Except the USA must reform the following laws before that happens:

1. Eliminate binding arbitration in consumer contracts.
2. Eliminate Employment-at-Will and replace it with Just Cause.
3. Eliminate noncompete agreeements in employment contracts.
4. Move to a single-payer health care system
5. Implement a 48 hour maximum working time for non-mangerial employees.
6. Eliminate taxation of Expats if they are outside of the United States
7. Implement "Trading Standards" in a similar fashion that the UK does.
8. Implement better Internet Privacy laws similar to the EU's GPDR.
9. Replace OSHA with a system similar to the Heath and Safety Executive.
10. Implement stronger environmental protection laws with teeth.

The United States would soundly reject these 10 requirements so assimilation would probably never happen, meaning that the UK would only be absorbed into the United States by force.

The lone wolf consultant probably won't be able to afford the service. Without it taking care of the gating items which require buy in from all stakeholders in a large corporation, it will output a sub-optimal design. The communication overhead to achieve buy-in and resolving problems with overcoming problems tool vendor software, and debugging, is what takes up most of an engineer's time today in a large company. AI which attacks this communication burden along with handling the boring and repetitive aspects of design work would be the thing which would sell. The AI would still not be able to physically help with the bring up of the first prototypes in the lab either.

when the bridge or building collapses, or many die due to a flaw in a drug developed by these AGE's?

I bet it won't be anyone in this new startup due to the corporate veil.

Nobody has made them yet, so there is no data.

I hope you enjoy your stay in ADX Florence administrative segregation, because La Presidenta will make it so.

He could (very likely) liquidate all of his holdings in SpaceX and walk away.

This is not investment advice.

If the money losing divisions in SpaceX get in trouble, he could do this before the information becomes public knowledge. Then with 1E12 dollars on hand he could start new businesses while SpaceX takes a hit due to the money losing divisions.

He could also get out, wait, and then buy back into SpaceX if it is still worth something after its haircut.

Purchase the government of the United States

once Spacex employees sell thier RSU's 6 months from now.

This is not stock advice.

My guess is that Mr. Musk will get to sell some of his holdings before the employees get to do so, due to planned sales and other manipulations.

With everybody offloading their shares, I expect that the share price will dip at that time.

The other issues over the longer term are:

1. The money-losing divisions in SpaceX
2. The lack of investors able to vote their shares.
3. Risk to index funds such as QQQ if SpaceX fumbles.

Oh, and one more thing: If Facebook had to default things like this off, then maybe they would have to switch to a membership dues model, because after all you are the product.

From wikipedia:

Universal default is a now-banned practice in the United States financial services industry whereby a creditor would change the terms of a loan from the normal terms to the default terms (i.e. the terms and rates given to those who have missed payments on a loan) when that lender is informed that their customer has defaulted with another unrelated lender, even though the customer has not defaulted with the first lender.[1]

So what you do elsewhere affects what Facebook is going to do to you... Think about that for a moment.

Facebook is acting like you're chained to a Flouroscope table getting a full body search against your will. (Apologies to the "Stainless Steel Rat")

Never been a Facebook user, and never will.

Demand charges are charges the utility imposes on commercial and industrial customers when they attach large loads to the grid and they draw large startup currents.

Rework the demand charges to penalize dumping loads instantaneously and the problem should be solved.

I see no reason that data centers couldn't manage their electrical loads more gracefully.

Harder to jam.
Smaller antennas.
Easier to Conceal.

You know you're in trouble when you feel the saliva boiling on your tongue.

"In 1966, NASA aerospace engineer and spacesuit technician Jim LeBlanc experienced the terrifying reality of vacuum exposure during a spacesuit test in a vacuum chamber at Johnson Space Center. When a pressurization hose accidentally disconnected, his suit depressurized to a near-vacuum. Before passing out from hypoxia in about 14 seconds, his last conscious memory was feeling the saliva on his tongue begin to boil."

There is more truth in the AI responses right now then there is in the polluted web search results you see from search engines today.

Haven't you noticed that when you ask a search engine for a product review or how to solve a problem how much incorrect or biased information is in the initial search results?

SEO doesn't work on AI. You have to poison its training data, and reference data.

AI poisoning was bound to happen. There's just to much money at stake which incentivizes people looking to make a buck the easy way by borderline deception, and preying on peoples laziness and lack of attention span to really get to the correct information.

There is no employment-at-will in India. If companies prefer to follow the law in India (Which a lot of them don't) You have to have a specific reason to fire them (Just Cause).
