Do you think Elon has to send an email when he wants one of his tweets pushed to everyone via notifications? What would that look like?



(I don't follow him and have never interacted with one of his tweets or frequent commenters.)

Most EVs don't work this way

iirc Tesla is also the only EV company that doesn't have blended braking - it's an inexplicable design choice, when more deceleration is needed you'd obviously want to increase the regen first prior to engaging the physical brakes, but I guess that's too hard so Tesla engineers just didn't bother to do it

My brain reading this post: "You don't follow him in the sense that you deleted your twitter account like a fuckin' year ago when everyone else did? That's surely what this poster means. I don't need to tell them to delete their account because there can't be anyone in the thread left who still has one, that would be ludicrous"

As a straight white male, the default human, I simply don't see why features which don't directly benefit me should be allowed to exist.

edit: lol. lmao, even.

Im not a straight white male but thanks.

Also thanks whoever bought me a red text and avatar I guess. I’ve tweeted a total of like 10 times in my whole life so my only experience with being blocked on Twitter are by random right wing chuds which is a minor annoyance for me when I want to read them (when they were linked in other posts on these forums) because then I had to re -open the tweet in a private window.

But cool thanks for assuming weird poo poo about me.

Outside of this thread and twitter itself, I wonder how many people are actually aware how much of a weird loser melon is, do they just think of him as 'the really smart guy who invented tesla.' I guess he doesn't care, as long as people are thinking about him

Good to know he's working hard to fix that image

I think it's slowly (let that) sinking into to the public consciousness as him being the most divorced dipshit on the planet is making its way into more mainstream media.

But probably not fast enough. I'm still on Twitter and have this thread urging me to delete my account, while my TweetDeck just has columns of accounts I follow - local news, funny animal GIFs and maybe whatever breaking news event is happening (currently a video-only column of tweets about tropical storm Hilary).

This thread is full of the absolute worst of Twitter and if you're scouring the site for the worst tweets from the worst people then yes it is going to be a hellsite. But for normies just following their favourite celebs and mainstream news the rot isn't yet noticeable.

The rare time I go on Twitter instead of TweetDeck, the "For You" algorithm is surprisingly good at recommending accounts I might like. Compared to the YouTube algorithm, that aggressively pushes far-right channels and unblocks them after an arbitrary time to give you the chance to reconsider not being a Nazi, Twitter isn't as bad in comparison.

Yeah from what I've seen of Elon, the biggest asset he's had in his failing upward into billions is his total lack of empathy and ability to not consider other people when it comes to making decisions.

lol he sure learned to consider at least some people when he quickly walked back his firing-by-tweet of that Icelandic guy. Oh he learned that real fast. He even started sucking up to the guy by becoming his reply guy

It was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen :allears:
