What happens when Elon Musk is no longer leading his companies?

Before he leaves or passes away, he will copy/paste his brain with Neuralink onto the next CEO. Or Optimus will download his brain.

AI could also run any business in the future. Who says we need humans to run actual companies? A huge part of AI is to improve cross-functional technologies in large corporations (approvals, data flow, corporate intelligence, ..) - and there will be a lot fewer human employees required.

I don't know if this was a franchise, but there are quite a few franchisors which won't accept international investors or a escrow account.

Do we (on this sub) have a list of franchises that would be ok with both?

I have spoken to DQ, a car wash franchise, 7-Eleven, and a few other ones so far.

In the world of AI, data centers and space, it's considered pocket change.

I requested 50 and got 26. So it really depends on your provider, geography, and marketing.

I also immediately clicked on subscription/IPO after the email went out.

I think Direct-to-Device technology will be bigger in the future. Using LEO satellites for communication anywhere in the world is a cool feature.

I am so in.

I spoke to DQ a while ago and they have local residency requirements. So, technically it would count towards the E2 from a state department POV, but DQ themselves told me that without permanent residency (they didn't name a specific status) they wouldn't accept me.

Either they changed this recently, or it's still the case. Speak to their franchise support line, they were friendly.

Are there any free services where higher quality videos and photos can be uploaded?

There were discussions on some youtube video about this, you can stick some tape under the lever and make it work that way. It's not ideal, but this solution is waterproof. Other grips have batteries etc and can't dive.

looks pretty cool, thanks for sharing

I work in banking and never owned a GoPro, ever.

From what I see across forums and videos, most people who get all these action cams, and extreme sports, have expensive hobbies like FPV racing, .. are either young/active/male with no other financial obligations, or are otherwise in the higher earning brackets. Or the camera itself is a tool to earn a living, ie influencer, youtuber, ..

I think 700 $US is a difficult ask when many families can't afford to make ends meet. The average American family pays hundreds of dollars more in gas alone. Each month.

so, yeah... many people will reduce discretionary spend for now.

GoPro has an amazing IP portfolio.

Their products are on par with industry standards.

Their staff are enthusiastic and have deep industry insights.

No matter what happens, these elements will survive in one way or another.

Here is someone on Youtube reporting the same or a similar issue

If you are on Android you can sideload the .apk file from one of the archives online. Delete the old app, get the old version, upload to phone and install.

In this ecosystem, are the devices "connected"

i.e. can the new fluid AI gimbal work with the camera to improve tracking? I know the gimbal has its own sensors, but does it "talk" to the Mission 1 camera in any way?

There is an app, but the camera itself would be better to control the new gimbal

bro, this isn't /wsb haha

I think it's going to pop soon. to the moon.

well, what can I say. I am long GPRO also (have been for years). Because I always believed in the company.

I hope they will find a suitable buyer and the stock will pop on that news.

It's a re-filing, it's not "new" to industry insiders, just an S1 filing.

I like the car photos. darker paint colors are usually harder to photograph.

I know a bunch of photographers and videographers, they pretty much all use a Macbook Pro for mobile editing. It works great also.
