Remember the time that Musk kramered into the Thai cave situation with a sub that wouldn't fit in the cave then when the guy who actually saved all the kids said his idea wasn't helpful he called him a pedoguy then paid his lawyer enough money to get him to convince a jury that pedoguy wasn't an insult. That's not the guy that is going to take humanity to Mars.

Tired: Hack the planet Wired: Funge the planet Party Ape posted:Remember the time that Musk kramered into the Thai cave situation with a sub that wouldn't fit in the cave then when the guy who actually saved all the kids said his idea wasn't helpful he called him a pedoguy then paid his lawyer enough money to get him to convince a jury that pedoguy wasn't an insult. Really the most hilarious thing about that, in retrospect, is that the accused guy hired loving Lin Wood, the batshit insane Q-anon "lawyer" to represent him.

Jelly posted:I love your red text. I've seen it a lot and I've never seen you mention birds and most of the poo poo you post is pretty tame so it just make me think you pissed off someone at Big Bird Cage. Like, who gets mad about people wanting a better life for caged animals? I got drunk and attacked someone about caging birds I got what I deserved it's also nonsensical because a mod made it less triggering it's a pig's breakfast and I like it for that don't cage birds folks, it's like a cigarette burn on your soul

Re the how smart is elon question? We can now set a lower bound on his intelligence: he is marginally smarter than this guy.Matt Levine posted:This week Trevor Milton goes on trial for allegedly doing fraud at Nikola Corp., the electric-vehicle startup that went public via SPAC; its stock traded as high as $79.73 when the SPAC deal was announced, and it closed at $5.36 yesterday. Nikola is most famous for making a video showing its truck moving; it had not made a working truck yet, so it rolled the truck down a hill so it looked like it could drive. I feel like if you did that for Masayoshi Son, and he was impressed and said “that truck sure can drive,” and then you were like “nah we rolled it down a hill, gotcha!” he would appreciate your craziness and give you $50 billion. But if you do it for public investors you will get arrested.

Yes, I did remember most of that, but not the part about the sub being too big. I just thought there was no way to get ElonSub there in time. Corrected that last sentence for you.

Zil posted:He is such a dumb rear end. Like seriously how does he get any serious scientists to work on his stupid ideas? Klyith posted:He is not, in fact, serious about that. Might be the smartest thing I've read in this thread to this point, thank you, Klyith. Just saw on the news that one of Elon's fellow space cowboy billionaire competitors, Jeff Bezos, just had a failed mission today with his company Blue Origin. Since Jeff doesn't seem to be a good guy to work for either at all pay levels of Amazon, despite his public persona, I root against him harder than I do Elon in their attempts at World Domination 2.0. Richard Branson is the other guy I was thinking of, but he's a bit of an also-ran in the E-penis Space Race given his lower wealth status, almost a Three Comma Guy pauper in that regard, but generally a nice person from what I understand.

If you tweeted at Elon and called him a pedo guy do you think he'd get angry and sue you?

Hey guys, want to hear the richest and smartest man in the world speak out loud? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3lUEnMaiAU I dunno how to link times on mobile but check it out from 21:00 Seriously, watch it. "W-we don't have much time to solve...uh...uh, th-the...neuralink" The part from 5:44 is hilarious too. The whole thing is beyond satirical if you have an iron stomach that can withstand the cringe. Also the bazingas in the comments think he's a genius. Just...jfc

In the 1890s were people stanning over Andrew Carnegie and pseudo-worshipping him as some kind of sorta Demigod?

the twitter whistleblower hearings are ongoing right now and the coverage generally suggests this guy won't be very useful for Musk https://twitter.com/ScottNover/status/1569706375411863553 https://twitter.com/chancery_daily/status/1569707607140569089 it's mainly just GOP senators vaguely airing their complaints at Twitter while Zatko nods and tells them they're probably right

I am a really ethical, upstanding guy who cares deeply about user security, privacy, and the bad standards of pervasive data collection common in the tech industry. What group of people can I take these concerns to, in the knowledge that they'll do the best thing for the ordinary people? I know, the US congress! Like I think the guy really just does have his heart in the right place. What I really would love to know is whether he is just super naive and thinks this will change anything, or whether he put together a report specifically to help Elon because he thinks Elon will do a better job.

Party Ape posted:Isn't he testifying to congress because it was a carve out in his NDA? He wasn't allowed to tell most people everything he knows (which is apparently not much)? whistleblower complaints in general were a carve out, which is why Mudge went public in that method He's testifying before congress because twitter vs elon has given the spotlight to anything connected to twitter and congress-critters love a spotlight. Also 50% of congress hates big tech for banning nazis, and the other 50% of congress hates big tech for turning people into nazis for ad profits. So they're both happy to talk poo poo about twitter. The question is whether this is a valid whistleblower complaint at all: Mudge is alleging a bunch of stuff that's extremely common in big tech, and questionable whether it's illegal in any way (either directly illegal or SEC illegal vis a vis financial reports). Ordinarily I am guessing that a kinda bogus whistleblower complaint would be super dangerous for someone in this guy's position -- twitter could sue him despite the carve-out and win. They just say to a court "this whistleblower report contains no allegations that would result in regulatory action, even if they were true". Prove that and they can claw back all the money they gave him and probably damages too. But, plot twist motherfuckers! If Mudge's complaint is ineffective and twitter wins vs Elon in delaware, Elon is forced to buy twitter. Elon now controls twitter, and has no motive* to gently caress over the guy who tried to do him a solid. OTOH if Elon wins, the whistleblower complaint is likely a big part of it and maybe** gives him the cover he needs. So he's set up a coin flip of heads I win tails you lose***. * other than being a giant dick? ** matt levine says the most useful thing for elon is that twitter did a settlement with Mudge without consulting him, which maybe isn't useful cover vs a NDA suit *** exception: if twitter vs elon ends via out of court settlement with elon handing over a sack of cash but not owning twitter. elon doesn't own twitter, twitter still has reason to sue him into a hole in the ground.
