meant avoiding weighing in on big news.

SpaceX has launched 15 more Starlink satellites from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. En route to orbit, the Falcon 9 rocket tore a hole in the ionosphere. The red light in the video is *not* rocket exhaust. Instead, it is the afterglow of a charge exchange reaction between rocket exhaust (mostly water) and gases in the ionosphere. The reaction quenched local ionization by as much as 70%, essentially erasing the ionosphere along the rocket's path.

Biden administration SUES Elon Musk's SpaceX for 'only hiring US citizens' and 'discouraging' asylum seekers and refugees from applying for jobs
The Biden administration on Thursday accused Elon Musk's rocket and satellite company Space of discriminating against asylum seekers and refugees in its hiring practices. The Justice Department is suing the company for backpay for people who were denied jobs. 'The lawsuit alleges that, from at least September 2018 to May 2022, SpaceX routinely discouraged asylees and refugees from applying and refused to hire or consider them, because of their citizenship status, in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act,' the Justice Department said in a statement.(More on the link)

I thought that only US citizens were eligible for jobs in the space sector in America?

I posted raising here because of the implications of this supply for electric cars...I assume Elon Musk builds his own batteries, with this deposit of Lithium he would not have to go far to get it lol...
...
Volcanologists and geologists from Lithium Americas Corporation, GNS Science, and Oregon State University reported their findings in a paper for Science Advances, published August 31.
The deposit exists in the McDermitt Caldera, a caldera approximately 28 miles long and 22 miles wide. It is believed that the caldera contains around 20 to 40 million metric tons of lithium – a figure that would dwarf deposits in Chile and Australia.
Belgian geologist Anouk Borst told Chemistry World that the findings "could change the dynamics of lithium globally, in terms of price, security of supply and geopolitics."

Probably Bezos. Musk is a twelve-year-old in a man's body.
