The big oil corporations have been busy buying up all the competing charging networks, so that much tracks.

Despite being born into money, he managed to take on so much risk that it society had to bail him out. Even so, I'm certain that his net worth after bankruptcy was significantly higher than the vast majority in gen-z.

Except they were two different claims. "Some guy named Jesus existed", and "Some guy named Jesus was a street preacher".

"Jesus" is a Latin translation of a Greek translation of the Hebrew name Yeshua so, yes, "Jesus" wasn't literally a common name in Israel. It was actually Yeshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ,) that was a common name.

Some version of Jesus absolutely existed, since is was a pretty common name. Street preachers were not uncommon either, so it's very possible that there was one named Jesus.

The real debate about whether Jesus existed is whether any of the biblical stories are at all accurate. There is No reason to think they are.

Communication is kinda important.

Yes, but what would be the advantage of handling that traffic twice when your already paying someone else to do it?

Just imagine the US goes to war and Elon shuts them off because some foreign leader strokes his (let's say) ego.

This is certainly possible from a technical perspective, but it's unlikely that it would happen in reality. Consumer product companies are invariably going to want to outsource ads to a third party, not host them from their own systems. It's also going to be a pretty small percentage of customers that would bother to do this, and they are probably not the ones that are likely to make purchases based on ads anyways.

You can lead a horse to water, but when his health fails or his business burns down he'll be looking to the big bad government for a handout.
