BUCK ROGERS VS.MICHAEL CORLEONE

摘要

The first full week of February brought a sense of just how off-kilter 2019 is setting out to be.Activist investors tore into two oil and gas companies.Two others explored sales.The market remained skittish.The Green New Deal was introduced in Congress,more political than practical.And on Twitter,Elon Musk and Mars began flirting.On Feb.8,a Twitter account belonging to Mars(@4thFromOurStar) proclaimed it wanted”only Elon."“I want you too baby,”Musk replied.Musk has said he would consider moving to Mars.Musk tweeted toward the end of the day,taking time away from his chores leading rocket-ship maker SpaceX,as well as Tesla and Neuralink,a company which is working on brain-machine interfaces."When are you coming over babe?”Mars asked.A good question,Musk's investors may be thinking.Here on Earth,firmly in the oil and gas ground,the chatter is less lively but the prospects just as distant.Sure,potential deals are stirring conversation-particularly with so few actual deals to distract the gossips.
