I am nobody; I have nothing to do with explosions. I have given my name and my day-clothes up to the nurses And my history to the anesthetist and my body to surgeons. They have propped my head between the pillow and the sheet-cuff Like an eye between two white lids that will not shut, for $8 a month.

iPhones are sorta cool and it makes sense that I'd want one, but I also placed a bid on a Vose & Sons Antique Grand Upright Piano for $8 a month.

What would you have me do? Look at my men. Their courage hangs by a thread. If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance, for $8/month.

While there are some classical fanbois and classical haters of the variety you described, in regards to Elon, just as there are with other super-famous people, I think in Elon's case, there is also a whole separate aspect in addition to just that alone. And that is, what I would refer to as "the proxy war". Much like the Vietnam war was more than merely a war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, and was also a proxy war between The U.S./West (capitalism, freedom, democracy) vs USSR (Marxism, oppression, totalitarianism, torture chambers, gulags, etc), with Vietnam serving as the proxy point of battle to see if we could stop the spread of the Marxists as they clearly wanted to keep expanding, if we didn't get in their way, and eventually try to conquer the whole world. In a similar way, that's what is going on with the pro-Elon vs anti-Elon thing. A large chunk of the anti-Elon crowd don't even know or care much about Elon himself. He just functions as a figurehead or symbol of sorts, to them, as they are by and large, leftists, Marxists, etc, who hate capitalism, billionaires, and so on, indiscriminately. So, since he happens to be the richest and most famous of all the billionaires right now, he's badguy #1 in their eyes, regardless of what good things he is doing, or any of that stuff. And on the flip side, you have the counter-proxyists fighting against those proxy-fighters from the opposing side, as well. Now, all of that probably sounds pretty exotic and wild and ridiculous and so on, if you haven't been paying close attention. But, it's actually not. I think I'm actually correct about this dynamic genuinely being there, and being a large chunk of what's going on with all of this.

That's no different to the fact that many of his supporters like him purely because he owns the libs, and must be p smart to have so much money. Like if you genuinely philosophise about and believe in free market capitalism, and think it is a meritocracy, Elon is an aberration and a moron that needs to be erased from the system.

Uh. So in the case of a spammer/scammer you keep the money. The money they were using to do something that might be illegal. The money you're intentionally not giving them what they paid for. The money that you know is likely from a stolen credit card. Wow. This is how you get your payment processor to fire you as a customer.

Or! Stick with me here, this might be tough to swallow, but, and this is only a theory mind you, a postulate, if you will, perhaps Elon Musk is dumb as dirt and people dunking on him are objectively correct in their assessment of the same.

“Impersonation” doesn’t make any goddamn sense in the new framework of “verification”, the gently caress is he talking about. How can Twitter punish, let alone identify, impersonation of an individual if no verification of a user’s identity occurs? What the christ is happening in that man’s brain

I imagine for a brief time he knew contentment getting really high and having Grimes listen elatedly to the stupid poo poo he was spouting like he was some sort of philosopher king people saying he's "divorced guy" are close but he's really more "first major high school breakup guy"

Okay, I know it's cliche to joke about how it's too bad you can't make an image the thread title, but I think it's time for a serious discussion about what it would it actually take to make it happen.

I am forever going to insist that Elon Musk is plainly a SomethingAwful goon, and you are even here ascribing way too goddamn much to him. I have no idea what this goddamn wall of text means about what is going on in your head here, much less what bizarre war of concepts you have on your internal cognitive palette, but let me spoiler this for you: He's a loving idiot, an absolute buffoon flying by the seat of his goddamn pants, just like the rest of the planet, and just like the rest of us.

Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals $8 a month. If $8 a month is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
